In late September, it's time for the annual Falling Leaves 14k and 5k road races. The 14k features the very scenic South Woods section with beautiful rolling hills and great views of the Mohawk Valley. To top it off, Utica is home to the new Distance Running Hall of Fame. It's just a logo. Nobody around here looks like that.
Nobody looks like the doggie, either.
It is our fervent wish that all good doggies be very happy and wag their tails accordingly. This is not to say that if a doggie were to park its posterior near a considerable heat source, all portions of its hind quarters would be free of combustion, or artifacts thereof. We're not really all that fond of parading around in camo-clothes in the backwoods somewhere, pretending to protect the Constitution. There is no such thing as a left-wing media conspiracy. The only thing these folks conspire to do is to make more money selling newspapers, TV and radio air time, or magazine ad space.
