Backup on I-90 was sure no holiday

This is in response to the Press article by Devin Weeks on Saturday, Dec. 7 regarding the westbound I-90 lane closure at mile marker 63 on Dec. 5. I do not know if Devin Weeks is male, female, or gender neutral, and I dare not risk being politically incorrect. Can you imagine the outrage? It would be more dangerous than being stuck in the mountains, in your vehicle on a cold, dark, dangerous winter night. So, I will refer to Devin Weeks as the Staff Writer.

Some food and wine pairing tips

The idea of wine and food pairing goes back centuries. At least for Europe, it goes back that far. Wine grape varietals in the “Old World” were in fact selected and planted based on the food that is the most popular in that area. In Europe, wine is rarely viewed as an appropriate aperitif, rather it is meant to be had with food.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Natural relief for plantar fasciitis

If you’ve ever experienced plantar fasciitis, you know that the foot pain it causes can really limit you. As with all other conditions, some people only get it mildly, while others can lose quality of life. It is a common foot condition that causes pain around the heel and sometimes the bottom of the foot. It can be sharp or stabbing, or a dull achiness or burning. It occurs most often when you first arise after sitting for long periods, or arising in the morning. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs from your heels to your toes. When it becomes inflamed, it hurts. Poor fitting or poor quality shoes, overuse, poor foot mechanics especially during sports activities, weight, and structural problems can be the cause of this condition.
