  • View from the North 40: The tick tic revisited: I hope it's not an annual thing

    Pam Burke|Updated May 20, 2022

    A tic is a frequent unconscious quirk of behavior, and a tick is a hard-to-kill, blood-sucking, parasitic arachnid that causes you to unconsciously and repeatedly scratch your head and body. Tic and tick sound exactly alike. Coincidence? I think not. I wasn’t going to write about ticks. I swear. I’m pretty sure I wrote a column about them last year. I had this whole thing about body part discoveries planned out for today. Brand new body parts. Imagine that. Then the ticks star...

  • On Second Thought: The Good Guys Caucus

    Will Rawn|Updated May 20, 2022

    Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., recently quipped that it is amazing the Congressional approval rating ever rises to the height of 19 percent. It is not good when only 19 percent of American voters trust Congress to do what needs doing. When people lose faith in government, they are likely to turn to some demagogue who promises to fix everything those weaklings in government are messing up. Unfortunately, authoritarian leaders (aka demagogues) have a history of making things even...

Riding with the owner one day, he pointed out that when he rode with his Winchester, the coyotes took off at his approach. But, he pointed out, the various Angus and longhorns he was raising did not - and even the calves tended to be...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated May 20, 2022

    You know, Lord, most of us believe that the Bible is Your inspired word and the foundation of our life and faith, but our behavior sometimes denies this. We have traditionally devalued history into "back then" which has nothing to do with today. Somehow the point is missing that it is false to think that each person can decide what is true for themselves. The Bible is neither fiction nor textbook fact; it is a story that is true - it tells us who we are and who You are, God....
