It reads like a political thriller. An NSA spook, Edward Snowden, meets his conscience, blows the whistle on a massive secret attack on the Fourth Amendment, and is pursued globally by an obsessed president. Spice things up with a bit of character development cross-pollinated with a history lesson.

When the Indianapolis Colts play the Denver Broncos on October 20, 2013 in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the average ticket price, according to a ticket website called Vivid Seats, will be $467. That is the before-tax weekly household income of more than 54 percent of the 410,000 people who filed tax returns in Erie County, New York, in the last year the IRS counted.

Within a matter of weeks and one-tenth of a mile, outposts of two self-serve frozen yogurt chains, Yotality and White Rabbit Frozen Yogurt, opened on Buffalo’s Elmwood Avenue. Their unusual proximity and coincidental timing raises the question: How do the froyo emporiums stack up and is there room in the village for both?

In Merriam-Webster’s dictionary the initial definition of ice is listed simply as “frozen water.” In Fannie Merritt Farmer’s 1896 The Boston Cooking School Cookbook, she gives a recipe for vanilla ice cream that contains only three ingredients (cream, sugar, and vanilla) and directions that say simply mix ingredients and freeze. These are the literal definition and most basic recipe for frozen ices, but it doesn’t end there.

It’s been over 50 years since 46-year-old Mary Martin captivated Broadway as a teenaged convent girl named Maria, assuring the world that hills were alive with the sound of music. Before that historic November evening in 1959 was over, venerable Martin had expounded upon the virtues of raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, tamed a captain with seven children, kicked the habit, and rescued the entire crew from the Nazis.

It was quite by accident that I parked this week’s test car, a 2013 Buick Encore, outside of the Clarence town government building right in front of a sign which read “Compact Car Parking Only.” Years ago there wasn’t a Buick made which could have been legally left there. The Buicks of the 1940s and 1950s, and most of the Buicks of the 1960s and onward, were giant, wallowing luxo-barges—and proud of it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When I first arrived in Santa Cruz some years back, I helped start a New Wave-punk band called Mystery Spot. Our first drummer was a guy named Lucky Lehrer. After a few months, our manager decided Lucky wasn’t good enough and kicked him out of the band.
