Scammers have perfected the art of lying and deception. They prey upon the most innocent and caring people.

Unfortunately, I studied economics and finance, otherwise I could be comfortably sleepwalking like our current political leadership in Washington DC. They are passing bills that burden the national budget with trillions of dollars of debt. First, there was the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that was passed in March. There is also a proposed $2.5

Your teeth got a good workout. Yep, as a kid, you wanted those certain hard-to-find, favorite-player baseball cards but you didn’t want to be wasteful. Because you’d do anything to get the cards, you spent your change, hoped you’d be lucky, and you chewed a lot of gum. In the new book “Comeback Season” by

I was recently asked to tee it up in a few tournaments. I used to love golf, but now it’s totally different. I haven’t picked up a club in 2021. I’m not kidding. I don’t miss it — and I seriously can’t remember the last time I played my own ball. It has been a
As we head officially into summer, you have probably started gearing up for a season of family trips to the beach, getaways with friends, and weekends spent lounging at the pool or on the river. Regardless of your warm-weather plans, you’ll undoubtedly need two essentials: A hardworking sunscreen and a go-to (or three) bathing suits.

Another spring gobbler season has come to an end, and as always, some hunters have managed to fill their tags, and others, despite their efforts, were not successful.

In the United States, stroke affects more than 750,000 people each year. It’s the leading cause of adult disability and is the fifth-leading cause of death.

It all began as my friend, Walker, and I laid out plans for a spring bear hunt in the Clearwater Wilderness Area in the Idaho panhandle. We wanted to arrive in the state a few days early so we could wind down from the 35 plus hour drive from home. And we wondered what else

The recent Pennsylvania primary election was one of the most unusual in modern history for a number of reasons. The biggest was the constitutional amendments that were proposed (and which all passed), but also the wide scale insurgence against local officials, particularly for school board directors. The number of candidates running for these positions must

I cannot believe the 2021 Little League regular season is coming to an end. Time goes by fast when you are having some fun. OK. I might complain that baseball gets in the way. But it seems like Michelle, Jensen, and I are at the ball field every single night. My fishing has suffered greatly.
Summer weather is upon us, and with it comes a brand-new season of trends and ways of dressing. So often, summertime can be a challenge. It seems the daily highs go from 60 to 80 in a matter of weeks, making the lightweight knits and jeans of spring no longer sustainable during hot and humid
When I head out with my fishing rod in hand, my intentions, of course, are to encounter as many scaly creatures as possible — that is, the scaly creatures that are swimming beneath the surface I’m fishing over.
