Last week I told you all not to pump and dash — don’t steal gas. I also opined about monster trucks sucking up the supply and driving up costs. So, I figured since I called out the Hummer/Navigator/Escalade drivers, I thought I would be lambasted by them. Like most of my assumptions, I was wrong. […]
You know and I know gas prices in these parts are, well, in a word sucky. According to AAA.com, the statewide average cost for a Michigan gallon of gas in January 2007 was $2.11 (ah, the good ol? days). By the end of February the cost had crept up to $2.307 per gallon (still palatable). […]
In years past I have gotten all mushy when talking about the wonderfulness of moms. I still am thankful for my very own and for Jennie, mother for Shamus and Sean. The boys are very lucky they have Jennie to balance out the goofiness I bring to the parenting table. That said, I figured 2007 […]
Yikes. Who woulda? thunk a simple little column about the changing times, riding bikes and wearing helmets, would have brought so much mail. I guess I am doing my part to educate the community on this very important issue. First, let me say to some: relax. My boys, were they ever allowed to ride on […]

It is a parent’s job to worry about their offspring. You worry about their friends. You worry when they don’t talk or walk as soon as other kids. You worry about the size of their head. Worry, worry, worry. Well, since little Sean Rush turned seven this past St. Patrick’s Day, I have at least […]
Well, spring has sprung, and I hope everybody’s Easter was merry and bright . . . I mean, white . . . would you believe, snow covered? Aw-heck. Dang blab it! I hope you all stayed warm and didn’t have to shovel too much snow. * * * I save up reader e-mail and once […]
By Don Rush Youths who grew up in the Clarkston Area in the 1970s, ?80s and ?90s lost a friend and booster last week, with the passing of Raymond Charles Davis, Sr. Mr. Davis, who had been ill for about a year, died April 5, 2007, at the age of 69. He was an advocate […]
I guess I really am a cranky white guy — wife Jen, tells me so, reminding too, that I am old. (So I got that going for me . . .) Being a Cowg (Cranky old, white guy) I get a little wigged out when thrown in with a bunch of teenagers. My ‘Spidy? senses […]
