  • View from the North 40: Maybe read books - not minds

    Pam Burke, Humor columnist|Updated Aug 12, 2016

    Back in the dark ages when I was young and the internet wasn’t even a twinkle in Al Gore’s eye, my contemporaries and I would imagine what it would be like to read people’s minds.

We dismissed their warnings....

    John Bruington|Updated Aug 12, 2016

    Mark 7:1-13 Out our way, nearly every cowboy carries a rope on his saddle. Those who follow this column know I do, and it has come in handy ... especially the time I left my boot in the mud and had to have Goliath help me haul it out. Tying my rope to the boot, taking a few turns around the horn, and then backing up "old Doc" in my stocking feet while my pard Charlie watched and laughed, I got that boot out and eventually back on.
