The Clydesdales were at Flinchbaugh's Orchard & Farm Market in Hellam for the past few days. This one, however, isn't real. The real ones are shown a little further down.

Also at Flinchbaugh's: beautiful scenery . . .

This osprey kept flying around above the railroad tracks near the "old" bridge. For some reason it held this small branch with his talons for a while (unless he was snagged) before releasing it.

It finally came to rest on this steel column for about a minute before taking off again.

Restaurant Inspections - Columbia Borough - June 28, 2024

Coffee & Cream, 101 N. Front St. Columbia, June 20. Fail. The Person in Charge did not demonstrate adequate knowledge of food safety in this food facility as evidenced by this non-compliant inspection. Observed two boxes of eggs held at 82°F, in the upper storage area, rather than 45°F or below as required. Sliced turkey, a refrigerated, ready to eat time temperature control for safety food in the reach-in cooler, was date-marked by the facility, but was beyond the 7 day use or sell by date and requires discarding. Food facility has a reminder statement on the menu for foods that are/or could be served raw or undercooked to the consumer; however, does not clearly disclose which foods the reminder statement applies to. Observed a pink and black slimy residue on the deflector plate of the ice maker. REPEAT VIOLATION OF 12/4/23. Floor in the cold-storage area, is made of wood and broken linoleum, and is not durable, smooth, non-porous, non-absorbent.
