whigs versus tories -- 12/7/21 December 7, 2021
Today's selection -- from Our First Revolution by Michael Barone.

Today's selection -- from Merchant Kings by Stephen R. Bown. The Dutch resisted requests of the residents of New Amsterdam--soon to be New York--for services such as schoolteachers, church ministers, a legal system and military defense, because of the cost: "Some [residents of New Amsterdam] began farming on Manhattan, 'a convenient place abounding with grass.'

Today’s lead image and the enlargeable version below contain a view of Kenmore Square in Boston, MA, during the winter of 1934 or ’35. Today, it may be hard to imagine this area was actually known as Sewell’s Point in the early 1800s facing Boston’s “Back Bay.” In time at least a third of the...

My Grandfather: 1915 October 25, 2021
My paternal grandfather (standing, far left) spent quite a lot of his life crewing on square-rigged ships (also known as "windjammers") out of San Francisco. These ships were owned and operated by Alaska Packers, which was a division of the Del Monte Corp (aka the California Packing Corporation). The company had a small fleet of […]

Flaneurisme December 4, 2021
In reply to Twelfth and G: 1901: Notcom is correct - Washington Savings Bank on the right has been replaced by a Macy's, which takes up the north side of the block to 13th Street. But if you swing Google Street View to your left there is a Chase Bank. The church is gone, but […]

Tropical Orb Weaver Spider September 27, 2021
So I recently had a meet and greet with this interesting visitor. Startling experience to be sure, but intriguing, too. I mean, just look at this spider! Incredible. It’s quite large, about the size of my thumb, and a bit intimidating. As I’ve never met a spider this large (I’m happy to say) and wasn’t […]

Beneficials in the Garden September 2, 2021
Upon first inspection of this photo, you might be wondering if I’ve lost my mind. The tomato hornworm is not a beneficial in your garden. They can do extreme damage to tomato, pepper and eggplants in a matter of hours, destroying en entire plant within days. Definitely not good, especially when you’ve been salivating over […]

Jamaican Christmas Traditions December 7, 2021
In Jamaica, we have no snow or anything that resembles it, but the weather does get a little cooler at Christmastime and we start feeling what we call “Christmas Breeze” by late November. Jamaicans love to party, so the festivities start with office parties and move into friend and family gatherings as it gets closer […]

A safer way to get on and off the VRRV's roof December 7, 2021
Back at the beginning of the summer trip to the East Coast with Martha in the VRRV; I had accidentally damaged the upper mount of the VRRV's ladder. Basically, while parking under some trees, the ladder hit a branch big enough to bend it:At the time, it had seemed secure enough and it wasn't like […]

More rock climbing at the Indian Bread Rocks Recreation Area December 6, 2021
After a late breakfast, I headed towards what I call "picnic rock" to see what kind of sights I could see in the midmorning light.I didn't see anything up top that I'd not already captured yesterday. However, from there I saw another small hill with a somewhat flat rocky outcropping. It was close by so […]

Flash-Forward Preambles: What, How, and When October 16, 2021
Updated BelowFor various reasons, recently I got a little obsessed with flash-forward movie and television preambles. That is, presentations that begin with a scene from later in the story, and then spend some amount of screen time catching up to the “later” scene that came at the start. How much catch-up varies. Sometimes the catch-up […]

Comparing Mint Plants: Spearmint, Apple & Chocolate April 23, 2020
Mint is a reasonably cold-hardy perennial, meaning it grows back every year under the right conditions. Just like there are many different kinds of tomatoes (cherry, beefsteak, roma, etc.), there are plenty different varieties of mint, too. Here’s an overview comparison of three different kinds of mints that grow well for me in Anchorage, Alaska: […]

Chickens Laying Eggs in the Winter April 4, 2020
Do chickens still lay eggs in the winter? That’s a common question many curious poultry lovers ask me. The answer? It depends. Egg laying chickens will naturally taper off and cease egg production in winter months, assuming you live somewhere that gets darker in winter months than summer. In Alaska, where our winter months might […]

Snowy Starrigavan High Tide December 5, 2021
Mostly clear through the first half of the day, then clouds and a few light snow showers later. I braved the roads to check Starrigavan at high tide. Today’s high was predicted to be 12.8 ft. This is about what it got to last month with some atmospheric assist. Things were working in the other […]
