This is what happens when I run out of potentially interesting things to write.
Here are some photos I took of various things in various places, and a couple I didn’t take. Just so you know.
Fire Ant Flickers (#7)
I needed to clear a few browser tabs. Sorry about that.
Wherein I learn I need better photographic equipment and the brain to use it. Also, a transparent TV is an oxymoron, but tell that to the Koreans. And, finally, a tip for getting out of a situation that you’ll swear wasn’t your fault.
“He’s Ringo, Yes?” — A dissenting opinion
We're all about open discourse here at the Gazette. (I hope I don't live to regret it.)
My good friend Sam took exception to my review of Ringo’s new album, “Look Up.” I invited him to present his assessment, and I was somewhat surprised, but absolutely pleased that he agreed to do so.

A quick lookback at 2024 through the lenses of my cameras.
For to us a child is born…
...to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
My wish for each of you this Christmas is that you’ll experience the joy and peace that Jesus freely offers. May God richly bless you and your family!
Venom, anyone? (Part 2)
Nobody wants to be injected with venom, right? But some components of venom could be life saving.
Part 2 of this limited series on venom focuses on resources that are helpful in case of snake bites. Could save your life, or that of your pet.
Venom, anyone? (Part 1)
A scholarly and frequently irreverent survey of the natural dangers that confront the unwary or overconfident
What’s the deal with venom, anyway? And why is the whole world apparently out to get us humans?
