Finding homes for orphan documents
(Column ~ 11/26/22)
The phone rings at the Cape Girardeau County Archive Center. It's a Tuesday afternoon. I answer, seeing "Wireless Caller" on the ID screen, as usual, and not knowing any more than that.

Something to do
(Column ~ 11/26/22)
Here is an idea that might interest you or a young one in your life. I dug sweet potatoes from my garden a few weeks ago. I saved part of the last plant and stuck it in a clear glass jar with water to see what would happen. This is very easy to do. It's educational for children to watch how the leaves grow, but especially to see the tiny white roots appear and grow. ...

Gates, trails and windmills
(Column ~ 11/26/22)
Back when I was growing up, the worst seat you could have in a single bench seat pickup was the outside or door seat. Now down here in Missouri the best is the door seat, and the worst is the middle seat. But in Nebraska those who got the door seat opened gates and gates and more gates. Barbed wire gates. And back when I was little there weren't any gate openers or a leverage system to help unhook the gate and then hook it back up. You just did it by sheer muscle and grit. Wasn't any fun...

Why do Republicans want to be led by a victim?
