Well, it’s that time of year again when, for some mysterious reason, we feel the need to dress up in frightening costumes like monsters, ghosts and witches or Donald Trump…then go around trying to scare the crap out of people. We decorate our homes to look like cemeteries..we take down old glory and run up…
Kelsey Hoffman is probably the biggest fan of Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood you’ll ever find yet even though she’s a Sioux Falls area girl, she won’t be seated in the audience at any of their 9 shows at the Sanford Premier center this week and next. No, she plans to actually…
Bought your Powerball ticket yet? Don’t bother. That baby is mine..all 350 million dollars of it which is about what my check will be after getting my winnings in a lump sum. If I was younger I’d patiently wait for the whole half billion..but I”m not so…. I’ve been dreaming about this for…
“Hey Lund. I got a story for you that’s right up your alley,” said Keloland news director, Bill Avery, on a cold grey April morning in 1976. “I got a call from a rancher near Winner who has a cow that just gave birth to a two-headed calf,” he said. “But if you want to…
That noise you hear coming from the Keloland countryside these days is the sound of corn, soybeans and alfalfa growing. I’m told that on these stifling humid days, you can actually go out and see and hear it happening. But, I have enough trouble trying to explain to others how I enjoy spending my…
As Linda and I sat out on our new back deck July 4th, it was hot but not intolerable thanks to a couple of ice cold adult beverages. It was quiet and peaceful because our neighbors, who often opt to mow when we’re sitting outside, must have been off celebrating Independence day by a lake…
One of the real joys of retirement is being able to wake up each morning naturally (or in my case by nature calling) without a screaming alarm clock jarring us into consciousness. Every morning except Monday, that is. Monday is the main garbage collection day and apparently everyone in our part of town subscribes to…
I love coffee. I love the aroma of a fresh pot brewing in the morning. I can hardly wait for that sound our Mr.Coffee pot makes when it’s nearly done. (Sort of like the noise from several people all at once trying to suck the last delicious drop of a milkshake through a straw.) I…
As I write this, it’s April Fools’ Day. Not my favorite day of the year. Why? I don’t like being played the fool, that’s why. (Especially by furry rodents as per last week’s blog and my ongoing backyard battle) Spraying shaving cream into my hand after nodding off..then tickling my nose with a feather, is…
“Mommy, who is that guy that looks like Santa Claus and is always standing under his tree putting seeds in those green things? Honey, that’s the ‘Birdman of Walker Way’ I read about him on the internet. He’s always posting pictures of his hobby on Facebook. Oh so that’s Mr. Lalley? No, Honey, Mr. Lalley’s…
