Some of this is profound, some informative, some humorous, and some downright silly; enjoy. There was a study and scientists say swearing is actually a sign of more intelligence, not less. I doubt...

Dad turned 92 on April 8. He was at the salvage with other loafers, and we gave him the happy birthday song. I guess he still hears pretty good, because he didn't seem impressed with our singing...

I hope your family is gathering together for Easter Sunday. I also hope your kids got to hunt Easter eggs on Saturday with the fire department. When I used to take the grandkids it was always great...

One thing that you still need to do is mask up and wash your hands so as to not spread it to people that haven't gotten their shot yet. I just hope the shots are permanent and we don't have to repeat...

Pepe Le Pew (the girl-hugging skunk) was found dead in the middle of the highway. Witnesses said he mumbled something about never meaning to be anything but entertainment before running out on the...

It's time for the government-controlled clock. By the time you are reading this, the $1.9 trillion stimulus package may be in place. What a joke. The last round of stimulus checks saw the largest day...

Someone mentioned that I was going to tell about the proposed hunting bill, and didn't, so here we go. Rep. Justin Humphrey (R) introduced House Bill 1648, creating a "Bigfoot hunting season."...

Gone is the snow. Fifteen degrees below is a memory, and I haven't had to leave the faucets dripping all week. Jack and I dropped Dad off at the Kansas Star Casino and went to the pinball place...

We had record low temperatures and several days in single digits all day. I had some pipes freeze before I got the water to dripping, but luckily they thawed right out. It is hard to believe, but we w...

This week has several days that start at zero or below then only get into the 20s during the day. Be sure and leave the cabinet doors open so heat can get in and leave the faucets dripping a little....

The sign up to run for city council is this week. To all that have griped about the way the city does things, whether right or wrong, now is the time to get off your duff and see if you have what it...

He's busy changing lots of the things Trump had done. This isn't really a new concept because every new leader has done it since time began. Hopefully, he and his advisors had studied what he is...

I've heard this bull before. Impeachment? Let's make it across the board in Washington, D.C. I went to Ponca City to promote my economy last Wednesday. The only station my radio picked up well enough...

Concerned citizens, looters, rioters, and white supremacists descended on the capitol building Wednesday. To add insult to injury, our president either planned the attack, egged it on, or at the...

Over the last four years for good or bad you were the president, and unlike party conscious idiots I tried to give you the respect the office deserves. I defended you when you made stupid statements...

This is the first year in probably the last 40 that there was no Christmas breakfast. The festive mood was lost when I tested positive for the Covid. I thought I had a cold for a couple of days, then...

I hope it is good for you. If you want to give me a present, thank you. Either leave it on your porch or mine, and I will spray it with Lysol and then open it. I use peppermint scent, so the cookies...

My brother the conspiracy theorist says when you have major events like the Super Bowl everyone is watching them and not the lawmakers. This is when laws and bills are passed that do not benefit the A...

Buffalo had 13+ inches of snow. I liked our storm lots better. The only downside for me is the salvage is a quagmire for the crusher guys. They are doing a great job, but if they don’t hurry I may...

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, social distanced, keeping the family safe. Many thanks to all who cooked meals and made this a good Thanksgiving. Many of my figures in my pay increase rant came...

We are going to err on the side of caution and not gather the family this year. One possibility that sounds like fun is to have an outside celebration. If the Covid calms down and the weather is good...

Because of Trump and the Republicans, everyone has made so much money nobody needs to work, creating a help shortage. At least it seems that way if you are looking for help. Part of this shortage of...

Happy Birthday, Cleo! Monday is the wife's birthday. I’m not sayin’ she may be getting older, but she can remember when the rainbow was in black and white. Happy birthday to my most favorite...

Don't forget to turn back your clock one hour today. What a crock, more unwanted government control. Cleo wanted to vote early, so granddaughter Jennifer, Cleo and I went in Thursday. There was a...

The weatherman says we are going to have winter temperatures, rain, sleet, snow this week. Stay warm and dry. We watched the presidential debates Thursday evening. It was much tamer than the last...
