Defying Logic at Mount Defiance, New York
Tell the truth, who hasn’t ignored good advice at some point in their life, only to regret it later? Such was the case with Mount Defiance, with its perfect view of Fort Ticonderoga. After the Americans took control of Fort Ticonderoga from the British during the American Revolution, Deputy Adjutant General John Trumbull felt that […]
Ticonderoga: Asa’s Version
In the early morning of May 10, 1775, less than a month after the Battle of Lexington and Concord, a militia of determined colonists surprised the small group of British troops garrisoned at Fort Ticonderoga, in New York. This first offensive win was a “major moral and material victory,” in the early days of the […]
From Follies to Fans: Dogs of the Founders
On this Throwback Thursday, let’s take a stroll down memory lane all the way back to John Adams, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. Oh sure they are remembered for their work founding this country. But sadly their role as dog owners is somewhat forgotten. A fact that Angel Chuck Billy wanted to change! Love Me, […]
Picture Perfect Portal Phenomenon Proof
Sometimes I find it difficult to juggle my career as an up and coming rock star, with my obligation to continue my brother’s important research as a dog ufologist. However, other times, as luck would have it, both worlds collide. Case in point, recently I was at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire to see if the […]
A Tale of Two Forts, Crown Point, New York
Join me for a tale of two forts at Crown Point State Historic Site in New York. As mentioned in my earlier post about Lake George, control of the waterways was vital in the early history of this region. At Crown Point, Lake Champlain is at its narrowest, at just a quarter mile in width, […]
Be Neighborly with Fireworks for Dogs’ Sake
And so it begins, you hear a loud bang, maybe notice lights falling from the sky, and the air suddenly smells different. Your fight or flight instincts kick in. This is how many dogs respond to fireworks. It is also why sadly more dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day […]
Use the Good Dishes
Editor’s Note: This post was written by Chuck Billy back in November. At the time, rather than share it on the one year anniversary of the passing of Mom’s Uncle, he decided to hold onto it for a New Year’s resolution. Then Chuck Billy suddenly left us in December to be with our Great Uncle. […]
Halfway to Santa at the 45th Parallel
Woo Hoo! We’re halfway there! Everyone knows that today, June 25th, marks the halfway point to Christmas! In just a mere 183 days Santa will be coming to visit! But did you know that the 45th Parallel marks the halfway point between the Equator and the North Pole, where Santa lives? And that the 45th […]
Eye’s Heading in the Right Direction
AWESOME NEWS! I had the followup for my ER visit with my ophthalmologist, and he said, “Asa’s reevaluation today showed excellent resolution of the retinal hemorrhage!” In fact, the hemorrhage that was detected at my last scheduled appointment with him in March is now reduced to a “fine ribbon,” and there is no sign of […]
Pivotal Role in History at Lake George Village, New York
The Village of Lake George, in New York, is known for its restaurants, stores, steamboat cruises, and even parasailing. But did you know it also played a pivotal role during the early history of the United States? That’s why during our visit, we picked up a map at the visitor center of “The Colonial Wars […]
