A weekend off, more or less

By Howard B. Owens

My parents are flying into Buffalo tonight and will be spending Saturday and Sunday in Batavia. Much of our weekend, then, will be taken up with showing them the beauty and wonders of Genesee County. We'll do some sightseeing on Saturday, and on Sunday, Billie and my mom are going shopping and I'm taking my dad to the Batavia Muckdogs game.

Alecia Kaus, a local freelance journalist (she shoots a lot of news video for Buffalo and Rochester TV stations) will monitor the scanner for us and report anything that needs to be reported. If something big breaks, well, we'll figure out how to handle that if it happens.

Of course, I'll still be around and check in on the site from time to time.

It should be a beautiful Saturday and we're hoping it doesn't rain on Sunday. Have a nice weekend, and to all the dads, Happy Father's Day.

The photos are from a short little drive I took this afternoon. Top, a cloud disperses the sun's rays over West Main Street Road, and below, a duel stand of trees on South Main Road (which, as many times as I've driven down this street, I've never noticed before).

"My parents are flying into Buffalo tonight" well, go easy, I'm sure their arms will be tired.

Take them to Letchworth, absolutely beautiful this time of year and if it's not all booked up for Father's Day, you can have dinner at The Glen Iris.

How about doing some geocaching in the area? That will take you to a plethora of sights to see... some that you may have never known about! You would learn about them and then go experience them! That's what we'll (authorized users) be doing this weekend!!! :)
