From time to time I think all of us have witnessed people in various grocery stores examining food for freshness. Evidently there is a way to determine the freshness of a watermelon or cantaloupe by tapping the item and listening for a hollow sound. Some say you want a hollow sound – others say that […]
It was good to see so many people marching around the globe for our planet! “Stronger together” — that should be priority one. Without clean air and water we all perish. Our president just signed another executive order to pillage one of our great National Parks to allow drilling and mining. I urge you to […]

Last week’s issue of The Lake Orion Review had a rambling treatise from local jokester J.P. King (I will not be silenced!, April 12, 2017) regarding a comment I made about using the “View Points” section of the newspaper for informative, entertaining letters and not for personal vendettas.
