More cowbell? Or less?

Which do you want? Less? Or more? Here at Medical Examiner world headquarters, we’re always looking for advertisers.

Time for a Hump Day Hiatus

If this video says anything, it’s what a spectacular planet we live on. And beyond that, what an awe-inspiring universe too – at least the tiny fraction of it that can be seen with the naked eye.

Ride, Clyde

We present this very pleasant and artistic little excursion in the hopes that you – yes, you – will see it (so far so good) and be inspired to visit one of the excellent venues in our area for a bike ride.
