November 1920. Washington, D.C. "Washington Herald election screen." The screen being white sheets hung from this frame on election night, with wire-service voting results projected onto them from a stereopticon -- a practice dating back at least to the 1890s in cities across the United States, and which gradually died out with the advent of […]

VOTELESS District of Columbia November 6, 2024
In reply to Election Screen: 1920: The Kaufman ad in Dave's post below has it right: in 1920, residents of the District of Columbia could not vote in presidential elections, and had no representation in the Senate or the House of Representatives. A century later, DC has three electoral votes, based on population, but with […]

Searching the internet, you’ll come across many variations — all probably good — but here’s a basic recipe to start you on your course. The kids and I canned these using the boiling method, though pressure canners might make the process easier. Not sure how, […]

Maybe not so big a Paradigm Shift after all.....Yagi has Spark Again October 22, 2024
So many notions, most unrealistic in the end, ran through my feeble brain the last week or so.Substitute the TW200 with an E-Bike? Less moving parts, yes but costs and their performance envelopes just didn't justify costs. Give up taking a motorcycle, whether the T-Dub or Scarlett, the Ural Sidecar Rig, when going camping?

But to try to summarize: I don’t think America has two political parties; I think we […]

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. […]
