Our ‘deteriorating electrical distribution system?

Last week I surmised I may have been transmuted into some sort of electrical super-freak — in eight days I lost two computers, a TV and a car battery. The only thing in common with these electrical devices, as far as I could tell, was they all were touched by me. Gulp. I wondered what […]

Fireworks, the future, lies and innuendo

I know, I know . . . I am late on the whiner’s wagon in regards to crying about the excessive displays of selfishness taking over Michigan. Of course, I am talking about the evening hour shenanigans and fireworks. Come on already folks, July 4 was half a month ago! I know the state still […]

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 . […]

Hot times in the city

When I got to the office this morning (Monday), the green-lit, digital clock on my vehicle’s instrument cluster read 6:26. Next to that, was displayed the external temperature: 60. When I got out to get into the office I actually shivered. Hot damn, I shivered! A 40 degree swing (dip) in temperature meant living was […]

‘Eddie Bird’s seen a lot in his life?

‘Who am I? I am just a poor boy from Lake Orion. Most of the kids around here from high school just call me Uncle Eddie. My family name is Mark Edward Bird. And my bill collectors don’t know who to send things to.? I was in Lake Orion with Eddie, to listen, ask a […]

Holy Pass The Geritol, Batman and start living goodly

A quick look on-line and I found in 1907 Oklahoma became the 46th state in the Union after the Indian and Oklahoma territories were merged. I discovered the United States proclaimed to be protector of the Dominican Republic and invaded Honduras. That year, the Detroit Tigers lost the World Series to the Chicago Cubs, four […]

Things sure have changed in 236 years

This past weekend with fireworks and much merriment, we celebrated the declaration of our country’s independence. Not, as some get confused, our being independent from the old world’s superpower, England. On July 4, 1776 we merely announced to the world that we were free and were prepared to back up our words with action. ‘When […]

Healing Touch with Janet Tait and BB gun justice, together in one column!

So, in April I wrote about this newspaper’s efforts to support local businesses with our free ‘hippie? networking groups, the Coffee Club. In that column first published on April 25, 2012, was this one paragraph with 34 words. The paragraph: ‘Nor would I have met healing touch practitioner Janet Tait (her biz, Wellness Enhancement is […]

Around the community with Don

So, what has been going on with your hero (that would be me lest I am mistaken)? I have been quite busy over at Casa d’Rush and here at the newspaper. Why just last week I attended the first meeting of something that could be a grassroots campaign to sweep across the nation, no less. […]
