I hate to be cliché, but, Wow! Time does fly. And, sticking with clichés, it seems like yesterday that I wrote my first article for The Waitsburg Times. It’s been a very full year, and I can now say I’ve experienced all four seasons here. My first winter was brutal. Everyone was apologetic because we were experiencing the most snow and the coldest winter in 15 years. Lucky me, what an introduction to my new home. Good heaters, gloves, great new friends, and a little scotch, I survived. That firs...
It isn’t surprising in the least that Adobe has chosen to forgo its annual Adobe MAX event in person and take the whole experience online. The novel coronavirus has made virtually everything...virtual to round out 2020. What’s exciting and surprising is the fact that they’ve made the entire event free for all. (A full conference pass was $1,295 in 2019, not including travel and hotel accommodations.) MAX is Adobe’s showcase of talent and technology, including keynote sessions, labs, musical perf...
One of my favorite comics features a genial mutt named Satchel. A recurring theme involves his housemate and nemesis, an arrogant siamese cat named Bucky, who encourages Satchel to eat (or at least swallow) anything conveniently at hand, from roadkill to small electronic appliances. The joke is that Satchel, and by extension all dogs, will give it a try, whatever the consequences. As is often the case with Cookie, her dietary choices are much more sophisticated than that. There are only a few...

I didn't make this and I'm not sure I will because I'd probably eat the whole thing. Or I might make it and put it in baggies to give away, if there is enough left over to do so. I think one could use apple pie spice mix as well. I'm thinking most anything could be added or subtracted. The Harvest Mix Candy is the candy corn, pumpkin candies that are so sweet, but taste good about this time of year. INGREDIENTS: 4 c. Rice Chex cereal 3 c. mini pretzel twists 3 c. Bugles 1 c. dry roasted peanuts ½ Reese's candies ½ c. M & M c...
