Happy Earth Day!

April 22, 2022 by Bob Bergey

I took this photo on the very first Earth Day, 52 years ago today, when I was a senior at Pennridge High School in 1970. It was taken from one of Carson's cargo helicopters; Carson Helicopters is based in Hilltown Township (Perkasie, PA address) since 1958. Their helicopters have provided various services around the world to this day. Interesting side note: they manufacture the … [Read more...] about Happy Earth Day!

Can I Type Faster Than You?

January 6, 2022 by Bob Bergey

One of my favorite classes in high school was typing class. I took it two years; the first year was on manual typewriters. The second year was on electric typewriters — IBM Selectrics — which were introduced by IBM in the early 1960s.

I Voted!

October 16, 2020 by Bob Bergey

Our mail-in ballots arrived yesterday, and Susan and I just got back from dropping off our completed, signed and sealed ballots at the official ballot drop box in Quakertown for Bucks County voters. There was no line, but it was a very busy place, people in and out constantly while we were there. After all the issues regarding the United States Postal Service recently and … [Read more...] about I Voted!

Has Your Facebook Profile Been Cloned or Hacked?

October 14, 2020 by Bob Bergey

My Facebook profile was cloned today. Someone copied some of my public profile photos, added a bit of other information to the profile, then began sending out friend requests to others who were already friends of mine. Several of my Facebook friends notified me today that my profile had been cloned, that they had received friend requests from me. I had not unfriended anyone … [Read more...] about Has Your Facebook Profile Been Cloned or Hacked?
