Before folks sat around the TV watching American Horror Story or classic movies like The Shining and Friday the 13th, they gathered around the radio to listen to their favorite weekly programs. Many of them were comedies or dramas, just like today’s television programs, but there were also shows dedicated to the creepy crawly — that made goosebumps rise and sent shivers down the spine. It’s often said that what you can’t see is scarier than what you can, and radio programs can sweep you up and create a whole spooky world in your imagination.

Sorry, New Yorker, Thoreau is more relevant than ever
Kathryn Schulz recently suggested that Henry David Thoreau and his most famous book, “Walden,” are not worth their place as classics of American philosophy and writing. In her article in The New Yorker (“Pond Scum: Henry David Thoreau’s Moral Myopia”), she made some well-worn, if sometimes misleading, points — namely that Thoreau was conceited, contradictory, hypocritical, and perhaps worst of all in Schulz’s eyes, he did not like people or society. She pokes holes in the modern “myths” of Thoreau and “Walden,” which don’t match historical reality. Her article makes for a fun read, but it is decidedly one-sided.

Tonight we will see a full moon and the name for the October moon is called a Hunter's Moon. It got it's name from Native American tribes and signaled the time to go hunting and prepare for the long winter. This will also signal the start of the annual rut for the whitetail deer. If you’re driving in the country or in wooded areas, heads up for the next few weeks because the Whitetail Bucks start acting crazy. They just don't pay attention to the oncoming traffic when they are looking for a doe in heat and running across the roads.
