Today is the day for everyone who waited for the sixth annual Patterson Park Brewfest here in Baltimore, from 11:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Many years ago, during the insane summer heat in our town, people who lived near this park would haul their blankets out and sleep beneath the stars there, rather than spend the night in the brick rowhouses than sort of became ovens in summer. Who knows, maybe people will want to sleep there tonight!
If you're decorating for the holidays already, don't forget to water your silver aluminum tree, so it doesn't dry out.
There's nothing like the 30-year-old memories I enjoy, streaming "NYPD Blue" on Hulu. What stories, what visuals, and what a cast! David Caruso, Dennis Franz, Amy Brenneman, James McDaniel, Sherry Stringfield, and Nicholas Turturro.
Don't be so distracted by the beautiful fall foliage on the Kancamagus Highway in Lincoln, New Hampshire, that you miss the slightly hairy hairpin turn!
This is a real caterpillar on Sanibel Island, Florida. not an inflatable toy. Still...it looks like one!
Did you know there were pink pineapples on this earth?
Looks like the young kangaroo was acting and was sent to its room! Whatever, they keep things hopping down there.
Dog owners tell me they can reason with their pooches. As a cat man myself, I wouldn't even try.
Slugging first baseman Frank Howard, of the old Washington Senators, hit many a ball a mighty long way. He launched this one way up high in the cheap seats at RFK Stadium. They painted the seat white to commemorate Frank's long homerun, which he hit off a pitcher who actually had a surgery named for him. Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction is better known as Tommy John surgery.
Baltimore's own Chick Webb suffered from a chronic physical deformity caused by falling down a flight of stairs at the family home in East Baltimore. The mishap left him with limited use of his legs and shoulders, but he could play the drums and lead a band and he became one of the leading swing bandleaders in the 1930s. I'm enjoying a new biography of Chick right now.
