Bad news. The past 2nd Trump term has seemed to me to have been like being in the trenches during a mortar barrage. Some hit at a distance and you count yourself lucky. Some hit nearby and you know where it hit. Some land on someone you know and wounds or kills them. You just wonder if one had has our name on it.

I am a Pennsylvanian and a registered Democrat. I believe that John Fetterman represents me and my views better than some strictly party-line senator would. I respect his independence of conscience and wish we saw more of it in our government.

We enjoyed a Rosh Hashanah dinner last night. The home-baked challah was delicious, as was all of the meal.

This article reminded me of Elena from the Old Coffee Room.

I remember meeting Hugh Sung at a piano party hosted by Rich Galassini at Cunningham Piano a number of years ago. I saw he was playing a Cunningham piano in the video.

Some people are beyond stupid and ignorant.

There have not been many public figures in our society who were so universally respected and admired. Truly a remarkable person.
I've read multiple remembrances and tributes in various online locations since the news of her death was announced. What most struck me was the nearly total absence of any negative comments in all those places. It seems that almost everyone loved her.

Happy birthday, Ron.

Happy anniversary to the happy couple.

It's probably fortunate they became friends rather than lovers.

Very glad to hear that you dodged that bullet. Did you do anything fun or pleasurable while you were in Philadelphia?

Happy birthday, Dol. Have you found any new board games you'd recommend?

I think Larry's visit was more than a coincidence. I do believe that there are miracles in this world. We all can benefit from a little more encouragement.

As a long-time Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I couldn't agree any more with Arthur Brook's observations in the opinion piece.
I think the rehabilitation of this region after the massive deindustrializtion of the 1970s owes at least a partial debt of gratitude to the Steelers four Super Bowl wins over that decade.

Lots of Greek food festivals in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. I usually enjoy going to at least the one nearest me.
Has anyone noticed how many diners are owned and run by Greeks?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I sometimes think of people I knew and have met on the various forums over the years. Then, I wonder where many of them are now.

People sure are clever. And dishonest.

That screw is very subtle. I don't think I would spot it. The best advice was in the comments to be sure the pump resets after you hang up the nozzle.
My wife got skimmed at a gas station a few years ago. She still had her receipt and was able to secure restitution from the bank, but it took awhile because she had used her debit card. Now she only uses a credit card at non-bank ATMs and other payment locations.
