We all listen to the radio. Spending many hours in our cars going to and from work or shopping, the radio is our constant companion. We check it for news, talk shows, sports updates, weather reports and the music genre of choice. But Boomers look back fondly to Golden Age of Radio, when a radio was truly the center of our lives. We recall our younger days, waking to radio programs and music. … [Read more...]
Jay Walking
Some of the most entertaining birds in our back yard are the blue jays. Jays often get bad press because they will bust up nests of other birds. They are very opportunistic and will kill baby birds and eat other bird eggs if given the chance. But they are one of the smartest birds on the planet and I enjoy sharing my back yard with a small, resident flock. Recently, I was in the backyard … [Read more...]
Deer Nuggets
Deer season is fully underway and hunters are reporting better results than last year, though the jury is still out on the final harvest numbers. Venison, of course, is especially healthy meat, leaner by far than commercial beef. It is delicious when cooked properly, but not so much when overcooked or under seasoned. Sherman T. Shiffllett, a CvilleBuzz contributor, offers this recipe as a … [Read more...]

While Shepherds Watched
A 4-part short story by Jim Brewer Seeking Pasture Near Bethlehem The sheep had gone easily into the fold that evening. Young Amos was pleased that he had not been called on to round up any stragglers. Rather, the flock of 98 was safely within the confines of the corral made of stones from the fields, and erected just north of the town of Bethlehem, known to the … [Read more...]
Flat Cranking the Potomac
Capt. Steve Chaconas Colder nights and shorter days will cool the Potomac River. Depth and speed are the keys. It’s time to slow down. Water temperature is falling from the low 50s this week. A dry week ahead with a chilly start on Monday, highs only in the upper 40s warming up to the mid 60s by the weekend. Friday, the low will be in the mid 40s.

Big Stripers On the Way
Dr. Julie Ball As anglers keep an eye on the weather for fishable openings, the saltwater temperatures continue to cool, encouraging the fall bite to transform into a more winter-like trend. No one is anticipating the onset of the winter fishery more than local striped bass enthusiasts. While Bay anglers are now content with rockfish ranging from school-sized up to nearly 40-inches, the real … [Read more...]
Two Turtle Doves
On the second day of Christmas somebody’s true love gave a gift of Two Turtle Doves. Personally, I’d rather have a gift certificate to Chili’s, but to each his own. True turtle doves are European natives. A migratory species, they spend their summers across Europe and the Middle East while wintering in southern Africa. We don’t have turtle doves in the states. What some call turtle doves are … [Read more...]
Mr. Faucet Saves the Day
When it rains, it pours. At least I find that true when things go wrong around the house. In the past few months, our refrigerator died, our wall oven died, our stove top was on life support and our dishwasher was placed on extended leave. After replacing all of the above, we noticed a wet spot on the ceiling of the downstairs bath. A leak! That’s never good and company is coming for Thanksgiving! … [Read more...]
Great Boomer Toys
Countless Boomers will flock to the stores this month to buy what they hope will be welcomed toys for their grandkids, but there was a time when Boomer children also received great toys and gifts for Christmas. Toys were simpler back then, but no less appreciated. There were no computers or electronic games back then, nor cell phones with cameras or IPods. Bikes were overwhelming favorites … [Read more...]
