Hodgepodge Lodge, or: Mixed-Up Miscellany


 

Okay, I admit it. This post has nothing with the MPT children’s program but I did discover that it has a Howard County connection. I chose that title because I don’t have much for you this morning other than scraps and bits of this and that. 

1. The Howard County Future Farmers of America has released the names of local students honored with their “3.0 Award.”


The 3.0 Award recognizes students enrolled in Agricultural Science courses who achieved a 3.0 or Greater GPA in the 2nd Quarter. 

Revealing my ignorance here: I didn’t know that HCPSS offered an Agricultural Science curriculum. I do now. 

2. I’m curious about this project by Maryland artist Art Hondros. Why Ellicott City? Why the 1940’s?



Hondros recently had an art show in Olney at the BeachKraft Gallery. That’s about all I know. Also: has anyone ever seen Tarzan and the Amazons?

3. This lead-in to an article in the Banner about a ribbon-cutting at the Lakefront annoys me. That is all.


I realize that my objection may put me in the “get off my lawn” category but, really? “Sick view”? Someone over there must have thought they were very clever, methinks.

4. This recent post on Bluesky intrigued me:

My family were "pioneers" in Columbia Md. We lived on one of the security clearance streets. Yes, they had those back in the day. Hard to believe that during my childhood that area was already integrated.

Security clearance streets? Was that really a thing?

5. Highly recommended palate cleanser for whatever ails you. Go read local blogger Mike Hartley until you begin to feel your breathing even out and your heart rate normalizing.

Thought for the day:

There are a tremendous amount of good people. I just wished they would speak out more often. - - Mike Hartley 

Got any scraps to add to my hodgepodge? Let me know.
