I’ll admit right here and now: I never was part of that great American broadcasting tradition — I never was a PBS kid. Sesame Street, huh? Where’s that? Ever the intellectual giant, the only thing with Sesame in or on it that I knew of were those wonderful McDonald’s Big Mac burgers, with two, all […]
These three-day, holiday weekends . . . yikes. Hard to get back in the saddle and write a column when you’re still thinking about sun, barbeque, family, friends, fireworks, et al. But, I’ll get something out on deadline, thanks to dear wife Jen. Jen is always e-mailing me something . . . and something is […]
This past weekend the ‘Daily? Oakland Press ran a nice feature on the growing by leaps and bounds county — in particular the western part, by Novi and right here in the Northeastern tier. Of course you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know things are a little more congested and cramped than […]
Don Rush has not been traded to another franchise or dropped down to the farm club. His column will return. So relax. Don’t worry. Be happy!
Auto manufacturers world-wide are in hot pursuit of the ultimate crossbred vehicle. Tinkering engineers have mated smaller, responsive cars with larger, meatier SUVS.

I was given the tricked-out, […]

Little three year old Sean Rush now sings proudly, ‘O-Can-nee-da!? And that’s it, eh. Like his old man (that would be me), he doesn’t know the rest of the anthem those hosers to the north sing. Of course his lack of verbiage on the anthem side has not stopped him from proclaiming, ‘I am Canadian.? […]
A little more than midway down and all of the way west in the ‘mitten? part of Michigan lies Ottawa County. This county is rich in its farming tradition. And, just like in our area, those once rich in farming, sooner or later become rich in housing developments. Some, like the eco-terrorists of the Earth […]
Call me a flabby-armed girly man. Call me kooky. Call me naive. Call me a puddin? head — call me what you will, but, were I living in California and had to vote for governor, I’d cast my vote for ye-old muscle head, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Go ahead. Yuck it up, if you must. But, damn […]
Somewhere in the distance I can hear a freckle-faced kid wearing Catholic School clothes repeating the Mazda mantra. ‘Zoom, zoom, zoom . . .? This in tandem with a mini-van?! Go figure! The first thing I noticed about the MPV — after its stylish design — was its get-up-and-go. Here’s what the muckity-mucks at Mazda […]
