SOCIAL MEDIA SUNDAY EDITION!

Some of us are in holiday pre-planning mode or otherwise enjoying a well-deserved peaceful Sunday---but for those on social media---a few of our readers have sifted through what's worth knowing and.....:


BUT FOR THE MOMENT, THE BIG NEWS IS ...JUSTICE GREEN RESIGNING; OR WAS HE FORCED OUT AND IF SO, BY WHOM, AND/OR WOULD YOU WANT TO BE A JUDGE AROUND "THIS CREW"...HANG ON TO YOUR HATS LADIES, IT'S GONNA BE A BUMPY RIDE ETC ETC.....

***Again, there's some minor discussion about flu shot numbers being down: During the 2025–2026 flu season, overall shot coverage across the U.S. dropped to less than 44% from 52% in 2021---Not going to re-hash the reasons why posted--or the past reliability of the experts etc.----Flu shots are readily available, and flu event numbers are up.  Someone called for mandatory masking again, which has largely been met with "hell no" (being polite, it's family blog, lol)

And lots of anticipatory chatter about our potential new "health blog/substack" authored by a retired nurse possibly coming in January.  If it happens, you'll see it here first!


***LOTS OF CHATTER ON ONE SITE ABOUT HOW MANY POT SHOPS ARE POPPING UP AND HOW CLOSE THEY ALL ARE; YOU CAN FORM YOUR OWN JUDGEMENTS ABOUT THAT BY SEEING THE CURRENT LIST (which now includes the new Luckly Leaf in Ossining) AT EverythingCroton: ICYMI--2026---SO HOW MANY POT SHOPS ARE THERE IN WESTCHESTER


***LOTS OF CHATTER ON ONE SITE ABOUT THE OUTSTANDING GIRL SCOUT TROOP 2050 EverythingCroton: VETERANS DAY CROTON 2026 AND THE GIRL SCOUTS TROOP 2050, LAKELAND DISTRICT

***RUMOR MILL, ANOTHER "AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT" TIED INTO GRANT MONEY??????; it's hard to tell what this one's about....best to ignore...for now......

11/26 TURKEY TROT FOR A HEALTHY HEART

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship --- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Thursday, November 26: Croton Rotary's Turkey Trot for a Healthy Heart

Thanksgiving morning starts at Spencer Field, 10 Gerstein Street, at 9 a.m. Croton Rotary's Turkey Trot for a Healthy Heart is built for families rather than racers: walk laps around the track, or follow The Turkey on a one-mile fun run. Entry is a $5 donation per person, kids get medals, and the event goes on rain or shine. Net proceeds go to Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in Valhalla, the region's children's hospital.

WHCA WANNABE ASSASSIN COLE THOMAS JUST GOT INTO MORE TROUBLE, TOWNHALL



On April 25, 2026, Cole Tomas Allen tried to assassinate President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and any Trump officials who were present at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. He nearly made it: security camera footage shows Allen sprinting full-bore, evading numerous Secret Service agents. What saved this from becoming a massacre? Allen. He tripped over his feet right by the main ballroom door. He was already facing a slew of federal charges, but now we have terrorism charges in a superseding indictment filed Friday (via NY Post)
