What's Gong On?

It's the first Fourth Monday of 2012, and the Chinese New Year! Welcome to the Year of the Dragon!

So, this isn't my town, particularly, but it is a picture from Myna Bird's flickr set (which has plenty more cool images to see). This timely, lovely one was just taken at the Loyang Tau Pek Kong Temple.

So, after wishing you a year of prosperity, good luck, and good health, may we ask? What's gong on in your town?

Oh my, but we seem to have fallen off the My-Town-Monday map! We must all be uber busy. I can keep an eye on this blog today. So, if you put up a MTM post, leave a comment below, and I'll add your link. Also, I'd like to wish you a Happy Poinsettia Day!* Today marks the anniverary of Dr. Joel Poinsett's birth in 1799. This is the guy who brought the poinsettia from Mexico to the US. So, stop and sniff a poinsettia, or buy one, or water one, or have a slice of cake!~Barrie

Welcome to the Fourth Monday. I think of these like the Friday afternoons of the month. We've almost made it! Tell us where to find your MTM post and we'll link it! Remember that My Town Monday is as much a state of mind as anywhere in particular.

In that vacay spirit, Laura at the Women of Mystery hits the September seaside in charming Westerly, Rhode Island.

Debra from Of Skilled Hands gives us pictures and clips of the 2nd annual Music on the Porches in Peninsula, Ohio.

Evil J Winter explains why Cincinnati airport is call-signed for another city and actually located in Kentucky. Ah, Ohio, you bewildering enchantress.

Proving exactly the point about MTM being a state of mind, Travis Erwin examines Texas politics, including some laughably poor reading comprehension and an offer I don't think the pols should refuse.

Barrie Summy posts about a location in San Diego that you probably won't want to visit.

(I can add a better tease than that, Barrie! It's the most massive livestock farm with the least amount of pastoral landscape I've ever seen! But my scaly old pals, Lyle and Lazarus, would've found it divine.)

Clair takes us for a bumpy ride along Livingston County, Michigans, rough roads.

There are multiple births over at Barrie Summy's San Diego blog. Reptile-style, that is!

*Such a good cause, we're calling it a MTM. You can sneak stuff in, too!
