My world is dying around me

June 6, 2009

I was coming home from a soccer registration last night and took 741 north to join up to North 75. I passed under this bridge, next to the rail road track that no longer runs and the huge holding lot that had no trucks.

And now, NCR is moving away. I feel like I am walking [...]

Extra blogging stuff pulled from my brain

January 5, 2009

I collect newspaper clippings for blog ideas. Mostly, the articles are things that sent my blood pressure over the edge or got me wondering “what if it were different” or just things that make me go “hmmmmmmmmmm..”
These clippings sit on my desk, tugging at me to write a blog post about them. But there [...]

Some things I know

December 20, 2008

I just got done speaking with an American Express rep to pay my bill. I had to call them because I missed the bill pay window between 3:00-7:00am where their web site will actually work to pay my bill.
It got to think about stuff I “know” to be true, even though other dogs swear they [...]

I am so proud to live Dayton, Ohio

December 17, 2008

In a Huffington Post article today, Steven Shehori wrote a satirical piece, claiming that 37% of Americans could not locate America on a map of the United States of America. In it, he writes a quote:
Shirley Matheson, a part-time Arby’s employee residing in Dayton, Ohio, agreed with Weiss’s assessment. “I live in the U.S.A., so [...]

How to profit from stupid and sloth

November 14, 2008

I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. So do hundreds of my neighbors and I know exactly who they are.
The WSJ gets delivered to my front door every morning by a carrier with the Dayton Daily News. About a year ago, I noticed that the mailing label in the upper right hand corner of my copy of [...]

We got bears!

September 12, 2008

I was poking around the Anchorage Daily News this evening, reading up on Palin and TrooperGate. I noticed that the newspaper had a bear sightings gallery.
Well, that certainly beats the 937pets.com that we have here at the Dayton Daily News.
Go Alaska. Go bears
Thanks AKMuckraker at MudFlats for the trip north to [...]

The real death of the Dayton Daily News

April 20, 2008

For those of you who may not know, I was with the Dayton Daily News from 1998-2002. It was perhaps the most meaningful period of my life, in which I learned how to write objectively, think independently, treasure really, really talented people around me, learned how to change the world with little more than a [...]

Clinging to my walks

April 18, 2008

I recently had the opportunity to take a ride through Red State America along Hwy 35 through southern Ohio, West Virginia and onto Interstate 64. The ride was a bit odd as I emerged from Dayton, the rich, white, mall-laden Beavercreek into the hills, holler and trailer-park homes that lined 35 for miles upon miles.
I [...]

Obama’s other America

April 13, 2008

Driving through West Virginia and Virginia on my way from Dayton to Williamsburg and this family was outside “eating” lunch at an Arby’s. By the time I had gotten to take the photo without being suspected, five kids had left the venue…. anyway, this is Obama’s “Other America” that he needs to convince to vote [...]

We’re getting a tan

April 7, 2008

Well, it is finally spring here in Dayton. Stressed frustrated and running out of time, but since the sun is now out in the afternoon, we’re starting to get a tan! Not all bad.
Rufus got a bath on Sunday morning. He is not so stinky and his fur is really shiny and soft. Sam Zell [...]

Dayton Daily News

November 16, 2006

Well, just got back from my walk and settled into DaytonDailyNews.com and noticed a “dogs in the news” photo gallery off in the right-hand column…. But NONE of these dogs had their own blog. Have we dogs not evolved?
Oooo.. look at the kitty…..

Dayton Irony

November 29, 2005

This morning, we had to drop the van off for some warranty work. It took an hour, so we went off around Riverscape, downtown, etc… As you walk through Riverscape, there are points of interest markers, detailing the exploits of Daytonians. The pop-top can, the self starter for cars, carbon paper, powered controlled flight and [...]
