An attentive reader of The Post-Journal responded to my column about the nighttime marauders on our deck — the nocturnal animals. I mentioned that some friends in Russell, Pennsylvania, were being overwhelmed by skunks, and entire neighborhoods there reeked. Whoa — I had never noticed that ...
From what I've heard and read, the 2026 graduations went well. Graduation gowns were a neutral color. The cords bore the colors of each senior's original high school.
