Moments after Mother Nature unleashed about an inch of rain, today’s photo captures the view from Brooklyn of Lower Manhattan. To the far left is the Statue of Liberty and to the far right is the Brooklyn Bridge. I took this picture about an hour before taking this one.

Congratulations to Prince Fielder for winning his second Home Run Derby

Cano didn’t do so hot in the 2012 Home Run Derby, hitting a grand total of zero home runs. Fielder, on the other hand, won the contest after a slow start.

I don’t think I have ever watched a MLB Home Run Derby. Most years I haven’t had ESPN or I’ve been traveling overseas during the All-Star Break. Tonight I may watch my first.

Last year’s champion was Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees. He hit one during my first visit to Yankee Stadium last month. It was a historic day as the Yankees and Braves combined to tie the record for the most home runs hit at Yankee Stadium in a single game.

Will Robinson Cano be smiling again at the end of tonight's contest?

Wesley Hoseclaw arrested during Ashland’s 4th of July parade

Wesley Hoseclaw swings cat gets arrested for rape ashland fourth of july parade

While the parade was going on this past week, a couple of Ashland’s police officers were standing in front of me. A lady ran over to them and said something. They followed her and moments later they had Wesley Hoseclaw in handcuffs. Since this was right in the middle of the parade route the parade marshals held things up farther up Siskiyou Blvd. A fuller story of why this arrest took place can now be found in the Ashland Daily Tidings.
