Larry S. Geier Sr., who was best known for riding in parades and around town with his basset hounds on his motorcycle, died Sunday the 23rd. He was 64.
I never talked to Larry. I didn't even know that was his name until columnist Mike Argento wrote a story on him a few years back. But I'd seen Larry - and the bassets, Felony and Malicious Mischief - so many times that I felt I did know him.
And it's a sight that I, and probably many others around York County, will definitely miss.
It's Saturday in York County. (And heavens, we've had "bad weather." We need bread, toilet paper and milk, ain't so?) So where do you go?
Well, if you're MY family, it's definitely here:
In our case, we headed out to the West York Wal-Mart today for our big grocery order. Holy cow, was that place packed. And the turkey section... boy, was that a madhouse!!While we were there, we ran into my friend Nina's parents and younger brother, doing their shopping.
So what's with the bread-milk-toilet paper phenomenon? I don't know, but our commenters on the winter weather story yesterday even picked up on it.
Guess that qualifies as a true "Only in York County."
For those of you who don't know the staffers of the York Daily Record, we're an eclectic bunch. One of the most unusual among us is Tom Joyce, our political reporter.
Tom's a good guy, and this weekend, something not-so-good happened to him. You have to read it to believe it, but his blog post title says a lot: Smashing Pumpkins.
Go read his post and show Tom some love!
