? Now that so many are using hand-held devices, no one reports UFOs. ? Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, ‘I think I’ll squeeze one of these dangling things and drink whatever comes out? ? I suppose because I drink only black tea, some will call me racist. Brother-in-law […]
Many of us know people, who because of age or health, have had their driving privileges removed. I have never given this a thought, until a brain-dead decision I made recently. I left the hatch-back door of my mini-van up while it was parked in my garage. But unfortunately the 2-car garage door was also […]

Her left eye is still a mixture of mostly purple with some yellowish and reddish colors mixed in. […]

Small towns like ours seem especially earnest and willing to participate in this observance. I haven’t missed many Memorial Day dedications, speeches, and parades in my many years […]
