Figuring it all out

Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Who’s telling the truth? Who’s lying? And why? Some things and some people we used to think we could count on have let us down. Some institutions have let us down.

It’s a slow day, okay?

“Puff Daddy”, RIP

Most of you already know this, but the D’Arbonne fishing community has lost another good one. This happens more often than I’d like. I can’t always write about it. But this time I can.

Honor sacrifice

Memorial Day is Monday, May 25. The day is observed honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Too many people don’t understand that today.

Happy Mother’s Day

“There is nothing better for a person than that they should eat and drink and find enjoyment in their toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God, for apart from Him who can have enjoyment?” — Ecclesiastes 2:24 *************** My Mom didn’t have an easy life.
