When I first read about the Cornavirus health issue, it was on the other side of the world. At that time a health problem in China didn’t concern me. I know something about China for when I was a youngster, I liked to dig holes. And when I was digging holes my mother warned me to be careful. She warned if I was careless and dug a deep hole I might strike a Chinaman with the point of my shovel. I had visions of an angry Chinaman with blood streaming down his face jumping out of the hole and chasing me. Dad never told me to look out for an a...
Hey, you out there buying all the toilet paper rolls, wearing face masks and filling your shelves with bottles of hand sanitizers, let’s not panic!

The recent stock market drop was first blamed on the Coronavirus but now declining oil prices are also being blamed. T...

What fun to happen upon a cattle drive on a windy and sunny afternoon. A rider on a horse, a 4-wheeler and another 4-wheeled vehicle kept them moving. Being cattle, there were always a few straying into a field or into a patch of trees. One of the three herders would whirl off to force the strays back on the road. It was amazing how quickly the fat black cattle moved down the road and yet not running; their focus was on a truck, apparently with feed aboard, to entice the critters to follow. Unlike the western movies, there was no shouting, no...
This week is the anniversary of the 2019 Bomb Cyclone. Perhaps you’ve thought of that, perhaps you haven’t. I think this event for Nebraskans will forever be etched in our minds.

Some experienced flooding in homes, fields and property. Some of us housed family and friends. Many of us found different routes with closed roads. Many of us helped others in the aftermath and donat...
