The Buzzz!!

A Two Way Street
I often write about the way that elected officials should treat the public when they appear before them and I have made no bones about the fact that sometimes our elected officials are less than professional with the public. It is a two way street, however, and this week I was reminded that sometimes it […]
Once In A Blue Moon
The moon this week was really lovely and I was wondering, since it was so large and orange, if it was a harvest moon? No, last week’s moon was a blue moon or the second full moon of the month. The harvest moon is the first full moon closest to the autumn equinox. The autumn […]

Bad Oreos?
I heard someone say this week that Oreos dipped in white chocolate were voted the worst food for your health. I did not have a vote in this poll, and I find the results to be pure poppycock. No matter what criteria you use, I can find something worse like, for instance, puffer fish. Oreos […]
