If the Green-Peacers had their way there would be no industrial parks, subdivisions or commercial developments. The world would be nothing but weeds, vines, trees, swamps and the nonhuman living things that enjoy that kind of life. Some of these people are pushing for taxes to buy land to stop over development of land, thus […]
Initially the networks probably thought a second person in the television booth at sports events would add insight to games. The number two person could enlighten newcomers to the fact pro basketball players wear those extremely long and loose shorts because most have ugly thighs. And football neophytes would learn that a halfback is really […]
During the televised funeral services for President Reagan last Wednesday night, a telemarketer called to tell me about a great carpet cleaning deal. What a country! Another dog lover sent this quote: ‘It’s impossible to keep a straight face in the presence of one or more puppies.? The Detroit News headed many of its stories […]
The editor said I could write about this topic if I kept it light and educational. Okay. The topic is colonoscopy. It shouldn’t be boring, but it is, in a way. While waiting in the hospital to be prepped (get naked) for the grand search, they put you in the endoscopy room. Get it? ENDoscopy […]

Granddaughter Savannah Speed, 8, got her first gift from a boy — a pencil. Twins Haley and Trevor Speed, who will be five August 30, weren’t asked, but, […]
By the time you read this we will have returned form our annual trout fishing trip in the UP. You will not see our experiences – venture – outing – vacation – weekend retreat – whatever, covered in fishing magazines, sports pages or Michigan Outdoors TV show. First of all, we do not plan on […]
