Wonderful snippet of a well-lived life. My hope is Martin or Emilio will one day do a film,not unlike the El Camino film, about Ralph Delaney, a local saint from Cleveland(Dying For Love share.google/Ua4iNwzd2C47...). I know Martin had a fond association w/Ralph. More people need to learn about him.

Had male and female hummingbirds visit the feeder at our cabin near Leesville Lake, Ohio. Not super pictures, but they were great to watch in person. Even got to see a couple of the male swoops as it tried to get the female's attention. #birds

Saw a couple of Eastern Towhees yesterday near Leesville Lake in Ohio yesterday. One seemed to look pretty elegant singing. The other ... well ... I can't believe it can open its mout

So many beautiful "common" birds@ the cabin. A ruby-throated hummingbird has been harassing me for being close to its feeder(there are a few other feeders), but the cardinals, nuthatches, wrens, chickadees, red-bellied, titmouse, blue jay, wood thrush, & crows(a personal fav) all bring joy & beauty!

I was a witness! Wish we could have gotten a picture. Guess this means we need to go to Culver's for ice cream more often.

Congratulations! 🎉👏🏻⚾

As I walked in the Middleburg Heights parade yesterday, along w/a bunch of a teachers, I was touched by how excited so many kids were to see their teachers out there throwing candy. Wonderful interactions. I found great joy in seeing former students & athletes along the route. I am a fortunate man.

And who protected all of these criminals...John Husted who is running for US Senate from #Ohio. Vote for @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social, Ohio!!!! www.cleveland.com/news/2026/06... #FirstEnergy #HB6

...sigh... Isn't this the sad truth?!

Juvenile kestrels surprised by a butterfly. Original post

The Buoys declined their invitation to the Freedom 250 festival. Instead, they'll be playing @ the annual Timothy BBQ Festival at the Seneca Caverns in Bellevue, OH.

After checking with the K-Tel management team, both Boxcar Willie & Slim Whitman declined invitations to perform @ the Freedom 250 concert. They cited a conflict with the annual Strawberry Pie Week @ the Valley View(OH) Big Boy restaurant.

The Schmenge Brothers have declined their invitation to play @ the America 250 event, citing a previous commitment to the Halupki Festival(cabbage rolls) in Marblehead, Ohio.

BREAKING: The Archies, as well as Josie & the Pussycats, have withdrawn from the Freedom 250 Celebration.

You're probably wondering where the video is... For some reason I can't get it upload. Here are a couple screenshots.

A friend caught this bird on camera just south of Cleveland, Ohio, today. Anyone have any idea what it might be? #birds @skwinnicki.bsky.social @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

Is it just me, but is there really room for Arias when he's healthy? I'm really liking where we are. #guardsball

Hey #guardsball friends. Is anyone else having a problem lately with losing connection at the end of a commercial break while streaming Guards TV through MLB?

Perfect. ⚾⚾⚾

Saw a bunch of stretch limos and cars from the Ritz near the airport earlier. Must be higher priced ticket holders coming to #LetEmKnow

A couple of pictures from the Cleveland Nature Preserve today. Very cool little speck of nature in the city. We also saw some four-legged friends along the way. #birds #TenMinMerlin #TenMinuteMerlin

"Wow. OK.” #PopeLeoXIV

One more #birds identification question. Here are two pictures of the same bird from today. The lack of sun doesn't help. It's hard to tell, but that is a little patch of yellow on the wing. #birdingOH

Today's #TenMinMerlin #TenMinuteMerlin in Carroll County, OH, led me to these two pictures. The scarlet tanager was a treat for me. #birds

Can someone help identify this pair of #birds? They didn't seem to match anything during my #TenMinuteMerlin but they weren't making any noise either. They were just sitting on a log soaking up the sun. #TenMinMerlin

Impactful advertising.

I've enjoyed #TenMinuteMerlin at home but tried it near the Rocky River Nature Center today. Merlin heard 14 birds in 12 mins. The only birds I saw were swallows which were too quiet for Merlin to pick up. But it was wonderful to be out there and hear the birds and enjoy the fresh air!

Hey, Ohio! Get out there and vote today!

@smackbrl.bsky.social & I visited Pierogi House on Pearl in Parma Hts for our 44th anniversary (!!). As a maker of pierogi, I was impressed. Perfect dough, tremendous filling(potato & cheddar), & cooked correctly. The chicken schnitzel sandwich was massive & delicious. A lovely meal!(we'll be back!)

Oh, Smith, Smith, Smith. Too much drama. We need a closer so very badly. #guardsball

C'mon Ohio! Get out there and vote!

Sit with that for a moment... everyone named is still morally bankrupt... Sadly, there are STILL millions of folks who refuse to see the evil..hear the evil & speak out against the evil. 🙈🙉🙊

Just a reminder-In Ohio, we voted for fair districts and won. The Ohio gop dragged their feet and ran out the clock, even defying the OH SC to redraw the maps. They were never held in contempt keeping us gerrymandered. So, even when the PEOPLE vote, republicans still find ways to cheat. #virginia

I voted right there with you. Ohio is a disaster right now. We need to work really hard this election season. VOTE Ohio!

Taken together, these four features can create a trancelike state that can keep us stuck on social media apps or video games for hours. Children are particularly vulnerable. n.pr/4mH6i6s
