One of the presidential candidates was criticized because he didn’t know what Aleppo was. People were quick to make remarks like, “He’s so ignorant he didn’t even know what Aleppo was.”

Hindley Wang
Hi, my name is Hindley Wang. My first name is pronounced with a short “i” and a somewhat silent “d.” I am a 19-year-old student at Lincoln Academy in Newcastle. I am originally from Shanghai, China, and my original name is Wenjia Wang. I have lived in Newcastle for three years. I live in a dorm room with little natural light but a lot of string lights and a gigantic palm-leaf tapestry on the wall. I like to call myself an artsy individual, because I paint, decorate, play and listen to jazz, and write, but I am still trying to live up to the standard of a “real artist,” whatever that means.
If a dog tires easily, limps, is slow to rise, or is reluctant to climb stairs, run, or jump, canine osteoarthritis may be the cause. Osteoarthritis involves an inflammatory response, cartilage degeneration, and loss of collagen and nutrients in the joints.
My school days at Muscongus’ one-room school began with walking a mile on Bremen’s heavily forested Shore Road hoping not to meet a moose on the way. In preparation for such an event, I had practiced scaling several climbable trees at strategic locations.

My wife and I felt the need to have a break from the national election contention by taking short-term asylum in Montreal. I was interested as I went window-shopping today that one of my favorite shirts is now made in Canada.

Rising waters are usually followed by an eroding sand beach. This is the case at the eastern Maryland and Virginia coasts. More specifically, Wallops Island and the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia, and the Assateague Island National Seashore, off the coast of Maryland, are the present cases with sand beaches.

This year I am having to watch my attitude as we approach the national holiday. We have had a string of things happen that have made me discouraged. First I discovered that three of my large, framed pastel paintings have vanished from the church.
Well, you know there’s an old sayin’, “careful what you wish for.” Well, for years I’ve heard people claim that they were really tired of career politicians in the White House. Well, guess what? We got what we asked for! And now that we have a guy with no political experience, it seems all we hear is how much disarray the president-elect is in, with cabinet appointments and all the different advisers that go with the position.
We still recall that back around 1949 when we were in grammar school, it seemed that Thanksgiving had a special deep-down feeling of love, warmth, and a special deep-down feeling for family members and the well-being of others in our local area.
In the third Star Wars movie, “Return of the Jedi,” we were introduced to the Sarlacc, a creature that swallows its prey whole and then spends an entire millennium digesting the newly acquired nourishment. I feel as though last Tuesday’s stunning presidential election has turned many of us into Sarlaccs who will spend at least a millennium trying to digest the implications of what just happened.

It has been an interesting morning having my coffee while listening to the morning news on the radio and at the same time listening to Robin battle with the blue jays. He is convinced that they are complete hogs and carry off vast amounts of birdseed, so he has taken to running them off however possible.
