Written by Slim Randles   
Friday, April 20 2012
It was one of those blissful spring evenings when everything works out just right. Walking head-on to each other were two couples: Randy and Katie holding hands and moving east, and Dewey and Emily walking closely without actually touching, moving west. All four were smiling. There's a magic about a spring evening to a couple in love. And these were two couples at least three quarters in love, because the jury was still out on Emily, the county lady with the great cheekbones. But if she wasn't ... Read more...

A DEFINITION OF SOCIALISM WITH A SCI- FI TWIST
Friday, April 20 2012
Oh the dazzle of Science Fiction, who wouldn't wanna boldy go where no man has gone before. In the 1960s, Sci-Fi was in its infancy when an ingenious fellow named Gene Roddenberry came along to give it a shove with the creation of Star Trek. His vivid imagination was on display every week on our television sets. The writers of the series would often inject social commentary in the script in a subtle way - one need only scratch the surface to discover the hints. Were the writers of Star T ... Read more...

She agreed to take the next plane to Sanibel Island. Little was said on the telephone but she read well between the lines--this sounded to her like a mission with a sweet commission. "Pop, I've been following Odyssey Marine's battle with the Spanish Government over a treasure Odyssey found and salvaged. Weki-leaks intercepted a diplomatic commu ... Read more...

NEWS FROM THE HILLS: APRIL & SPRINGTIMEMarch, with her changeable moods and capricious ways, exits our hills today, making way for dainty April and the fullness of springtime. The month of March was unusually warm, prompting some folks to jump the gun and begin gardening. Some farmers plant their potatoes on St. Patrick's Day, rain or shine (and sometimes snow!) Daddy liked to plant ours on April 10, or the hundredth day of the year. It is safe to sow lettuce, plant green onions and set out cabbage and broccoli plants. There is alwa ... Read more...
