When trees were brought to Red Willow County
(Column ~ 06/11/21)
I am a confessed garden hose mender. Doesn’t matter if it was an expensive or a cheap hose to begin with, my irritation at having something I purchased not last more than a year or two is unequaled. Unfortunately, in most instances the hose displays the hole in a spraying fountain as far away from any shade as possible. ...

I had the honor of working with Newt Gingrich on a video back in the late eighties, and have been a disciple ever since. I was just a snot-nosed college kid working on a state senate campaign at the time and was told to show up at a given place on a given date. I honestly didn’t know what I was there for, but it really influenced the trajectory of my life...
