In reply to Lititz: 1942: I grew up in Lititz and remember this building, but I don’t remember it being used by the railroad. It is gone now, and I don’t know when it was torn down, but after I left home for the navy in 1976. It was used to push hopper cars up […]

RE: Two ears, etc. December 6, 2024
In reply to Dig In, Folks: 1942: My interpretation: Note that Collins set the camera to capture both the sunlit outdoors and the flash-lit indoors. 1) Long shutter opening for the natural light outside, say 1/2 second or 1 second or whatever, also gets a faint image of the people indoors. 2) Flash inside gets […]

A Ukraine War Primer December 6, 2024
1. INTRODUCTIONI know I’ve been posting a lot about the war in Ukraine. It’s a preoccupation for three reasons: (i) I think our rulers have lost their minds; (ii) I think the popular understanding of the reasons for and risks of the war are dangerously misguided; and (iii) there is a grave risk that the […]

Identifying Devil’s Club Plant August 10, 2023
Devil’s Club is a common wild plant in Alaska that’s large & covered in hidden sharp thorns, growing everywhere from remote forests to even well-groomed Anchorage city trails. Just because you’re “in town” doesn’t mean you won’t run into devil’s club. It’s smart to stay on the trails, particularly if you’re not confident spotting it. […]

It’s here. The big day. My memoir, the one I spent 15 years struggling over, launches today from Raised Voice Press. I’m feeling very exposed, very vulnerable.
