Democrats sweep City Elections

Monday, May 7, 2007

Since it’s the first Monday in May in an odd numbered year, it must be an election day, as indeed it was in the City of Groton (an entity distinct from the Town of Groton, for those of you unschooled in the Byzantine world of Groton politics). Dennis Popp was re-elected to his fifth term […]

More housekeeping

Monday, May 7, 2007

I have installed a smam blocker on the comments. As I understand it, anyone with Java installed on their browser will not notice anything. If you don’t have Java, you will have to type a number into a text box before posting a comment.

Wednesday, April 25, 2007

This new blog site, besides being far easier to manage than I thought (though I’m still working out the bugs) allows for other contributors to easily log on and put up stuff of their own. So far I’ve got at least one person who has expressed a willingness to contribute, but so far nothing concrete. […]

Spring Flowers

Monday, April 23, 2007

Still having a bit of trouble posting pictures. They tend to get distorted on the homepage, but appear to do better on the archive pages. I’m going to look around for a plugin to manage them better. Anyway, by way of experiment, here are a couple of pictures of our daffodils, which have finally arrived […]

The swallows return

Sunday, April 22, 2007

We live in an old farm house that was built in 1791. It was originally a large farm, and at some point was apparently a working quarry, from which granite was shipped to NYC. At some point, after the granite quarry was probably a distant memory, and much of the original land had been sold […]
