Once again, the coming week in TIMESLand will be filled with hot days and balmy nights. There is only a little rain in the forecasts, and no severe storms are predicted. The weather professionals are talking highs of 90 on some of the days (with none below 80), and at least a week where nighttime temperatures do not drop below 60. No sweatshirts required for evening campfires. Will be humid, too, so fire up the grill for outdoor cooking, keep that air conditioner blowing, drink lots of water, and get to one...

From My WindowIssue Date: July 8, 2020 Strawberry Fields Forever
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,

Daytime highs in the low 90s, and balmy night time temperatures near 70 may send some folks scurrying for air conditioning, but others will be heading for some fun in and on the waters with which our corner of the world is blessed.

From My WindowIssue Date: July 1, 2020 Twinkies
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
Once a week I do a five hour round-trip drive. During these five hours alone I think about all kinds of things, and recently, Twinkies popped into my mind.
"Twinkies" sounds like a crude or rude Facebook term for people who believe something or other " but what I mean is a packaged sweet or dessert that could be found in a prominent location at any grocery or five and dime when I was young. It can be described as "golden sponge cake in an elongated shape, with a cre...
