Courthouse lights

Were the court house lights ever on this winter? Here is what they looked like last week.

Like so many other things that look nice, there is a lot of worked needed to maintain them.

J said...: I noticed that the lights weren't on on Christmas eve and night. I guess they've been this way for a while. I was excited when they fixed the lights, but disappointed when I saw them lit. You used to be able to see the lights from miles away. These cheap lights are really dim...well, I guess they're totally out now.; March 26, 2011 at 12:03 AM

Contacting Rensselaer Adventures

To contact Rensselaer Adventures, send e-mail to rensselaeradventures at yahoo.com. (I put the @ in there originally, and of the first eight messages I received, four were the Nigerian scam and three told me I won a lottery I never entered. Maybe this change is already too late.)

If you want to comment on any specific post, (adding information or correcting a mistake I made) please use the comment area that is available on each post. That way everyone will get to see what you think, not just me.

I would love to hear from you if you have ideas of things I can write about. Even better, if you want to contribute something, I will consider it.

I will not check this address every day, so be patient. (And I almost never check my messages on Facebook, so it you send something there, the odds are that I will not see it for weeks or months.)

Also, I encourage and appreciate comments that are informative or entertaining. However, I delete comments that I think are offensive or inappropriate (which includes spam--I delete a lot of spam).
