Today's selection -- from Villa and Zapata: A History of the Mexican Revolution by Frank McLynn. Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata were the key revolutionaries in the Mexican Revolution of the early 20th century.

Today's selection -- from A Wicked War by Amy S. Greenberg. Zachary Taylor was one of the heroes of the Mexican-American War, and soon enough became the twelfth U.S. president.

Today we visit Cleveland, TX, to view images of the Cox Machine Shop, Cleveland Tire Service, and the Allen & Bazoon Garage. A glance at the Cadillac in front of Cox Machine in the lead photo dated 1961 by the source gives the appearance that it is levitating. Although we think it was positioned on...

The Weekday Traffic Grind May 23, 2022
Slow-moving cars and traffic jams are annoying but really are not anything new. Period films dating back to 1906 show heavy city traffic and lane-changing drivers just as daring as those you see on the roads today. Today’s circa 1950s lead image and the expandable version below containing a highway bridge and off ramp in...

Then you see it, May 25, 2022
In reply to Shaken & Singed: 1906: now you don't: the (shells of the) Crocker, French Bank, Union Trust and Hobart Buildings. Only the second of these remains. (Pettibone Bros. -- manufacturer of "uniforms, regalia, flags, banners, badges and secret society goods of all kinds" -- had been at 19 New Montgomery.)

My best guess May 25, 2022
In reply to Shaken & Singed: 1906: New Montgomery Street is mercifully short, so not many options as to where the photographer was standing in 1906. I'm assuming the new Hobart Buildings were built on the site of the destroyed Hobart Buildings. From that, here is my best guess as to the angle today. Click […]

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 […]

This Is Us’ series finale is a gentle goodbye hug May 25, 2022
I didn’t expect to spend the This Is Us series finale smiling more than crying. After last week’s inventive, emotionally harrowing goodbye to Rebecca, “Us” is a gentle denouement for the series—one last hug for the road. There’s little here that’s revelatory or artistically innovative. In fact, you could probably…Read more...

Listen to the Chicken, I mean Chef by @KatyWalters07 May 24, 2022
Mouth-watering pancakes are famous worldwide. I know my family finds them irresistible. They are also so easy to cook, even if you’re a chef who burns everything. The ingredients can be found in any cook’s cupboard. Some have been there for years, so this would be a good time for you to use the flour. […]

A Redleg’s Rides

Miscellanea .... A Ride for Brigitta, the Sammy loses her new Oil Pressure Gauge and gains a Windjammer Clone. May 24, 2022
In an effort to get some miles onto Brigitta's (my '87 R80 Beemer) odometer, I rode her all the way to the Hugo State Wildlife Area. This was on Monday, May 16. It would prove windier than expected, especially while moving at 75 mph eastbound on the I-70 Super Slab towards the town of Limon, CO! […]

Dealing with a Tight Soft Top and a couple of New Stickers May 14, 2022
Now that the Sammy appears to be willing to be operational, it was time to do some other things for her.Some of you were aware that the Sammy sported a sticker on the spare wheel which read: "0 to 60, Eventually". Something to perhaps give clueless drivers a hint that perhaps the Sammy doesn't accelerate […]

My CIA Instructor Dutch: The Life Behind The Legend May 20, 2022
If you’ve read my book The Chaos Kind, you might remember a certain CIA SOG (Special Operations Group) character named Dutch. And while I don’t write characters based on real people, that doesn’t mean none of my characters were inspired by them...So yes, there is a real Dutch, who a long time ago I was extremely lucky to train […]

Will Smith, Chris Rock, and "Violence Is Never The Answer" March 29, 2022
Not taking a position on last night’s Smith/Rock incident. But for anyone piously intoning some version of “Violence never solves anything, violence is never the answer, violence has no place in XYZ, etc,” have you considered what discourse would be like with zero possibility of offense to words leading to violence?Actually, you don’t have to […]

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 […]

I’m saying my goodbyes to Toronto. I’ve seen my last Hot Docs Festival film, and I’m just back from my last author program. I’ve probably had my last roti, checked out my last book at my local branch library, gone to my last art workshop. Horror of horrors, I’ve even watched my last play. The thing […]

Malnourished launches today January 21, 2020
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. This is not at all similar to when Dolls Behaving Badly launched from Hachette Book Group. That was a novel, and while some of it was based on… […]

Book review: Secondhand Summer by Dan Walker December 1, 2019
I had had Alaska writer Dan Walker’s YA novel SECONDHAND SUMMER on my list for a long time, and two weeks ago finally had the chance to dive in. I wasn’t disappointed. Walker’s book, geared for middle school readers (but still immensely enjoyable for adults), follows 14-year-old Sam’s move to Anchorage from the small fishing… […]

Comment on Spring Birds and Flowers by matt goff May 12, 2022
Thanks for the question Michi - trailing currant does grow wild in Sitka. I notice it most commonly along the edges near beaches, but have seen it at other locations also. The berries are blue, but have a whitish bloom on them (link goes to a picture I took of them a few years ago)

Good Day, I was curiosed at the Foto of the Trailing Currant (Ribes laxiflorum). It looked to me familiar and when I looked it up in german it confirmed my guess. Do they grow wild in Sidka? What color berries do they have? Thank you for sharing, Michi, Switzerland
