On Friday, I got a text from a gal with an 810 area code who wanted to buy an item I had for sale on Facebook. Then she wanted me to give her back the six digit code she would send me to see if I was legitimate. I texted her back that I couldn't find...

Halfway through deer season for those lucky enough to live in the nine day zone. Already stories of the big one that got away and even more of the ones that didn’t are going around. This old man’s fire for the hunt would barely make a pilot lig...

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Some of us find that disgusting, nauseating, and just plain nasty. With two months to go til the big day it seems a bit early. One more time, where is the global warming? Good tracking snow for deer...

What a beautiful fall we have had so far. Anyone that is not done with the harvest this year might want to consider downsizing. The monsoons that some of us had to deal with in past years have not happened this year. The about fifty years in...

How many people would trust a person that owned a dog that has bitten eleven people? Commander fits right in with the Biden crime family. That beautiful dirty dog is probably the one that left his cocaine in the White House. If it was not a member...

Over the last half century or so people have gotten to be on average about two inches taller. The companies that build our ladders have picked up on this, and now put the steps in our ladders about two inches further apart. They are calling this...

What a beautiful fall we are having this year! Google confirmed that an Indian summer occurs only after a killing frost. There is no killing frost forecast in the near future so it is just an extension of our summer. With some nice rains to keep...

The soybean harvest is going full speed ahead. Getting them in the bin is a good thing. A bi-product of the harvest are the millions of Japanese beetles. They are not a good thing. They were imported to help control aphids in the beans. Now they are...

The sun is now unofficially halfway back on its march back south. From its northernmost point in June to southernmost in December, it travels a little over a mile and a half on the section line to the east. With three months to go until the shortest...

The school buses are back on our roads once again. They are carrying our countries most important and prized possessions that represent our future. It has been fifty-three years since this old coots last first day of school. This student was never...

Waking up in the morning is almost always a good way to start the day. Another day living the dream has totally different meaning to some than it does for others. Living the dream for what is now estimated as many as twenty million invaders that come...

While sitting on the porch at the shack up at my dad’s the other day I heard what sounded like the hum of a very large plane off in the distance. The hum turned out to be a huge hornet. It flew in just a few feet from me, grabbed a fly out of midair...

Here we go, it is the start of another day living the dream. We have got to the point where you have to ask yourself, would you hire a person who hates animals to care for your dog? Then why elect people that hate our country? I don’t know who w...

As the Minnesota American Legion division 2 baseball director, I want to thank the community of Roseau, the Roseau baseball association, and the Roseau American Legion for hosting the 2023 Minnesota American Legion division 2 state baseball...

It is just another day in our world of “you can’t make this stuff up”. The democrat socialist party is not only the nastiest, laws for thee but not for me, party in our countries history, but maybe also the most predictable. Those nasty conse...

The fair has came and gone one more time. After more than sixty years of attending it is sad to say that most of the thrill is gone. Bah humbug if you will. None the less there are a lot of people that put a lot of their heart and soul into it. That...

I work at CareerForce in Thief River Falls, and I have a few questions that could change your life– and the lives of others in our community. Are you looking for work? Do you know someone who is? If so, it’s important to know there are many emp...

We are so blessed to have LifeCare Medical Center here for our medical needs! Many may not often think of this blessing until in dire need. Recently, I had to use their emergency Services. I deeply thank the professional staff that cared for me, from...

The longest day of the year or official first day of summer is now three weeks in the past. The Fair will be here next week and fall will not be far behind. Sunrise sunset swiftly go the days. One season following another if you will. With life...

The DNR and Roseau River Watershed are planning to build a dike on the north and east side of the river. The weirs would be at elevations of 1034. The dikes on the south and west side of the river are only at elevations of 1031 1/2. Building the...

Sunday, a lazy, relaxing day, sleeping in, hanging out, going out for breakfast!! What! Nothing was open on a Sunday morning. No place for churchgoers, the average Joe, to go and get a bit of BREAKFAST. I hear shop local, buy local. Well, when there... Full story

In recent weeks you may have noticed, the sky is no longer blue, stars are harder to see at night, and landscapes are discolored by a grayish hue. Wildfires in Canada and northern Minnesota are worse than ever and it has real consequences for our...

I just received the June 17, 2023 edition of the paper and I enjoyed the article about Earl's Drive In and the fact that it started in 1956. I thought it would have been more interesting if there would have been additional historical information...

Two hundred forty-seven years ago, in 1776, after affixing his signature to the Declaration of Independence, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail, explaining the significance of what he and the founding fathers had done. In his letter, he stated, “I...

To say our moisture so far this summer has been sporadic is maybe an understatement. It is kind of like Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. “Are you feeling lucky?” Some have gotten too lucky and are almost floating when a few miles away their nei...
