All waters are different, and expectedly, the fish available in each one are different as well. Not so much in their general characteristics — big fish still eat little fish, or at least littler things, and are affected by environmental changes — but the crappies in one lake might be ...
As I sat waiting for a local parade to begin, it became apparent that even in the crowded heat of the day, people helped each other to be comfortable. It was very comfortable sitting in my favorite coffee shop's outdoor patio and watching the interaction of the folks around me. People moved closer together so others could be in the shade. They formed places for people to have a space to sit. They watched and protected the little toddlers running along the sidewalk. Even in the heat, we helped each other. One of the events during the cities summer festival was that local organizations ...
You are going to have a chance to cast a ballot in November to start the process to get the United States out of this corrupt despicable administration. First, Michelle Fischbach needs to be voted out of office. She is responsible for doing nothing when not a single soybean was sold to China for ten months.

A conviction in this area has had little or no impact on this man’s treatment of women. He continues to exhibit all the qualities of a woman hater in his ...
Re: July 31, 2026 Independent) This letter is directed to those who might be attending the open house meetings Aug. 4-13 to discuss Xcel’s proposed 765,000-volt transmission line going across southern Minnesota. This project needs two permits from the state to start. 1. A ‘Certificate of Need’ from the P.U.C. stating why the project is needed. 2. A ‘Route Permit’; which is why they are holding these public meetings. They need public feed back concerning adjustments before they submit it in February 2027. So why is the line needed? They say because the coal fired ...
The joys of home ownership are infinite. And by “joys” I mean “pain-in-the-patootie maintenance issues.” If a wife says to her husband, “I’m thinking about painting the living room,” what she really means is, “I want you to paint the living room.” The husband might reply, ...
