On the Road
I'm writing this from a food court within a couple of hundred yards of Niagara Falls. I think you should visit the Falls at least once every 35-40 years.If you ever visit the Buffalo are avoid Budget Inn. Not good.For those of you on praying ground, I would appreciate your prayers for Sunday morning. I'll be speaking at the 11:30AM service of Niagara Reformed Presbyterian Church. 10 Indian Trail, Rd (corner of Sheridan Drive) Williamsville, NY. If you're in the area, drop in.The congregation is small, so you will surely not get lost in the crowd.

This generally leads to some ill-conceived policies and programs that bring his popularity crashing down around him.When you have a reputation -- whether earned or imagined -- it's easy to "read the press releases" and believe you can do no wrong.

Gunfight in the Wild, Wild Midwest
Remember how I always point out that the orcs have a better record of hits than the police in gunfights? Well, a big shootout in Toledo, Ohio provides the exception that proves the rule.No idea how the fight began, but I'm guessing someone's "honor" got offended.
