It wouldn’t do any good anyhow: for your entire life, you’ve left trails behind wherever you go, footprints and evidence of your presence and behavior. Just thinking about that might

    Your Webb critic has two favorite actresses. One — though she’s really before my time — is Golden Age golden-girl Myrna Loy.

    The tick of greatest concern in our area is the black-legged tick — often referred to as the “deer tick.” They do not exclusively feed upon deer but instead prefer to attach to small mammals such as mice and chipmunks and occasionally birds.
