These three-day, holiday weekends . . . yikes. Hard to get back in the saddle and write a column when you’re still thinking about sun, barbeque, family, friends, fireworks, et al. But, I’ll get something out on deadline, thanks to dear wife Jen. Jen is always e-mailing me something . . . and something is […]
This past weekend the ‘Daily? Oakland Press ran a nice feature on the growing by leaps and bounds county — in particular the western part, by Novi and right here in the Northeastern tier. Of course you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know things are a little more congested and cramped than […]
Don Rush has not been traded to another franchise or dropped down to the farm club. His column will return. So relax. Don’t worry. Be happy!
Every so often a book gets mailed to me at the office. Writers, publishers, agents all seeking the same thing . . . publicity for some literary work. Usually I read the first few pages, close the book, put it on a shelf and forget about it. Sometimes it’s a local author and I’ll read […]
Auto manufacturers world-wide are in hot pursuit of the ultimate crossbred vehicle. Tinkering engineers have mated smaller, responsive cars with larger, meatier SUVS. The results are vehicles born with the best qualities of both sides of the parental lineage. Mitsubishi’s entry into this groovy hybrid market is the sure-handling Outlander. I was given the tricked-out, […]

Just last week I ranted — and yes, it was a rant so I won’t try to make it sound pretty. Well, maybe rant is prettying it up . . . okay, I whined about the newest sensation in American fairness — cumulative voting. If you didn’t read it (shame on you), the gist was […]
Little three year old Sean Rush now sings proudly, ‘O-Can-nee-da!? And that’s it, eh. Like his old man (that would be me), he doesn’t know the rest of the anthem those hosers to the north sing. Of course his lack of verbiage on the anthem side has not stopped him from proclaiming, ‘I am Canadian.? […]
I didn’t believe it when I watched a local FOX News video. It had to be a joke. And, I guess it still could be — but the more I looked into it, the more information I found to back up that ‘one-man, one-vote? could be a thing of the past. So the story went, […]
A little more than midway down and all of the way west in the ‘mitten? part of Michigan lies Ottawa County. This county is rich in its farming tradition. And, just like in our area, those once rich in farming, sooner or later become rich in housing developments. Some, like the eco-terrorists of the Earth […]
