Ditto that! I get a "Chicken Little" vibe - or is it a bread-baking Little Red Hen vibe? The nay-sayers. The chorus of naysayers. (No hyphen.) "Shoot the moon" - why does that crack

Oh, the lying GPS... Last week a Fed Ex driver tried to hand me a package addressed to my neighbor. I pointed to the house to the east of me. "But the GPS took me to this house," he said. YOU

"Lay them down" - what a great rallying cry! Phones are the enemy's weapons! Distracting us, enslaving us. In our last-century childhoods, if we could have seen documentaries of our granchildren

Aww thanks. And yes. You are allowed to poach rescue a stray plant from the wilderness. My policy: I pull a dozen or more garlic mustard for every trout lily I've liberated from the county land. Save the

That was last November, and half a year later, people still aren't listening.... My cousin is still grateful for the five jabs that kept her Covid from being worse than it was. A friend is grateful that
