The Buffalo Bills tickets that we’ll be giving away at the upcoming N.Y.S. Highway & Public Works Expo might be pretty valuable this go-around.

Craig Mongeau - September 2015
Over the past several years, more articles have been popping up on the Web about yet another asteroid potentially hurtling toward Earth with the potential to slam into it. Some of these are hoaxes while other stories talk of asteroids that are in reality millions and millions of miles outside of Earth’s orbital path around the sun, though that info is buried quite a ways down in the story, you know, to get you to read it. ... more on September 2015

Soon, we’re going to have another horse racing Triple Crown attempt at the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, N.Y. Like a lot of people, both ones who follow horse racing year-round, and me, who follows the three big races in May and June each year, I’d like to see a Triple Crown winner; if American Pharaoh wins June 6, he will be the first horse since Affirmed did it in 1978 — a decade that saw three Triple Crown winners, with Secretariat and Seattle Slew being the other two. ... more on June 2015
