"Let me tell you, on a day like this, driving on the Northway is no walk in the park."
We may revise our banner a bit, and are considering having a contest in which you the reader might vote on the final selection. This seems like a reasonably liberal way in which you might participate in our online community. We will have a parallel contest in which you the reader help us decide if we will be paying the logo designers for their efforts.
We are shocked! We have been made aware of a new radio station in the Capital District that is apparently an expensive and elaborate parody of our blog.
We have long considered that the four corners of our tri-city area have suffered a hurly-burly reputation in regard to its rough-and-tumble attitude toward slash-and-burn politics.
Our little blog is an attempt to extrude a gossamer rope of elegance from this body politic. We four chums plan to sprinkle insights about our community, towns and state with delicate and circumspect prose using the sensibilities most prominent in our respective demeanors.
We hope you find our blog a welcome and embracing respite. Thank you all!
It has, however, come to our attention that a local radio station has begun to engage in a cruel and thuggish parody of our blog, pandering to the regrettably venal and less-developed aspects of human nature. It is our sincere hope the less clever among us understand these two exercises in electronic media are in no way related.
