Charles Pelkey, a state legislator and attorney in Laramie, put a story on Facebook about the pitfalls of being a grown-up adult in today’s society: “A bit of an existential crisis: I stopped by my favorite liquor store for a bottle of wine. A couple of folks were sitting at the bar as I ordered the Pinot Noir I planned to enjoy with dinner. One of them turned to me and asked ‘are you a lawyer?’ “’Yes. Yes, I am,’ I replied, perhaps thinking I had another client in the hopper. “Cool,” said...

Many years ago I missed attending one of my high school proms. One of my best friends, Gary, and I were dating the same girl. Unfortunately for me, he asked her out first. Since I didn't have a back-up girlfriend, I didn't have a date. On the night of the prom, another friend, Butch, also didn't have a date. Both of us losers decided to go to a movie together. After the movie, Butch and I were driving around in my 1950 Ford. You can imagine how many years ago this must have been. I am still feeling sorry for myself. We drove by the school where...
Hello Banner County and Good morning to you all! Here is hoping that everyone had a really nice 4th of July weekend. The weather sure was perfect for picnics, camping, boating, swimming, campfires and fireworks. We had a perfect spot at the lake and enjoyed family and friends. Some folks close to us had a big ‘ole white bulldog named Spud, and he was fun too. He liked to get in the water about as deep as I do. The rain held off, and we are thankful that it did, because Sunday evening it s...
Saturday evening was loud, bright and happy in Albin. For a few hours, the barbeque grill warmed our tummies, the fireworks scared the blues away, and family and friends around us made us remember how fortunate we are to live in America. The Johnson family was fortunate to receive another beauty into their family. Friday, July 3, Steven and Amanda Johnson welcomed five pound four ounce Olivia Rose to their family. Grandparents Lon and Janet Johnson of Albin; great-grandparents, Richard and...

1 Years Ago February 4, 1915 Change in Post We are thinking seriously of making a change in the Post by cutting out the four pages of ready print and giving only the four pages of home print. If we do this we will continue the $1.00 subscription rate. On account of the advanced price of ready prints, if we continue it we would be forced to again raise the subscription to $1.50. We believe our readers are not materially interested in the patent side as they get most of this foreign news in the other papers they take. On account of close times...
I would like to thank everyone involved in making last week’s Panhandle No-till Partnership’s field days a success. I would like to especially thank Mark Betson, Mark and Pat Ernest, Bob Gifford, and Jack Revelle for hosting these field days on their farms. I would also like to thank the University of Nebraska Panhandle Research and Extension Center, and specifically Dr. Cody Creech and Dr. Karla Jenkins, for hosting our tour group at the UNL High Plains Ag Lab. I’m always amazed when I drive...
If you are from the East Coast and miss those summer clam bakes at the beach, or someone from the west who has never had the opportunity to attend a clam bake, and don’t know what you have been missing, you’re in for a treat. You no longer need the East Coast, or a beach for that matter, to enjoy a good old fashioned New England clam bake. There is now a way to bring the east to the west, minus hauling all of the food to the beach, digging a big pit and fighting the wind to keep a fire lit. Best of all, you won’t be cleaning sand out of every...
