Uninvited guest

Watchful eye

Watching from a distance

A little further back

 Musser's Market - gone but not forgotten

 At Glatfelter Field

 Fading away

 The beauty of rust

 There is reportedly only one Columbia keyholder, but is it the right one?

 Ghost horse?

 Back to the old grind

 Lions under the weather, as in weathered

 Commemorative walkway

 Sign down!

 Another sighting of the elusive spoonbill flamingo

 Snake suffocating from a seizure

 An omen?

 Another omen?

 Snow for sale
(We might have all we need in the near future.)

 So, there is such a place.

Big rock

 So, why is there an island in Shawnee Run?

 Tundra swans whooping it up

 Another way to fix a utility pole

 Shame!

 Top of the heap

 More whoops

 Sorta roofin'

 Valentine's Day

 At last look, still there

 The lights are gone.

 Flower power

 Diggin' the day

 Watch those allergens.

 Good Samaritan

 Obedience training

 People lined up this afternoon (Sunday) to receive food items from Columbia Presbyterian/Hands Across the Street. Sometimes folks need a little help. Tax hike apologists would do well to remember that $12 a month does make a difference to some people.

50 vehicles found with out-of-date registrations, some not inspected | Columbia Borough Police Department

Attached to this post is a document that some people in town will find under their wiper blades to let them know that their registration is out of date and their vehicle needs to be re-registered with PennDOT. If you get a notice on your vehicle, please stop at a notary or visit PennDOT's Driver and Vehicle Services webpage to renew. The webpage to visit is http://www.dmv.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx

Approx. 50 vehicles were posted overnight between 02-15-19 and 02-16-19. Some of the vehicles posted were not currently inspected as well. Unfortunately the state is no longer handing out registration stickers so make sure if you change your address, you change it with PennDOT as well so they know where to send your renewal notice to. Your registration date and inspection dates will most likely not match up as well.

Have a safe day!
