Phool. Fool. Phuul. No matter how you spell it, there’s still no fool like an old fool. Rearrange yourself while I tell you just one of my foolish experiences. Some weeds at the office needed their growth stopped. I measured off six ounces of RoundUp in the provided cup, took the sprayer to the hose […]
I make a lot of smart-aleck remarks to strangers. And, thankfully, I usually get a smile. I saw a woman in a grocery store with an overflowing basket of goods. I asked, ‘Have you got room for anything else?? She smiled, ‘Hopefully, only one more thing.? At a plant sale I saw a woman with […]
The most knowledgable person I know when it comes to state of Michigan politics is Richard Milliman. He writes a weekly column, The Almanac, which appears in several newspapers. Dick has been a friend of mine of over 40 years. He’s owned several newspapers, dailies and weeklies, and still has some, though officially retired. Early […]

CCES can figure your household emissions I want to revisit the carbon credit program I mentioned in last week’s Jottings.

I’m sure I’ve missed opening Michigan’s trout fishing season, but I can’t remember it. It’s been a ritual, a habit and magnet to the north.

Jim’s Jotting’s will return next week!
