ASK AMY
Dear Amy: I started seeing “James” three months ago. I am 35 and he is 40. We both have successful careers, great communication, and an appetite for adventure. It has made for an amazing start, but I struggle with some baggage.
Pet of the Week
Seven kittens that are 10.5 weeks old now; six are pending adoption and one is still available. You can always submit a pre-adoption form in case anyone backs out also.
Summer Lunch at Backus
When the school year ended, the Summer Lunch Program and the Buddy Backpack distribution started at the Backus Community Center. The Summer Food Service Program was established to ensure that children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.
Violet’s Floyd
It was the twelfth of May, it was warm out, the grass was green, and folks had already been mowing it when36 inches of snow fell on the banks of the Pipestone River. Floyd left home at 7 a.m. in a canoe on its maiden voyage up to their Marsh Lake Cabin 14 miles away to meet his brother Frank. On the way he checked traps and picked up 18 beaver and at least 40 muskrats. He skinned nine of the beaver on the riverbank. He testified that it took him about nine minutes to skin a medium sized beaver and about 15 minutes for a large one.
@ Your Library
Summer is marching right along with very rapid speed with less than a week to go in June. Be sure and stop by the library and pick up a summer reading booklet for yourself and any family members that don’t have one yet. Summer reading will continue until Friday, August 12th with lots of free books to give away, fun programs for kids and families and an escape room for teens and adults. Get your books out and start reading!
NEARLY NORTH OF TWO: CAPITOL COMMOTION II (A)
This commotion began more than 17 months ago when our Washington DC Capitol of our somewhat united States was violently assaulted with intent to overturn democratic election results (journal entry Jan. 8, 2021). Last week a special Congressional House of Representatives investigative “Select Committee” presented its introduction to its more comprehensive reporting expected in about a half-dozen additional televised presentations beginning this week. According to some recognized national thinkers, this stuff is bigger than 1973’s Watergate hearings.
ASK A TROOPER
Question: I really liked your recent article about the dangers of putting your feet up on the dash while driving and air bags. With the way vehicles are changing, can you talk about the other air bags, like side curtains and such? Thank you.
Set the hook!
It’s been windy for the better part of a week. The days that were calm, I took advantage of fishing for walleyes and caught them in 17- and 31-foot depths.
Kohlrabi; overlooked but tasty
The most overlooked vegetable that I know of is Kohlrabi. I seldom see it on the seed racks of our local stores so you will probably have to look for it in seed catalogs. Lucky for us, seed catalogs are all on-line.
