Watching television has gotten complicated. The price of cable and satellite connections continues to go up so some people are looking for something good but at a better price. There are other choices that may be cheaper they say, that I don’t understand. Alternatives include Hulu, Sling, YouTube, TV Live and Philo. Terms are used such as “streaming,” using “apps”in order to get hooked up....I have no idea what those terms mean.

In his more than a half-century affiliation with The Superior Express, Howard Crilly often wrote a column he titled “Among Ourselves.” In my growing up years, it was one of the first things I read when The Express arrived in the mail box about noon on Fridays. While searching for information for another story, I copied the following observations from his March 20 and 27, 1947 columns: One of the prettiest things is a pretty girl who doesnʼt know it. County Assessor Ira Adams told us the other day that fibbing to the assessor isnʼt going to be...
Q: Does the bible mention anything about transgender people? A: The most important verse to remember in regards to transgender people or anyone else is John 3:16. God has proven his love to the entire world by sending his Son to take the full penalty for our sins and offer us eternal life as a free gift. Other verses to consider are Psalm 16:11 and John 10:10, which tell us that God wants to bless us with abundant life. The guidelines for life we find in the Bible are designed to free us and enable us to live this blessed, abundant life. With...

It is partially responsible for what I write this week. Two items came to mind, both somewhat connected with the quote. Consider the following: 1: I received a nice letter from a reader a week or so ago. I tried to do a...
I saw the cutest little VW Beetle for sale the other day. It was lime green, with black and lime green leather interior and a sunroof. Needless to say, I dreamed and drooled over it for a few minutes. LOL! I have wanted a VW Bug or Beetle. They are just so cute. That made me think about how I have been severely spoiled over the last 10 to 15 years by not having any major car trouble. The first 10 years of my adult life were littered with one shoddy car after another. I can’t even remember how many times I was stuck on the side of the road in th...

Is our wheat condition because of drought, fertility or disease concerns or all the above?

So, if your wheat fields are turning yellow or dying, what are some of the causes? Let’s start with the obvious cause...
