Today marks the second time I’ve encountered an Ohio native who wants to shout their love of the Buckeye State from the rooftops.
But let me tell you about the first.
They’re from Ohio

Bring Bergdahl home
An American prisoner of war in Afghanistan turned 27 last month.
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl of Idaho went missing in 2009 and has since been declared a POW.
He was 23-years-old at the time of his disappearance and his story has gone largely unnoticed.
International visitors
The most incredible aspect about blogging is the audience one is able to reach.
When I began this blog a year ago the contents were mostly relegated to people I knew in Ohio. More narrowly, the posts were usually only read by people in Lorain or Cuyahoga counties.
When I view my statistics now I see a small trend emerging – I have readers in Finland, Singapore, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Hungary, Israel, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
Hiking Dog Mountain
Yesterday we hiked Dog Mountain in Washington.
Located on the north side of the Columbia River Gorge, the mountain is nine miles east of Stevenson and reaches an elevation of 2,949 feet.
The incline is rather steep the entire way, but once the summit is reached it is well worth it, offering a fantastic view of the Columbia River Gorge. On a clear day Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams are also visible.
The only safe place to live
As the world around us spirals into an increasingly chaotic place, filled with extremists on both sides of the spectrum, one may wonder if there is anywhere safe to live.
Well I’m here to tell you there just might be a solution to all the madness.
