I hope you set your clocks forward an hour yesterday. If you didn’t, bad news. You’re late for work. Better get moving.

Hope you had a nice weekend. I relaxed a little, watched a movie, bought a house. You know, the normal things. Here’s a tip from me to you. Make sure your wife (or husband) has the chance to see the house. My wife was out of town, and I kind of bought it without her managing to actually see or be inside the home. Hope she trusts me.

First, I want to apologize. There was a TNA wrestling event in Erie Friday and we just plain missed it. Speaking of wrestling, did you know that Hulk Hogan is like 57 years old. Crazy.

Attorney Joseph Messina of Erie is featured in this story from the Chronicle of Higher Education about college donors.

Timothy Greenfield, 38, of Erie was arrested on rape charges. The victim was a 3-year-old girl. What is the matter with people. I want to use my thoughts to do this to people who commit these sorts of crimes.

Events

On Maple Taste & Tour weekend, 13 area maple syrup producers will open their sugar houses for the public to see how the delicious amber liquid is made, taste free samples, have fun as well as the chance to buy a variety of maple products from syrup to cream to crumb to candy.

This year’s event also will feature the Woodmobile, a traveling exhibit from the Pennsylvania Hardwoods Council. It will be located at Hurry Hill Farm and Maple Museum, which welcomes visitors to the 7th Annual Maple Taste & Tour weekend on Saturday and Sunday, March 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m..

Each producer is different, giving the public to see first-hand various methods of production. Some use wood, some fuel oil or natural gas, and some gather sap by the bucket and some from networks of pipelines in the woods.
