The Saturday Blogroll Recap, August 29 2026

Yes, today's blog post was composed early in the AM ... I'm actually heading off to the New York State Fair after it's written and published, so by tomorrow I'll find out which four of my six photos made the walls of the Harriet May Mills Art Center, which of those four possibly earned ribbons, and whether my neon-colored latch hook rug garnered a ribbon as well....

“Why do you think they call it dope?”

Came across this series of film clips recently, and felt like sharing. No matter what time my little pre-teen self watched television - whether it was a Saturday morning cartoon or some TV game show or a syndicated afternoon program - there would always be some sort of anti-drug public service announcement. And this was the early 1970's, so most of these commercials laid it on THICK....

The Kodak Panoram 3A – will this work?? Pretty Please???

I have been chasing the "Buena Vista Panorama" image for AGES now. Some background. My Grandma Betty told me this story about how, when she and my Aunt Elaine visited Europe, they attended a guided tour of Rome. The tour guide spoke no English, while neither Grandma Betty nor Aunt Elaine spoke any Italian. But at some point in the tour, the guide pointed to something and said, "Buena Vista Panorama!" and both Grandma Betty and Aunt Elaine understood the concept....

Rest in peace, Dolly Parton and the Blue Note Record Shop

Two treasures were called to glory yesterday. One was a singer-songwriter and philanthropist. The other was a business who influenced my life. First, let's talk about Dolly Parton. A woman who made a career from her childhood memories and her faith and her talent, a woman who created tremendously popular songs and movies - yet still cared so much about the world around her, that she funneled her wealth into investments in vaccines and childhood literacy and every other possible endeavor....

Celebrating 17 Years of Blogging (and 63 years of life)

It's August 25, 2009, and I'm migrating my independent blog from a self-hosting site with a blogspot.com suffix to the main blogfarm of the Albany Times Union's media center. And in that move, I asked the blogfarm operator, Mike Huber, how often I should blog for the site. He said about once a day is a good average. I took that as a personal challenge....

K-Chuck Radio: Rare Pop Music from Western Australia

Clarion Records was an Australian record company that operated from 1962 to 1978, but its main success came in the mid-1960's. Formed by Martin Clarke in Perth, Western Australia, the company had their own high-quality recording and processing equipment, ensuring that their finished records sounded top-notch. And if you're a fan of beat and mod music, you can't go wrong with their catalog....

Do any of my friends live in Cincinnati, Ohio??

So ... there's an art gallery in Cincinnati. And they recently asked for a "Call for Art" for an upcoming show called "The Sweep of Time." So ... I'm feeling like I want to try this. I entered several of my images, and hoped for the best. Last Friday, I received word - one of my submissions was accepted. Specifically - this one....

The Saturday Blogroll Recap, August 22 2026

Good morning blog readers, it's Saturday and it's time for another fun day! There's plenty of action for the weekend, so make sure you spend a good part of it outdoors with some fresh air. Me? I'm going to blog about what happened last week on the personal blogroll, and we can go from there. 😀 Oh, and a note - Marc Beebe has updated his "Wandering Words" photo and lifestyle blog to a new link, "Marc Continues." Go check it out....

The “Ganef the Squirrel” Latch Hook Rug begins

Last March, I captured a cute little picture of a squirrel who stole a bird seed cake. And of course, when I capture a shot like that, I have to blog about it. Understand that cute little pictures of squirrels eating bird seed cakes can turn into an awesome image for a latch hook rug ... yep, I'm making another latch hook rug ......
