Miss me? Well, not as much as I missed you. I’ve been looking for someone else to blame for my absence. That’s just the way I am. Blame someone or something else. I’ve narrowed it down to the anticipation of the Groundhog’s appearance February 2. Just before that, I was struck with a session of […]
This is hardly news, but I was told recently the greenies are out to control the world. But, so are the Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, atheists, Russians, Japanese, Californians, Alaskans, upper and lower Slobovians, oil producers, Mexicans, Hollywood, etc, etc., but not the Detroit Tigers or Lions. ? I’m as confused as a baby in a […]
Don’t you just love listening to some reporters asking some politicians questions who give answers like, ‘That’s currently under investigation.? Or, ‘I’ll get back to you on that.? It’s immediately forgotten. * * * Two years after I got my discharge from the Navy, I had to take a physical to try out for Western […]
In July, 2006 an artist approached me with the idea of painting a mural on the side of 5 S. Washington St. What a great idea, I thought. Dress up the corner. Bring in some wholesome images — a slice of Americana right here in Clarkston. I toured entire towns where the businesses were muralized. […]

Why have so many people stopped looking for jobs? Government statistics show this to be true. Please note, I did not say people stopped looking for work. Multiple people have stopped looking for jobs because our government is determined to increase welfare opportunities and add more ‘free? money plans. C’mon, Jottings writer, get back on […]
When I was in Morrice High School, our house was across the street one way and across another street from the Catholic Church. Ma Daddy wasn’t keen toward the Catholic faith, and we kept to our side of the street. And now, 80 years later, I’m being overwhelmed with the Catholic leader, Pope Francis, getting […]
I don’t recall ever hearing a commercial that I recall liking as much as the one with a cow saying ‘Eat more chicken.? * * * I was caught up in all the hullabaloo in the news coverage of the Pope coming to the United States. It’s a first for him! I listened to a […]
At the beginning of every year for as far back as I can remember (2009), the news is dominated by telling us ways to save money. One major emphasis is on coupon clipping. Headlines yell, ‘Over $25,500 in coupon savings in this issue.? That in mind, I am a saver, I took the insert coupons […]
I think Congressmen should wear uniforms, you know, like NASCAR drivers, so we could identify their corporate sponsors. Here we are a year ahead of the 2016 elections. Already I’ve heard enough propaganda from the self-proclaimed perfect candidates I’ve recleaned my up-chuck bucket three times. From his first speech as president of the United States, […]
