Last weekend, I was back in one of my favorite places, Bantam Lake, in Litchfield, Connecticut. We were there to go to Robin Hood's Medieval Faire in Harwinton, and to camp at Point Folly. But anytime I'm in Bantam, my thoughts always turn to UFO sightings in the area, and the infamous UFO crash at Bantam Lake in 2012. I've discussed my own strange sightings there in previous episodes, but this week I'm looking at other UFO sightings in the area, as well as recounting some personal stories from members of my audience, all of whom witnessed the Bantam UFO firsthand, as it happened.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 15 is here! Illinois -  East St Louis To Springfield Personal Updates and Life Stories Bubba and Randy caught up on personal updates, including Randy's recent trip to Washington and Kentucky, where he visited family and retrieved his van. Randy shared an amusing story about discovering a spoiled hot dog in his van's freezer, which caused an unpleasant smell. Bubba discussed his family's plans, including bringing Luke home from Clemson for the summer, while Logan will stay in Raleigh to work as a waiter and potentially train as a bartender. They also talked about the challenges some college students face in finding internships, noting that unpaid internships are now rare. The conversation ended with Randy sharing his experience working as a runner at Mary Tyler Moore Enterprises, where he witnessed actor Lawrence Fishburne auditioning for bit parts in various TV shows. Entertainment Industry and Work Experiences The conversation covered personal experiences in the entertainment industry, with one participant sharing their experience working as a runner at Dick Clark Productions, including a memorable task of transporting Dick Clark and his wife's dogs in their Jaguar. The discussion also touched on Bubba's experience working at a coal plant in Decatur, Illinois, where they handled unusual materials like burning tires. The conversation ended with a reference to their ongoing discussion about Route 66, picking up where they left off last week after covering Missouri and St. Louis. Route 66 Illinois Tour Discussion Randy discussed the different routes of Route 66 in Illinois, highlighting the clear signage in the state that indicates different route periods. They shared details about two main routes near St. Louis, including the Chain of Rocks Bridge and the original 1926-1930 route through Mitchell and Edwardville to Hamel. Randy recommended visiting the Chain of Rocks Bridge and suggested a loop route through Mitchell, Edwardville, Hamel, and potentially Collinsville to see the world's largest ketchup bottle, before continuing to Springfield via the original 1926-1930 route. Route 66 Antique Mall Visit Randy described visiting an antique mall in Livingston, Illinois, which features kitschy Route 66 memorabilia including a giant pink elephant and a trailer referencing Brownsville Station's "Martian Boogie" song. They recommended a detour from the 1930 route to see the pink elephant and Ariston Restaurant in Litchfield, which is the longest continuously operating restaurant on Route 66, having moved from the original 1926 alignment in 1930. Bubba, who is from Decatur, Illinois, provided context about the geographic location of these sites between St. Louis and Springfield in southern Illinois. US 250th Anniversary and Route 66 The discussion focused on the 250th anniversary of the United States and the centennial of Route 66, with participants clarifying that the correct term for a 250-year milestone is "semiquincentennial." They discussed early American settlements and how quickly cities developed, with Bubba mentioning his visits to historical sites like Jamestown. The conversation then shifted to Route 66 in Illinois, where Randy explained that the route spans approximately 300 miles from the Mississippi River to Chicago, with Springfield located about 75-80 miles from the river. Randy noted that visitors can see multiple landmarks including the Ariston Cafe, Pink Elephant, and antique mall by following different route alignments. Route 66 Historical Discussion The discussion focused on Route 66, with Randy describing the route through Gillespie, Carlinville, and surrounding areas. They discussed the historical significance of the old courthouse in Carlinville and the original Ariston restaurant location. Bubba shared his experience growing up in a farming community and working seasonal farm jobs, including tassel corn work, which paid better than minimum wage jobs at the time. Randy explained the different alignments of Route 66 from 1926 to 1930 and mentioned the unique red brick section in Auburn, which is the only red brick road on the entire 2,400-mile route. AI Character Design Planning Session Randy and Bubba discussed Randy's travel experiences, particularly his journey along Route 66, where he had initially rushed through locations but later learned to slow down and explore more thoroughly. They then engaged in a creative exercise to design an AI character named Beth, deciding on specific features including deep blue eyes, dark brown wavy hair, and an olive complexion. The team planned to have Beth create her own visual representation using an AI tool like Grok or ChatGPT, which they would then share on their TWR social media page. Illinois Route 66 Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed the geographical and political dynamics of Illinois, particularly focusing on the contrast between Chicago and the rest of the state, including Springfield as the state capital. They explored the historical and cultural aspects of Route 66 in Springfield, highlighting specific attractions such as Motorheads and the Route 66 display at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The conversation included practical travel advice for visiting these sites, emphasizing the importance of exploring different Route 66 alignments within the city to experience various roadside attractions. Route 66 and Lincoln Connections Randy shared his personal connection to Abraham Lincoln through family genealogy and discussed plans to visit Lincoln-related sites in Springfield and the town of Lincoln, which will be featured in upcoming podcast content. He also mentioned his upcoming trip to Navy Pier in Chicago, which now serves as a ceremonial start/end point of Route 66. Bubba revealed that he and his wife Linda previously lived in Joliet, Illinois, near where Route 66 passes through the area. The conversation concluded with both participants discussing their experiences with memory recording and the use of AI tools like Gemini to document personal stories and life experiences. eBay Conventions and Podcast Success Bubba and Randy discussed their shared memories from past eBay conventions, particularly a memorable night in Las Vegas where they pretended to be movie producers. They reflected on their long friendship and how their brains share memories of shared experiences. The conversation then shifted to their podcast's success, with Randy sharing that it ranks in the top 1% of all podcasts, having surpassed 100 episodes over 5-6 years with approximately 115 weekly downloads. Randy also announced that their Facebook page has been certified by the Route 66 Commission, making them an officially recognized Route 66-related page, and plans to share new Route 66 content including photos and a planned September trip from Chicago to Santa Monica to coincide with the 100th anniversary celebration in November.   SO.

This episode is a special one for me because I finally had an opportunity to interview Tilda Cobham-Hervey, an actor who I have long-admired, and whose name has been on my interview bucket list for many years. It was also special to interview James Litchfield, the writer and director of Alphabet Lane - a film that I can't seem to shake. I've seen it twice since I first watched it a few weeks ago, and it gets better on every viewing. Alphabet Lane follows an isolated couple, Anna, played by Tilda, and Jack, played by Nicholas Denton, who lose control of a joke about imaginary friends. If you haven't seen the film yet, I recommend watching it, then coming back to this podcast episode to avoid any spoilers. Tilda doesn't need much of an introduction, having appeared in a ton of films and television shows since her breakout performance in Sophie Hydes 52 Tuesdays in 2013. Tilda has since stared in Girl Asleep, The Kettering Incident, Barracuda, I Am Woman, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart and Apple Cider Vinegar. She has also directed and co-directed short films, and recently directed her first feature film, It's All Going Very Well… which will be released soon. James is a writer and director from Cooma, NSW with a Master's graduate of Melbourne's VCA. He has made several shorts, most of which are characterised by a quiet humour, a sense of mystery, and a grappling with meaning and anxiety, and has a few feature film scripts currently in development with Joe Films. He is an EP on The Northern Run, a rodeo documentary currently in post-production with GoodThing Productions for the ABC. Anyway… enjoy.

Litchfield Distillery (Litchfield, CT) WF078 Join me as I enter New England as part of the Great 48 Tour. Today I chat with Peter Baker, a co-founder of Litchfield Distillery in Connecticut. Along with his two brothers they made a decision to expand beyond their three-generation family bottled water business and get into the world of whiskey. We'll talk talk about their development of an American single malt, their use of Connecticut grain, taste a couple of whiskeys including their oldest release to date. And we'll dig a little into the history of bottled water (no, it isn't a recent phenomena). We'll also hear the story behind their logo and tagline, and the importance of legislative changes that allowed them to offer tastings and on-site sales.

  More than twenty thousand Hispanic Americans served in the Civil War. When Cuban-born Loreta Velázquez's husband would not allow her to join him on the battlefield, she assumed the role of First Lieutenant Harry T. Buford to be near him. Philip Bazaar, born in Chile, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his courageous exploits during the assault of Fort Fisher. The spying efforts of Floridian Maria Dolores Sánchez and her two sisters led to a Union defeat at the Battle of Horse Landing.    Delving into the lives of these individuals, historian A.J. Schenkman, author of Hispanic Americans of the Civil War, published by the History Press in 2025, uncovers this often-overlooked aspect of Civil War history. Hispanic soldiers came from different countries. Mexico had declared its independence from Spain in 1821 and later abolished slavery in 1837. Some soldiers and sailors traced their families to Cuba and Puerto Rico, which were still part of Spain. Or from Spain itself or its other colonies.    In this episode, Schenkman uncovers a bombshell story about New Haven's Augusto Rodríguez, the first known Civil War soldier from Puerto Rico. When this story was published in the Summer 2025 issue of Connecticut Explored magazine, the phone started to ring off the hook. Television news channels and newspapers quickly picked up this remarkable story.  Grating the Nutmeg has covered the courageous Puerto Rican men of the 65th regiment founded in 1899 when Puerto Rico became a United States territory in episode #184 but not someone this early in our military history.   A. J. Schenkman is a New York-based writer. He is a social studies teacher in Ulster County, New York, and a former municipal historian. Schenkman is also author of several books about local, regional, and national history. He currently writes for Litchfield and Dutchess Magazines, as well as the Shawangunk Journal.   To contact A.J.

Finished the sleeves and still have to finish the sewn bind off on the back neckline. I need some solitude to do this but there has been none available this past month. Socks: Wisdom Yarns Wacki Saki Finished. Spinning: Into the Whirled roving in colorways Welcome to Litchfield and The Traveler. Finished! 573 yards. About finger weight. Socks: Using Patons Kroy sock in the colorway Blue Striped Ragg. I discovered the balls are only 160 yards. Adding red heels and toes with Cloudborn Fibers Superwash Sock Twist from Craftsy. Was a giveaway at Stitches a few years ago. Halfway done on the foot of the first sock. Spinning: Started spinning another combo spin. Fiber from Pat Eisner that she put in the destash room at NoCKRs. Have spun two skeins of yarn, 660 yards total and about worsted weight. Kelly's Projects Izzy doll bears progress: I continue to make the tubes and have stuffed four of them. I have two others finished but unstuffed, and a fourth on the needles.  Sidewalk loom progress: Cloth apron is on and the rods are secured with texsolv. The back beam has five texsolv cords and I'm thinking I need a couple more. I finally cleaned up the reed and put it into the beater. I've washed and will reuse the texsolv cords used to tie up the treadles. I think I will cut a few more for spares and while I am at it I should cut some for the LeClerc tie up, too. The sticking point is going to be stabilizing the right side of the loom between the castle and the back beam, but I hope to have this loom ready to warp soon! Finished the skein of Wensleydale x Cormo x Merino with the silk spun into it. I started this at the NoCKRs retreat in April with some leftover fiber I found from a previous project. I will use it for an accent color when I knit with the original project yarn.  New Projects: Tablet weaving to make an armband for dog shows and name plates for each dog's crate. I'm using a makeshift warp weighted set up using clamps to hold my work in place and a variety of things attached to the warp to hold my tension as the warp hangs over something handy. I have one part of the armband completed, need to make another one of those and then do the names. Pattern has only lower case letters so I may need to do a little drafting to get the capital B for the dog names. Using Linda Henrickson's pattern from my Handwoven library. Pattern can also be found on her website here and then click “free instructions.”  Fireweed Sock number one is almost done. I am ready to start the toe of the sock. I love the way the colors are striping.  Spinning the 2018 CVM that I've been carding since November. I have two bobbins and I'm about to start the third. I'll card more of that fiber before I start the third bobbin so I can continue with the mostly blue-green fiber.  Summer Spin In  Now until September 1. All spinning and making with handspun yarn counts. Preparing fleeces also counts. Let's go!

Didn't inspire me.  Socks: Wisdom Yarns Wacki Saki in the colorway Batty Berlin. Almost done with the leg of the second sock.

I think I have finally fixed the problem with the brake band falling off.  Kelly's Projects Two more hats (both using a turquoise DK) went to the free table at school. I haven't checked back to see if they are gone, but the day after I put them there it was in the high 70s. So I switched to Izzy doll bears for my next skein of retreat spirit yarn. It's a taupe brown color.  Started another chenille rug warp for making the chenille “caterpillar strips.” As I was about half done I looked in the trunk and found some other spirit yarn I had intended to use for the strips. I used some, but I might have yet another warp of strips to make. I have a lot of weaving spirit yarn.  Finished a third bobbin of spirit roving from Pat. Still need to ply it to get the wheels empty and ready for the spin in. Gray Corriedale x Merino fiber that is beautifully prepared (Morro Fleeceworks). Shari is still processing fleeces. She is selling the mill but it hasn't sold yet. Also there is a new fiber mill opening.  News from Knitadmin Mary is that there is a new small-batch custom wool and fiber mill coming soon to Northern California, Siren Song Fleeceworks. Meredith will be accepting fleeces for custom processing at Fiber Frolic in Vacaville on June 7th. She will also be vending at Lambtown the first weekend in October.

Episode 459 / Dana Piazza Dana Piazza is a visual artist who creates abstract drawings and paintings on paper, panel, and canvas through a process of open-ended experimentation, repeating simple marks with brushes, markers, pens, and nibs. The meticulous forms that Piazza conjures on his flat surfaces depict the illusion of depth and movement; they seem voluminous, carrying significant visual weight. He approaches each work as though it were both a puzzle and an experiment, and lets the materials and tools determine the process.   Dana lives and works in Lenox, Massachusetts. He looks forward to featuring at Dallas Art Fair and having his first solo exhibition with TURLEY, by whom he is represented, in the Spring of 2025. His work has previously appeared in solo exhibitions at Art Austerlitz in Austerlitz, New York; Thompson Giroux Gallery in Chatham, New York; and Jennifer Terzian Gallery in Litchfield, Connecticut. His numerous group exhibitions include “Flat Files at OyG” at Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn; “Concentrated” at Galerie Manqué in Brooklyn; “Art on Paper” at Muriel Guépin Gallery in New York City; and “Guilty Pleasures” at Geoffrey Young Gallery in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Piazza received a BFA from Purchase College, State University of New York.

"Subject to" real estate has been exploding in popularity. When mortgage rates began to rise, subject to (often called sub to) came in as the hero to save the day. This real estate investing strategy offered investors the chance to take over low-interest-rate loans from homeowners who wanted to sell their properties. And, with often a minimal down payment required, new and experienced investors lined up to give this fast-scaling strategy a try. Without even knowing it, Tanner Litchfield did the same. After being brought a home run, three-percent mortgage rate deal, Tanner knew he had to act quickly to secure what would be a massive passive income play. He put down a six-figure down payment to secure it, with another seventy thousand dollars in renovation costs. Things were rolling smoothly until…they weren't. Tanner lost every penny he put into this property and the property itself while another investor walked away with it in hand. How did this happen, and how do YOU avoid a six-figure creative financing mistake? In today's episode, Tanner walks through every difficult detail of this deal gone wrong. He shares the red flags he should have seen in the beginning and the one thing that could have saved him from this deadly deal.
