9 billion hot dogs later
Ever own a pair of linen shorts? Then wash them once and suddenly they’re wearing every piece of lint your dryer has collected since the Obama administration.
That’s my life now.
Amazing I’ve made it this far without learning how to wash the fabric of summer.
Thankfully, writing this requires zero dryer sheets.
The country had a birthday. Bucks hosted.
Sure, the whole country celebrated our 250th anniversary.
But Bucks has a pretty strong claim to being the country’s hometown.
From parades and fireworks to crowds filling historic sites like Washington Crossing, this wasn’t just another Fourth. It was a reminder some of America’s biggest stories started right here.
For one weekend, we weren’t just celebrating history, we were living it.
Not bad for a county that also managed to wolf down nine billion hot dogs over 3 days.
Updating rules written before wi-fi existed
Langhorne Borough just landed state funding to rewrite its zoning ordinance for the first time since 1995. That’s before Wi-Fi. Before Google. Before anyone voluntarily carried a phone in their pocket.
The overhaul will modernize rules covering everything from solar panels to wireless infrastructure, while making the borough’s historic guidelines easier to navigate.
In other words: More protecting the borough’s charm. Fewer headaches, fewer “wait...I need a permit for what?“ moments.
Guys have discovered hormones
Well golf, you had a nice run. But apparently the latest thing guys are comparing is testosterone levels.
Part of my job here is keeping an eye on what’s trending around the county, and lately, the radar has been pointing toward personalized wellness.
Specifically, Gameday, a men’s wellness center in Newtown, aiming to help guys who are looking to feel a little less “I threw my back out sneezing” or “dang, I need a nap” after mowing the lawn.
Whether it’s a genuine health revolution or the male version of the skincare surge, custom calibration is booming in Bucks.
If your weekend involved fireworks, traffic and at least two hot dogs, you had a good time and you’re all caught up.
We’ll be back later this week with more things worth leaving the house for.
May your linen stay lint-free,
Cait, From Bucks
