Now THIS is how to do it. Next week is the Whitney, with a big, competitive, classy field of older horses -- including last year's Travers champ. .

Funny Mistake from the Funny Guy:

Jerry Seinfeld at S**C last night, expressing joy over his first-ever visit to Saratoga and S**C.

Actually: he performed at S**C previously.

Like A Boss:

That's Jerome Powell. He gets the badge. The Boss badge. Cus he is the Boss.

(It's like being handed a bar tab with somebody else's drinks on it)

'Crimes Against Humanity' is a designation that rightfully results in a death warrant on the perpetrator(s) .

It is high time for the World Court to make that designation vs the Israeli government.

(If you are not up to speed: get yourself there)

For some reason, many Saratoga politicos seem to be overly fixated on national and international affairs in this local election year. That includes some feeling the need to make position / support statements related to the GAZA mess. To them, we state:

Right Here, Right Now: if you are a candidate for local office and you disagree with the second paragraph written above, say so in this post's Comments section.

(Cue the standard "But HAMAS are bad boys, too, so ...." fallback)

Be A Goodie:

Take one or more kids to the County Fair (thru Sunday). Even if it's not your own kids. Take a stranger's kids, even (after asking the parents, of course).

One thing hasn't changed since 1841: the Fair is one of the best gigs around these here parts.

Getting ready for the Repair Cafe in Sept at the Saratoga Springs Public Library .

Got a big challenge for them:

Repair Saratoga's damaged civic reputation after the past decade+ !

No Cap Gains tax on houses?

Probably the worst "economics" idea of our time.

Well, that and the "dismantling the post-WWII global economic order thru tariffs" thing'y.

Aug 6 - 23. Now that is what one deems to be a RESIDENCY!

Seven months into this dumfukkery, and...

72% of MAGA still thinks that the nation of origin is who writes the check for tariffs.

Annual Flash Update:
Dispatch from the Greenridge Crypt

Rumors of a Flash News comeback? Another $10K in bribes (correction: incentives) might do it. Keep up the good work, fellas!

In other words: It ain't happening. But we are honored by the effort and consideration. Plus, it's pretty relaxing over here in the Flash crypt.

The truth = this very real effort to convince us to get back into the local loop says WAY more about the state of the Spa City's news & journalism landscape than if does about our stupid little Idea Factory of the past.

Not to mention: it wouldn't be pretty if we did -- and do we really want or need those kind of unpleasantries? (don't answer that)

OK. That's the yearly reach-out from Lincoln Avenue ! We DO appreciate the nostalgic sentiments that still continue to roll in, all this time later.

Here's to a healthy, productive and happy 2025 ahead.
