It is what it is
I’ve had some interesting responses to my first two columns. The first
had to do with Editor Bob. The reader wrote… “I so appreciate Bob's
efforts, but I do miss his former "sock-it-to-'um" editorials.
Perhaps you are the one to pick up where he left off.” Not sure if
that’s a compliment, but I appreciated her saying it. What I told her
was that I thought...

Sleeping Accommodations
© By Abraham Lincoln
The bed I slept in was iron, rusted here and there; but some chipped,
white, paint remained. Instead of a set of box springs and a mattress
we had a set of flat springs that hooked into the iron bed rails and if

newspapers to keep the cold air from...

Old Dogs, Children, and Two Boost Cell Phones
By Mona Lease
I woke up Sept. 20th with Tom T. Hall singing "Old Dogs, Children, and
Watermelon Wine" in my head. Lots of unusual stuff goes on inside my
head - this was most unusual. In 2009, I started Doula training. Doula
is old Greek for "She who helps." It mostly relates to childbirth

Strangulation by Union
by John Stossel
The Chicago teachers strike is over, but the public didn't win. Schools
will still transfer bad teachers to other schools because it's nearly
impossible to fire them. When bad teachers go from school to school,
principals call it "the dance of the lemons." It would be funny if
those teachers didn't slowly wreck children's lives. The basic issue
