I saw this the other day and snapped a pic. It reminded me of Custard’s Last Stand.
Where the Hell Is Our Congress?

Taking a Break from the Diet
I’ve been doing so well with my dieting, that when I came across a recipe for lasagna for two, I figured I could ease up on it for a day or two. It’s been a long time since I made lasagna. I’ve long since lost my mother’s recipe, the one she got from my aunt … Continue reading Taking a Break from the Diet
Festival!
When I went to the Acme on Saturday, I saw some streets were blocked off. It turned out that they were setting up for the Italian Market Festival on Ninth Street. It looked like it would get pretty crowded later on in the day, so I was glad to walk through there in the early … Continue reading Festival!
When It Breaks, Replace It
I’ve had a set of metal measuring cups for years. I don’t know how long I’ve had them, nor do I have any idea where I may have gotten them, but I use them all the time. A few days ago, the handle broke off from one of them. So I went over to Fante’s … Continue reading When It Breaks, Replace It
A Visit to the Dermatologist
One of the things I like about the dermatologist is he has his office in a building among a row of townhouses. Once inside, you go up a flight and a half of stairs to reach his office. One of the things I don’t like is he joined his practice to a corporate dermatology group. … Continue reading A Visit to the Dermatologist
More Short Takes
There is a bonus episode of the Pluribus podcast featuring Rhea Seehorn and Carol Burnett.

Give it a listen: “Carol” and Carol: A Conversation I’ve heard Carol Burnett tell the story about her performance in The … Continue reading More Short Takes
Enter Carl Gruber
In room 515 Mifflin Hall there were two new fellows that third year at Penn State in September 1969. One of them was from Frystown, which was a mere hop, skip, and a jump from Richland, but I no longer can recall that guy’s name. I’ve tried everything I can think of. I’ve even gone … Continue reading Enter Carl Gruber
Icelandic Yogurt
The Acme was out of Greek yogurt the other day, so I bought some Icelandic yogurt. It’s just as thick and creamy as the Greek yogurt, and it has a few advantages as well. It has three more grams of protein per serving but 20 fewer calories. Of course, it has some disadvantages also. Like … Continue reading Icelandic Yogurt
Old Photo IDs
I was going through some old papers and came across a couple old photo IDs. I didn’t realize I still had my Penn State photo ID, there it was. I’m not sure when that picture was taken, but as I’m wearing sport jacket, I don’t think it was when I moved up there to start … Continue reading Old Photo IDs
