Last week's Weekend Edition of the Wall Street Journal had a number of articles that I just could not believe. See if you don't agree that they all add up a big pile of excrement. Starting in the Review section, the cover story was about "The Once and Future Drug War", by James Marson, Julie …
This week, I'll be starting at home, to capture some interesting objects around me. The first one is an empty bottle. Now, the bottle itself is unremarkable, a simple screw-top container. It's the labels on the bottle, which describe the contents, that make it interesting. A few years ago, a coworker of my husband came …

Everyone should be aware of the two huge issues in the news lately. One is the cascade of "worker shortages" everywhere, from local bars and restaurants to big airlines, delivery services, and trucking lines. Everyone is having trouble hiring enough workers, now that things are opening up everywhere after government closures of businesses due to …
I learned a long time ago to pay attention to even the ordinary objects around me, which can become extraordinary if you photograph them the right way. Even a russet potato looks interesting, with the brightly-colored background. When Hubby and I were in Michigan last month, we had meals in a big dining-room, with many …
