History’s Cuyahoga River Fires Turned The Page Late In 2025
The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught fire some 13 times. The first time was in 1868; the last was in 1969. The largest fire on the river, in 1952, damaged boats, a city bridge, and a riverfront office building to the tune of $1 million ($12M today).
The river itself is a strange one. How many rivers head out flowing south before they make a wide U-turn and flow north? This strange course resulted from the advance and retreat of ice sheets during the last ice age. Debris Read More

I like it that some of my neighbors still have Christmas lights up. This is, after all, the Season of Epiphany, the season of light in Christian tradition. Maybe the neighbors are still celebrating the gift of the Christ Child, or they just like offering light against the darkness, a gift for our neighborhood. There is something to be said for celebrating, like our ancient forbears, that the sun shines longer Read More

Fr. Glenn: Washing Windows
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
So, here’s a recent headline in the Albuquerque Journal: “Trump labels New Mexico elections ‘corrupt.’” Well, maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. But what’s the best way to find out, give assurance to doubters and perhaps prove him (or any other skeptic) wrong about that or any similar thing? Not by mere rhetorical rebuttal, but by opening wide the doors and making accusers prove it … or not. Similarly with the recent fraud accusations in Minnesota and elsewhere. Or Pentagon audits. Or White House renovations. Etc.
After all, public trust is on the line, and as we see in the vast Read More
