    Jim Webb

    In my office, there is a sign that says, “In This Place We Always Salute Our Flag, Support Our Troops, Buy American, Say Merry Christmas, Say One Nation Under God, Respect Our Law Enforcement,” it then states at the bottom, “If This Offends You, There’s the Door,” in small print, “As We are Obviously Politically

    Depending on when you get your paper, Halloween is officially behind us, or about to be. That means we now have a little bit of time to just be before the holiday season begins. I know that all the stores would have you believe that the holidays are right on top of us, but let’s

  • Halloween Nostalgia0

    Andrea McElroy

    When we lived on Roosevelt Ave., my brother and I each had front windows to our sweet little ranch house. My dad had got us each a pumpkin that was flat-faced and hung in the window with a suction cup. The pumpkins smiled big from our bedroom windows as strangers drove by for a Halloween

  • ’Tis the Season for Things that go Bump in the Night0

    Dave Bellomo

    Whether you are a true believer in the paranormal or a hardline skeptic, no one can deny that some things are a mystery. Maybe you have an old house and hear voices at night. Maybe your keys aren’t where you left them the night before. (If you are like me, you are just getting forgetful.)

    Kenzy has been ready for Halloween since the middle of August. She couldn’t wait to decorate her room and anything else she could get her hands on. Her favorite is setting the table for dinner.

  • “Tis the Seasons”0

    Ken Hunter

    Moving into the early fall period can be a real dilemma for people like me who love hunting and fishing. Hunting seasons are underway, and some great fishing can still be available. Case in point: I was talking with an avid trout angler recently, and he told me a few weeks back he picked up

  • Little Thieves and Hairy Cats: Weird Animal-Word Origins0

    Joseph W. Smith III

    One of the many favorites on my weird-word list is the now-archaic term camelopard. Pronounced “kuh-MEL-uh-pard,” it blends “camel” and “leopard.” The word is a long-ago British attempt to name a then-newly-discovered beast shaped liked the former and colored like the latter. Go ahead — try a guess. (Answer provided later.) In the meantime, after

    One of the sensations of the current college football season has been the performance of the Colorado Buffalos team, which has had several poor seasons lately.

    Deep breath. Ahhhhhh, the “ber” months! Here all over again. My favorite four months of the year! The crispness of the air will soon be with us. We will need to bundle up in a warm sweater or hoodie in the early mornings. Leaves will begin to change. Bright colors will paint our county in

  • A Kid’s August Christmas0

    Scott Lowery

    Most parents will remember the moment of their child’s first few Christmas experiences. Their anticipation, excitement, and pure wide-eye joy when they awoke and saw the treasures Santa Claus had left under the tree. As they grew older, Christmas was still a special occasion, but it didn’t have that magic aura of their younger years.

    In the real estate world, other than ‘sale is final,’ ‘location, location, location’ seems to be the magic words. Where, as opposed to what is often the sought-after trump card.
