Just today I saw an ad on television for a new truck – a fine looking new truck with, I’m sure, all the bells and whisltes one could possibly want that promised to knock off eleven thousand dollars from the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). Eleven thousand dollars off! The actual MSRP was not mentioned,…

I didn’t watch the second pair of Democrat Party primary debates. I wanted to, but I couldn’t. We have an antenna connected to our television.We don’t have cable or satellite.

Carol Boeddeker-Genet, who wrote the continuing column “Dogwood Ramblings” in the Douglas County Herald, passed away at the end of June. I only met her a very few times. She was nice enough to volunteer her home as a voting venue for those of us in the western edge of the county. For us, almost…

President Trump was absolutely correct! During an interview with George Stephanopoulos, the President was asked someting like: If you or your campaign were to be contacted by a foreign government or its agents saying they had “bad” information on a political opponent, would you listen to them or call the FBI? Before I repeat what…
