What does a bear do in the woods?

While I am still gathering information on the good ol? boy network in Orion Township, real estate shenanigans and local residents getting thrown under the bus by the their elected officials, let’s go back in time. In 2004 I wrote this gem of a column. Enjoy. — Don * * * Let me start out […]

New group hopes to involve ‘everybody?

Orion Township resident Gigi Kreutzer had been looking for something to allow her and her daughter Willow to do something good in the community. About a year ago, by chance, she met Crystal Mosher — from Woman’s Life Insurance Society of Port Huron. Through that chance meeting and follow up meetings the two were able […]

Na-hay, Boo-Boo . . .

Like Yogi, son Shamus, 14, is smarter than the average bear. However, I am afraid to say, my oldest male cub has picked up at least one of Papa Bear’s bad habits — he likes to ‘collect? stuff other folks have discarded. I think he enjoys looking for things he can fix, salvage or sell. […]

R-e-s-p-e-c-t.

Sometimes all signs point to one thing. Something. A thing you’re ‘sposed to do or say. And sometimes that something is to do not a gol-darned thing at all. Unfortunately for you all, this isn’t one of those do-nothing times. As it is many times with me, when the stars align themselves just right, it […]

The end of summer is upon us . . . and the start of school is near

My cell phone policy has evolved

On Aug 16, 2006 I wrote the following: I have had a cell phone now for a couple years, but don’t expect me to give you the phone number. Even if I like you. Also, don’t look for the number on the bottom of my business card. My cell phone isn’t really for talking. It […]

Gas prices really bum me out . . . so who do I blame?

Has anybody ever done a study of the infrastructure the American petroleum pipeline? I swear there is at least one a year that bursts, blows or leaks and it is always a fast acting leak, too. As soon as that sucker blows, prices jump 30 cents a gallon. What was it, last Thursday, that gas […]

I am shocked . . . or is it shocking?

Okay something weird is up. Maybe I should just call an astrophysicist or something; have things checked out. In the course of one week and one day, electrical devices connected to you know who (if you don’t know who, it’s me — your hero, Dandy Don Rush) have been crappin? out. Two Sundays ago . […]
