When I was young I always thought that I did not belong in a small town, and when I grew up I’d live in a big city, where everything was happening. I got my chance in my 20’s to move to Boston and work in the city for a couple of years – I hated…

Hello, and welcome to another special edition of the PB Podcast. Today we travel back in time to 1975 – 40 years ago. Does that seem like a long time to you? When I was born, 40 years ago was the end of World War I – seems like a longer amount of time to…

Rainy Saturday, thunderstorm Sunday, then nice during the week when I’ll be inside my office. And we’ll probably press repeat next weekend. We’re starting the day with a thick fog, so it’ll be humid throughout the day that will lead into the thunderstorms. Time to study our plans for the day and see what we…

Today’s podcast…

Hi, I’m not sure how this will work – it may go up late, as I am not home this Sunday morning. We’ll see if I can sneak this up on time. I’ve been looking at my website (something I don’t do a lot) and have made some changes to it. The page design is…

Today I will start posting some of my photographs that I’ve taken through the years. Today’s is a hummingbird I took in 2014 at Indian Canyons of the Agua Caliente band of Cahuilla Indians in Palm Springs, California. There are many desert and mountain trails to hike there, and they have hummingbird feeders at the…

On Saturday I picked up the mail and received an invitation to “Celebrate the Good Life in the South.” It was a subscription request for a magazine called Garden & Gun. Why is it called Garden & Gun? There used to be a 1970’s nightclub in Charleston, SC called the Garden & Gun Club that…
