Need to Get Away? Take A Summertime Trip To The Finger Lakes
With summer in full swing, it's time to think about vacation time. I already have my time off scheduled, and can't wait for some relaxation and summer fun. I was thinking about different things I could do this summer, rather than just stay home or go to the campground. And then it hit me what we have right around us. And that thing is the Finger Lakes region.

Avelo Airlines To Cease Direct Orlando Flights From Binghamton
The convenience of a direct flight to Orlando from the Greater Binghamton Airport was a welcome addition to the community, but that convenience is about to end. Avelo Airlines, headquartered in Houston, Texas began twice weekly direct flights from BGM to ORL in November 2022.

These New York Marine Animals Have Lived Longer Than Dinosaurs
Bring up the subject of dinosaurs to kids, and they seem to get excited. I never quite understood that. Nothing against dinosaurs, but when I was a kid, I had no interest in anything else associated with these creatures of the Triassic Period, which, by the way, began about 230 million years ago.

New Yorkers Should Be Using This Car Button During the Summer
At the beginning of each cold weather and warm weather season, my wife and I have different opinions on where to set the air-recirculation button in our vehicles. Depending on whose car it is, I think the owner should be the one who gets to decide the setting, but for some reason, that doesn't seem to work when we are in my vehicle. Go figure.

Otsego County, New York’s Obnoxious Bloodsucking Freaks
I'm not sure how it is by you, but in my neck of the woods, it's been a bonanza of bad behavior from the ancient bane of mammalian existence: the mosquito. Their presence goes back at least 100.5 million years ago - 66 million years ago. T-Rex still walked the Earth during this time. The irony is that when the apocalypse happens, all the world will be left with will be cockroaches, mosquitoes, and zombies. Lots of zombies.
