A Parliament of Owls
Thanks to a post by Dawn Treader recently, it got me thinking about the owls I own. When I was a lot younger, I once commented that my husband Greg reminded me of an owl - he wore large metal-rimmed spectacles that were fashionable in the 60s and 70s (the sort John Lennon used to wear) and was very wise. He was a radio journalist who ended up in the BBC World Service Newsroom, so was very knowledgeable about all sorts of things to do with politics and world affairs. Having made this observation, I then found I was inundated with presents of owls by people who needed some clues for what to give me for birthday or Christmas presents or a souvenir from their holiday. Not real owls of course, but china ones, glass ones, fabric ones, vases, mugs, pictures, doorstops, jewellery and keyrings. Over the decades I have accumulated so many that I have now had to say 'No more, please', as my shelves and walls are groaning with them. If at some stage in the future, I need to downsize my home, I sha

Maryland agriculture’s ‘triple aim’: food, environmental and social justice
This Op-Ed was written by The Vineyards at Dodon Co-Owner Tom Croghan, and published by the Baltimore Sun on March 13, 2023. Click here to access the Op-Ed. Governor Wes Moore has committed to ending child poverty . Maryland agriculture has a crucial role to play if the state is to achieve this audacious goal. Eliminating food insecurity for the state’s children is vital to the solution. Doing so in a way that restores functioning ecosystems and eliminates disparities should become the driving force for all agriculture policies and practices. Maryland will only end child poverty if it pursues these linked goals concurrently. Food, environmental and social justice thus form agriculture’s “triple aim.” Good nutrition is a foundation of healthy child development and should be agriculture’s primary objective. Well-nourished children grow, learn, play and participate in their communities. They are more resilient in the face of crisis. And they are less likely to engage in violent and anti-s

Tilray closing Revolver taproom in Granbury, planning new location
Image credit: Tilray Brands. In February of this year, Tilray Brands announced operational changes affecting Revolver Brewing of Granbury. This news came six months after the company acquired Revolver from Molson Coors in September 2024. At the time, the plan was to move large-scale brewing operations to other Tilray facilities (non-resident brewer's licenses exist for company-owned breweries in Colorado, Georgia, Oregon and Wisconsin), with the Granbury taproom carrying on while focused on small-batch, "innovative brews." A license covering Revolver's satellite location at Texas Live in Arlington was surrendered in February as well, with that locale now operating as a Blue Moon-branded taproom. Today, a subsequent announcement on Revolver's social media channels has indicated the Granbury taproom will close on Saturday, December 6, ahead of an intended move to a new location. This was perhaps foreshadowed by the pending sale of Revolver's equipment through New Mill Capital and the app
