Senior Sneak: 1955 June 10, 2022
Senior Sneak was the name applied to Marin Catholic High School's pre-graduation recreation getaway day, which for the class of 1955, including my brother and his roll of Tri-X film, was on May 18th that year. There was nothing particularly sneaky about it, since it was school-sponsored -- another shot depicts the principal at the […]

Boys at lower right August 10, 2022
In reply to Detroit River Tunnel: 1910: So much to look at in this photo, but I can’t take my eyes off those three boys in the lower right, on the wooden pier. One lounges casually, one is caught in motion as he insouciantly leans forward, and the third boy appears to be yanking himself […]

"Bull" Durham August 9, 2022
In reply to Hudson River Piers: 1910: The name and image on that billboard have quite a story. The North Carolina tobacco merchant who founded the Bull Durham brand took the Bull from Colman's English Mustard (based in Norwich, not Durham). The American company engaged in extended litigation to protect the trademark Bull. The Durham […]

From caterpillars to stink bugs, your tomato plant is prime eating for these beasts. NOT PRETTY–but don’t despair! While these critters have it out for your plants, you can outsmart […]

Nandor gets hitched in front of some old favorites in tonight's What We Do In The Shadows August 10, 2022
The nice (or sociopathic, whatever) thing about being a vampire is that there are very few problems that don’t go away on their own eventually. For mere mortals, the idea of marrying someone we don’t actually love just because we want to have a big party where we get to wear an extremely fancy hat […]

How Do You Shape A Character Who's Had Experiences You Haven't? August 8, 2022
Fiction involves a mix of experience, research, and imagination, with the first two both grounding and boosting the third.

Violence and the Principles of Good Storytelling, With Wim Demeere August 5, 2022

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 […]

Matt, good to meet you at Swan Lake last week. I realized I did not see any Eurasian Collared-Doves on this visit to Sitka, and I did not find any eBird records after January 2022. It would be fascinating to track their rise and fall in the Sitka area. Bill
