A wheelie cool lineup

On the break walk from my library workplace, the lines of the bicycles available for rent by CuseCycle caught my eye. They’re available right outside the Salt Museum. If you’re looking for something to pedal down the Onondaga Lake Park path. Which I’m not.

Nice place to work, my dear daughter

When I drove east to Madison County earlier this week, I took a few minutes to stop in to say hello to my wonderful daughter Elisabeth. She said it was OK to stop in where she works in Hamilton. I didn’t want to interrupt things in the physical therapy wing by snapping any photos with…

The Princess of the Amazon brought justice to the DC Comics world, starting way back in 1941.
