The Owl’s Nest

For those of you who read the “Tragedy” blog of last Wednesday, keep your eyes open for the continuation of that story in a series called “The Owl’s Nest”. With the help of a H.S. Classmate, Tarkio College Alumni, and other Local sources, the mystery of the recently found bodies will continue. It probably doesn’t

Freedom of Speech!

I am pretty sure that when the founding fathers of our country were writing the Constitution they had a few different ideas about some of the circumstances for which the “rules” were written. Let’s take Freedom of Speech i.e. The First Amendment. At the time, I believe they were focused on the rights of Americans

Karma

Do you believe in karma? Lots of ways to describe the phenomenon. “What goes around comes around”, “No good deed goes unpunished”, “You get back what you give”, etc. Basically, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, especially if you have it coming. So, let’s talk about our economic stimulus. The money

GOOD FRIDAY and SATURDAY (click here)

If you didn’t know anything about religion, “Good Friday” would seem like the ultimate oxymoron. How could the day a man gets beaten, humiliated, crucified and killed be called “Good”? But for those of us who do believe, and paid attention in Sunday School, we realize that if Jesus had not died on the cross,

Melancholia (click here)

Such has been the past month. Trying to find a way to see the lighter side of things can sometimes be a challenge. Trying to find something positive to focus your mind on rather than falling deeper into your desperate thoughts of doom and gloom. The pandemic, politics, violence, disease and inequities flood our everyday

Gun Control or Media Control (click here)

I guess the title kind of gave away my blog today. Like everyone in the country I have been watching the news about the mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado last week. It is absolutely sickening that 10 people lost their lives needlessly at the hands of another deranged whack job that owns a weapon. As

Tuesday is Cliche’ Day (click here)

Definition: NOUN: Cliche’ – a trite, stereotyped expression; a sentence or phrase, usually expressing a popular or common thought or idea, that has lost originality, ingenuity, and impact by long overuse, as sadder but wiser, or strong as an ox. After looking up the definition, I feel bad for using them my entire life and

First Day of Spring! Time To Renew! (click here)

I am probably the world’s least likely person to talk about religious topics, but today I am going to mention a few things that I have been thinking about. First of all, I went to church this morning and as usual our pastor was amazing. She is the most “real” clergy person I have ever

Happy Saturday – Just Two Days till the Ides of March (click here)

Ides of March! Bad day for Caesar, even though it could have been just preview of the year 2020. We all know what it feels like to have been bitten in the asp for an entire year. On to better things! The congress and our new President have approved the Covid-19 relief bill. I heard

Thursday! One Year Later (click here)

Yes, one year ago today they announced that we were “officially” in a pandemic. Who would have thought that we would lose 525,000+ people in one very long year? Hopefully, we will never see this kind of catastrophe ever again (even though, the scientist say this could be just the beginning, but what do they
