Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: wild legislators, Garp, obnoxious children, stick figures, Father's Day, lunch, the desensitization of our youth and Billy Fuccillo.

Matt is saving the environment one beer at a time.

Bath-on-Hudson Beth had lunch in Rensselaer.

Robert enjoyed the atmosphere at Hot Dog Heaven.
