What I saw recently

 More light duty

 Seen in York - easily accessible buttons.  A good idea for Columbia?

 Seen in Wrightsville - people do love that bridge.

 On the job

 Crow's nest?

 Emergency personnel at a recent call

 Apparently, the logo for a local band.  Could be used for the Susquehanna, too.

 Several Lancaster County Dollar Generals have been robbed recently.  I hope ours isn't next.

 Almost sunset on the Susquehanna

 Newly opened Mattress Mart at Front & Bridge

 Did anyone remember to put the jumper cables away?

More stars and strips forever

Po-jama people

I've been seeing a lot of this over the past year or so. Do public pajama-wearers wear pajamas to bed that they wore in public?

Shutterbugs everywhere

Wrong turn?

Turning up Locust from the left lane, nearly causing a few accidents.

Lights being rewired on 3rd Street

Excavation was being done today on Third Street (near Burning Bridge Antiques) so that three street lights could be rewired. The lights have been out for several months

Beware ‘the blob’ that small government forms

Don't believe in the blob? Consider that Pennsylvania has 500 school districts (about one for every 25,000 people) and levies the 10th-highest state and local taxes in the U.S., according to the Tax Foundation. Compare that to Florida, No. 31 in state and local taxes, with only 67 school districts (one per 280,000 people).

The blob created by the mass of educational bureaucracy in the 16 school districts in Lancaster County alone — 16 superintendents, 144 school board members and hundreds of administrators — leads to public institutions that are collectively bigger, costlier, fractured and more resistant to reform.
