This year has already been pretty strange as far as the weather goes. It's January and nearly tee shirt weather. One day it seems like we're really going to have a good winter, snow and all, then the next several days are beautiful. It's hard to believe it actually is winter. Seems more like spring to me. And that turns my mind to starting plants. I just hope we don't get the fluctuating temperatures like we did last spring. It's not quite time yet, but it is time to start getting the supplies...

Most pilots were wealthy Ivy League students who were drawn by the adventure and romance of the new form of warfare. One Ivy Le...

Parents, grandparents, boyfriends and girlfriends sit in the stands and bleachers and watch their loved ones run up and down the court or field or the diamond. We understand the physical dangers that our athletes face and the definite benefits that come from good, safe and healthy competition. But what person would think up a game as inherently dangerous as football. Or baseball where we let one person throw a large rock at 70 to 80 miles an hour toward someone they love.

Last week’s article was probably an eye opener for many people. Those who don’t follow politics regularly most likely wouldn’t know much, if anything about the Democrat platform.
