Red territory: Checking out the New Hampshire primary

Driving on Route 93 North this Tuesday morning, I was faced with the open road ahead of me on the way from my small town of North Reading, Massachusetts, to the even smaller town of Bethlehem, New Hampshire.

Preparing for disaster: Are you ready for the next ice storm?

Before you read any further, try an exercise. Find a piece of paper and something to write with.

$Dear Uncle Alan: A letter about fracking to a drilling company geologist$

Dear Uncle Alan,

I’m not sure if you’ll remember, but about a year ago, my dad sent you an e-mail asking you what you thought about hydrofracking, since it had been in the news for a while. You sent back a link to Debunking Gasland and a strongly-worded email that supported the work of the gas company you’d worked for in the past, that’s drilling in Pennsylvania now.

Saying goodbye to Finger Lakes locavore pioneer Debra Whiting

The Finger Lakes region, from Ithaca's eateries to the bistros sprinkled around the lakeside wine trails, has become a bit of a locavore Mecca over the last several years.
