I need a break – we all need a break – from the election, so today I’m going to write about jungle gyms, specifically the one in a black and white photo – circa 1920s or so - someone posted to Facebook the other day. You should see this thing. It’s a lawyer’s dream and an … [Read more...]
Surveyin’ Da Situation: Why don’t rural areas get any respect?
By John Matonich I guess it’s time for me to go on a little rant - not that I am known for that (yeah, right!). I simply can’t help it after reading an article on the “interweb” (as the Fast and Furious guru, Richard Rowlings would call it). It was a great article about who … [Read more...]

Come Heller high water … the September 28th edition
Come Heller high water … Well, that was fun. Monday's debate was essentially a box of Twinkies, delicious in that fake, artificial way but totally devoid of substance or nutritional value. To her credit, Hillary let Trump play the fool, and she merely pivoted off that. If he … [Read more...]

Come Heller high water … the September 20th edition
Come Heller high water … What’s it going to take in this country before police rules of engagement are changed and body cameras are mandatory? The video of the Tulsa police essentially executing an unarmed black man whose car had broken down was stunning to say the least. … [Read more...]
The Monday Brenda: The importance of being an earnest grandmother
I’m a new grandmother. And it’s a little weird. Not bad, actually it feels great, but a little weird. I still miss my grandmothers. Fiercely some days. They were a huge and important part of my life. My grandmothers were as different as night and day. One a prim, proper … [Read more...]
