Multiple choice economy

This is a multiple choice quiz about our economy and the state of our nation. It includes lots of contradictory information and torturous logic. If that sounds like an impossible test, don’t worry, all the correct answers will be printed below.

Virtual burnout

It’s now been a full year of living under the physical, health-related and emotional restrictions imposed upon all of us by the coronavirus pandemic. The first shelter-in-place edict from the county’s public health officer was issued on March 16, 2020. We have felt at times like we aren’t really living so much as we are just merely surviving.

Someday We’ll Laugh About This . . . Right? ‘Clothes Captaining’

My son likes to watch preschool programming, which means we still endure programs like "Yo Gabba Gabba" and "Dora the Explorer." They are sort of nostalgic and comforting, I find them predictable and familiar. However, he has now discovered the closed captioning feature, which would seem like a great way to sneak some reading in, right?

Country Roads: Feel it in the air

You can smell it in the air, feel it in your bones, see it in the beginnings of color change — summer is ending and with it the tremendous energy force of Mother Nature’s race to produce food. The food’s consumers are more than just human. They include the animals that share our planet. Hence, the seeds of weeds and trees feed the birds. Melons, winter squash, and tree fruit fill beaks and stomachs of hundreds of creatures hiding in nests, burrows, blackberry brambles.

‘Angels’ lands at Raven Performing Arts
