Kudos for Canal Trail System

Monday, September 19th, 2011

I live in a small community – our county population is less than 20K.  Despite our slight numbers, the community is an enjoyable place to live, with some lovely jewels that are not so “hidden.”  One recent visitor posted a nice review of the Wabash and Erie Canal trails.

Webify Me, Mozilla

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

OK, I don’t usually play around with web-based toys and applications, but it was a rough morning with back-to-back phone calls and emails, and I needed a 5 minute break before going back to the salt mines.  Firefox told me that it wanted to update, and this is what happened.  Mozilla’s new Firefox includes a [...]

iPad + Velcro = wow

Noah and the Ark – V.2011

Monday, June 20th, 2011

A fair amount of my practice involves land use planning and zoning. Our County Planning Director sent this to me, and it seems too good not to share:
In the year 2011, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in America and said: “Once again, the earth has become wicked and [...]

Citizenship Test

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Newsweek posted 20 questions from the US Citizenship Test and the results of a poll where US Citizens were asked questions taken from that test.  Newsweek presents the excerpts quiz-style, including the percent of people in the poll who answered correctly (or incorrectly).
How will you do?  (I missed one.)
