When the summer entertaining season draws to a close, homeowners need to ensure their outdoor living areas can handle weather that’s right around the corner.

Home improvement projects run the gamut from complex undertakings like room additions to simpler renovations like a new front door.

Perhaps only Wes Anderson would have the audacity to cast Bill Murray as God. He’s also among the few people who could pull it off — without seeming blasphemous or just plain silly.

OK, I’ll admit it; I absolutely enjoy fishing, especially when there is a lot of catching going on while I’m in the process of fishing.

The defending 2024 league champions got off to a good start, holding first place midway through the first half
Hats off to the Williamsport Millionaires. They are off to a great start. The boys are 2-0 and will host Central Mountain later tonight. I had a chance to call my alma mater last weekend.
