It's one of the benefits of not being able to remember things. Third time is the charm, or that's what is said. I hope it is true because last Tuesday the eye doctor tried again for the third time. He...

Tuesday will be the third operation on my eye. The doc said he thought he could make it better, so here we go again. He could be right, because he said this operation will make the last payment on...

Now let me see, if I run the stop sign, and the guy coming up to the yield sign doesn't yield, will I be at fault for running the stop sign, or will the other driver be at fault for failing to yield?...

If you said Kamala Harris, you win the prize. I hadn't heard anything from her for so long, I thought Joe had traded her to the gypsies for some goats. Our national legislators suck. With a shutdown...

The card read "Old Time Tent Revival." I have been humming "Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show" (Neil Diamond) all week. My mind conjured up visions of snake handlers and live chicken sacrifices....

The squirrels must be expecting a cold winter. They're gathering more nuts than usual. Yesterday, my brother disappeared. I didn't make it to the fair this year. Old, lazy, tired, or a combination of...

Last Sunday, Dad, brothers Jack and Jeff, and I went to the Smok Shak for dinner. The waitress was cute, the food was okay, and somebody else paid, so I was happy with it all. When we finished...

I hope everyone has a great time. Please plan a family gathering, because life being what it is, you never know when the last time you will see each other will be. This will be a busy month. The...

I and two other sweeties were born on Aug. 2. Josh and Jaylyn (grandchildren), and great grandson Drake were all August babies. That was the good of it. The bad of it is my lovely bride of 56 years...

I am so old I remember when saving your country, respecting the flag and obeying the law were considered good character traits. There is a Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys tribute celebrating 90...

Tuesday, Aug. 8, from 4 to 7 p.m. is the meet and greet for local schools. All are included but the high school. This is really pretty important to do because you get to size up the teachers and also...

What started it all was my friend, Alfred Perks, passed away at the salvage up the street from me while picking tomatoes. First let me say if you can pass away doing something you enjoy doing, it is...

I have a way to make yourselves richer and help your fellow man. Telemarketers have overrun our lives. Nearly every call is to figure out a way to separate you from your money or defraud Medicare....

Happy anniversary, Cleo On July 17 we have made it 56 years in holy wedlock. Three things that you need to know to last that long: First, don't worry about how good the neighbor's wife or husband...

Here’s the rest of the story. I got several calls from companies wanting to send me Covid tests for free. I told them every time in a loud clear voice NOT to send me anything and NOT to bill M...

I probably say about the same things every year about Father's Day, but it is always true. First let me say Happy Father's Day to my dad James Scribner. My brothers and I are so proud he picked us for...

I hope the Nescatunga Arts Festival worked out great and all had a good time. I haven't heard any figures on the crowds, but I hope they were good. Partially because I am old, I hate changes in tradit...

The Senior Citizens Center is in desperate need of four volunteers (one a day) to deliver to home bound clients. If interested please call 580-327-1822. If you have some time, this is a very...

There are many activities to be had everywhere. We had a gathering Saturday for the family, because that's when we all could be together. I hope your families can have some quality time together, too....

It does not sound like much on an $80 water bill ($4.80) but combined with the big electric and natural gas bills the gutless bums at the Corporation Commission let them have as raises, it adds up. I...

I hope every mother has a great day. Make the call and tell your mother, grandmother, mother-in-law or sister what a great influence they are in everyone's lives. The sometimes forgotten person is the...

If I had known all I had to do to get it to rain was to bring in the car crusher, I would have had them here long ago. It was a very good rain and didn't all fall in just a little bit. I'm afraid it...
