Meet Erik Kloeker, juggler extraordinaire. After setting some kind of record of more than four minutes of upside-down juggling, some Cincinnati State students interviewed him for a TV show. I thought it was clever to interview him upside down.

It’s been a very dry summer here. It seems early to be talking about fall colors here, but it does seem that leaves are changing earlier this year. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has a useful website where you can track the fall colors.

Another image from Natural Bridge in Kentucky. When people ride the Sky Lift to the top, this is one of the viewpoints that is about a one-minute walk from the top of the lift.

Natural Bridge State Park Kentucky Sky Lift, $8 roundtrip shortcut to the top to see Natural Bridge. Or better yet, it can be hiked for free.

My Marantz PMD660 digital recorder was acting up again recently, cutting in and out when I would monitor sound through the headphone jack. The same thing happened last year while the product was still under warranty, and they very quickly fixed it. I had it back in a week and was very impressed with their service.I called the company the other day, ready and willing to shell out some money to get it fixed. I found out they don’t do out-of-warranty repairs. They referred me to a company called Superscope that could fix it. When I talked to them I found out it was a $175 repair. Ouch.I decided it was time to turn into a repairman myself. I ordered the part for $7.50 plus $7.50 shipping. After about 15 minutes, the machine was fixed and ready for action.
