I just posted the following review on Google Maps, regarding my experience today with Dick & Bert’s Hometown Diner on Main Street in Canastota, NY: More »
From Wikipedia
Tonight I was checking a detail about the Poughkeepsie Bridge on Wikipedia while writing a post on a railroad message board I check on a semi-regular basis. And I found, according to Wikipedia, today is the 35th anniversary of the big fire that took the bridge out of service for good… for trains, anyway. More »
What the hell is the deal with razor blade “cartridges” costing so much money? Seriously! The Gillette Fusion Power Cartridges pictured at left, a box of eight, retail for $23.99 at Walgreens (apparently the only retailer brave enough to post its prices online). What justifies that outrageous cost?? More »
This is the last posting to do with the Montréal trip, I promise! Anyone who’s actually read my posts knows that I’ve often used this website as a place to vent when I had something to complain about. But this post, which I knew I’d be writing when I took the accompanying picture, is praise for one of those increasingly rare moments of good customer service. More »
If you live in New York State, chances are good you’ve seen this ad — it’s been airing since 2007. Lately, the ad has been surfacing again… but did you notice the same weird thing about it that I did?

Hey, anyone remember back in 2005 when the New York State Thruway said it was going to start removing some of the greasy fast food joints from its service areas to make way for healthier and/or more upscale eateries? About three and a half years later, I’m still waiting to see the changes. In the meantime, I’ve got some alternative options just off the highway. More »
Just joined Twitter – you can follow me at http://twitter.com/pnaw10 if you wish. But don’t expect much immediately… I’m trying to decide exactly how I want to use it. Seems like it’s just redundant to posting status updates on Facebook. I may not do too much “tweeting” until I can see how Twitter is different. (I’m also a little curious about why there’s such a fascination with what people are doing at every moment of the day.)
Rant: No Outdoor Syracuse Crunch Game
The Onondaga County Legislature is a bunch of morons (most of them, not all of them) for killing the idea of an outdoor AHL game at Syracuse’s Alliance Bank Stadium. There are so many reasons why these people were just plain stupid in their actions, I don’t even know where to begin. More »
