Hot, fresh cinnamon rolls
With winter fast approaching, what could be more comforting than these, especially on a lazy weekend morning?
Perhaps, even, waking up to the aroma of them still in the oven?
Oh, lucky me!
Regional differences in America’s sweet tooth
While Reese’s will probably still be the favorite., followed by M&Ms, when it comes to trick or treaters, other top choices may vary depending on where you live.
For instance:
- Twizzlers have a special popularity along the East Coast. (Guess I’ll have to look closer.)
- Starburst is tops in Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Iowa, and North Dakota.
- Airheads rule in Florida and Colorado.
- Blow pops, in Ohio, Maryland, and Tennessee.
- Dum Dums, Indiana.
- Runts, Arkansas.
- Hot Tamales, New Mexico. (Not to be confused with a traditional Central American dish that’s sometimes spicy.)
- Whoppers, Kansas.
- Smarties, Alaska.
- Is Crunch bar even a brand – popular in New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and California? Oh, I see, it’s what we’ve always called Nestle’s Crunch! Kinda like Kit Kat.
The rest of the country goes for more traditional brands – at least ones I’m familiar with.
I’m still not sure about that candy corn, which is supposed to be universally loved this time of year.

Some road names have a poetic twist
Country roads sometimes carry imaginative monikers.
Here are some ones that stand out in my encounters:
- Bellsqueeze (Maine)
- Cat Mousam (Maine, named for Catherine Mousam)
- Clay Lick (Indiana)
- Diamond Mill (Ohio, named for the pattern on the mill’s label rather than little gems sparkling in the pavement)
- Feedwire (Ohio)
- Indian Ripple (Ohio)
- Labor in Vain (Massachusetts)
- Needmore (Ohio)
- Snakeroot (Maine)
- Sweet Potato Ridge (Ohio, in some truly flat terrain)

sad song
when available
on eight outside walls
One musician admiring another
a bass in the Balkan choir has a low C securely
or lower depending on the day, so he admits
what he’s hitting today is three steps below
my best rumble
with luck
or even two, on good fortune
the singers warm up on a modal scale
those two telling flats against a major
rehearse in three locations across the state
and come together at events like the one I’m at
and then dance, in lines not quite Greek
