My good friend Robert Honstrom, who does very nice things at LifeCare Roseau Manor informed me last week that the biggest draw among the elderly residents is the Court Report in the Roseau Times-Region. "They read it first," he said. Or, he reads it to them. Apparently, Badge #108, aka State Trooper Sylvia Maurstad, is followed devotedly by these old duffers. Of course, if I were an old codger in the nursing home, I'd skip the obits and see who's been ticketed for speeding, blew too high on a...
Normally after Christmas I’m ready for Spring, but after this week I am really READY! Last night I went to bed around 10 p.m. because I like sleep, and I get up at 5 a.m. on Thursday’s to finish my writing and get going on the RTR.

Trump’s halo will never shine so bright to hurt your eyes. Let he without sin cast the first stone. Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky is c...

I respond to your comments (using your words) “as a ‘born again’ Evangelical” who has been a lifelong “white republican fundamentalist”. You bring out some excellent points, “that Jesus nailed it”, quoting L...
