Last year, the Village Christmas Bazaar went online, and this year it returns in online format. The store is through the website Square, which takes about 3% of the transaction as a fee. The offerings are similar: aprons and…
Canadian Television
As we prepared to get back to Trego, one of the things we anticipated was getting Canadian TV channels again. It had been about a quarter-century since we enjoyed that particular form of entertainment – so we bought a special, long range antenna to bring them in.

Much of the law on firearms accessibility is listed in dates and names. Miller commemorates a bad man, whose poor marksmanship led to his need for a sawed off shotgun, and a court decision that short-barreled shotguns weren’t suitable for military use. On the other hand, Heller’s name is immortalized in the court case that restored the second amendment after Miller took it away. “The court ruled that the District of Columbia must give Heller a license to possess a handgun inside his home. In the process, the court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to bear…
