My recollection, which might be completely wrong, was that it involved an NCSU poster that had something about St. Augustine in his/her/its name. Whether its was the college in Raleigh or the city in Florida, I don't know. My recollection of the actual event that resulted in the ban was that...

A hard copy newsletter about UNC sports of which Dennis Wuycik was the publisher. Was a great pre-internet way to keep-up with UNC sports. Wuycik and Dean Smith had a falling out over it when "The Poop Sheet" started accepting ads from gambling houses. ETA: I subscribed back when I was in the...

While my subscription lapsed a while back, does anyone have an idea where "The Poop Sheet" will end up?

WOW! Tesla sales must be really taking a nose-dive.

I've never seen a shot of a bee that I didn't like. This one continues that tradition. That you can see the color of the grass through the bee's wing is a feature I especially like.

I piece of decorative glass we recently mounted on our backporch railing. I like this shot with the leaf hanging over the top of glass as if it were one of those portals to another place/dimension so popular in science fiction shows/movies.

Snapping Turtle in my front yard on a very hot and dry day. Had to figure out a way to get him to my back yard, under the trees, and near the stream, all while retaining all ten of my digits. Eventually got him on a shovel and got him to a cool, shady spot, near the creek.

Good idea! However the set I was looking was from a couple of years ago and all were taken within the same two week period. And I didn't recall when in the trip she took the photo and this was one of her "girls only" trips.

Great Barcelona photo. I am certain that my wife has taken a near identical photo. But when my wife takes photos, that's all she does. And with digital photograpghy, she figures the more the better. And she doesn't cull out any of the duplicates. She never changes the numeric name the...

John Rogers (blog post March 19, 2009): "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted...

What kind of rehab? Would it involve hiking and camping in a National Park? Would it involve hiking and camping in a beautiful and reasonably flat National Park? Would it involve hiking and camping in a beautiful and reasonably flat National Park in the company of beautiful young women who...

I agree with all that you write, but the whole thing about St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago publicly lusting after his own daughter on The Howard Stern Show: a) would have crippled/destroyed the political career of almost anyone else and 2) really speaks volumes about the secret, unspoken desires of...
