Silvia went to the The Great Escape and came back back offended.

Jim and Robin tried the Mountain Brew Ice beer from Stewart's.

Drew went glamping.

A cupcake at Sweet Temptations had Albany Jane thinking that maybe cupcakes don't need icing.

CAPow had a disappointing diner breakfast.

Steve had a great calamari dish at McGuire's.

Jerry had to file an appeal at the Judge's Inn in Troy.

Jackie came across some burgeoning gentians (they're beautiful).

One of Kristi's readers asked about finding a good contractor for a new patio.

Daniel B's tale of Smalbany.

If anyone asks, Rob and Carey ate the cookies at the Hannaford.

Rebecca got a dispensation on the no-electronics rule at Virgil's.

Bob wondered whether his $100 text book qualified as a wound.

And Rob has what may be the Capital Region's luckiest fish.

Wow! On behalf of obscure indie-bloggers everywhere, thanks for the link!

Thanks for the shout-out, AOA!

Thanks for the link guys!

While searching for a good diner breakfast near downtown Albany, we discovered Johnny B's Glenmont diner, not too far from the end of 787. The food is good and the people are so friendly.

What a surprise to be linked by such a great site! Thanks. I'm glad you like to come along on my nature adventures.

[C]ommon sense tells me (yes, I know one is on dangerous ground when invoking common sense) there's room for consensus here. Or at least compromise. Although something tells me the city won't back off its regulation against live chickens performing in those stand-up comedy showcases. I guess the city has this thing about chickens.
