Home Country: Squash Bug Stomp

Dud was heading home in his pickup truck when he saw the strange goings-on at the Bahdziewicz place. Abraham Lincoln Bahdziewicz was out in the family’s large garden with a full complement of kids who were happily hopping around.
Some of the kids came from the neighborhood, but most of them were homegrown Bahdziewicz kids.
The Bahdziewicz family had a great garden and went at the whole thing scientifically and in great fun, because this is one family that runs short on cash but long on kids.
Dud pulled over and watched for a minute as Abe laughingly directed the family dancers Read More

Los Alamos Faith and Science Forum presents: The Orthodox Church, Faith vs Knowledge, A look at St. Isaac 7th Century By Father Jesse Robinson.

We will examine teachings of Orthodox Christian Fathers, with specific emphasis on the writings of the great ascetic of the 7th century, St. Isaac the Syrian.
Father Jesse Robinson was raised Read More

The Palouse: A single farmhouse and barns stand surrounded by the unique and beautiful Palouse landscape. The brownish areas are the only areas not planted in this photo.

Fr. Glenn: Gratitude For Freedoms
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, we hope you have a joy-filled, fun and safe Independence Day on this long weekend for many. A lot of people protesting this year because of a Supreme Court ruling not going the way they preferred, but one of the biggest things we celebrate on this annual holiday is our freedom TO protest; many people around the world do not have that freedom, and would be brutally crushed and persecuted should they dare even speak against the government. Remember Tiananmen Square? And neither can many peoples travel either abroad or within their own nations without official permission, Read More

“From the cow to the plow, Dewey,” Windy said, leaning on a shovel. Windy Wilson was on another of his “helper days” and today it was Dewey Decker’s turn to be helped.
“What do you mean, Windy?”
“You know … a slogan for the business. From the cow to the plow. Fertilizer. Farming.”
He was helping Dewey spread some product around at Mrs. Simmons yard, helping her anticipate a greener lawn this summer. Besides enriching the English language at every possible moment, Alphonse “Windy” Wilson devotes one day each week to helping someone, for free, here in the valley. He usually Read More

Home Country: The Lunker

By SLIM RANDLES
Doc didn’t expect any patients before 10 o’clock this morning, so he was up and coffee’d and gone by 6:30. Lewis Creek. The Lunker’s hole on Lewis Creek.
The Lunker is a huge rainbow trout that everyone knows about and no one has caught. So far he has resisted flies, worms, salmon eggs, spinners, and even an imitation mouse that Dud tossed in there one time just to see if the Lunker had a bass’s appetite.
Fish aren’t really all that bright, but the Lunker seems to deserve membership to Fish Mensa. No matter how fine the leader a guy used, it didn’t fool him. Trying to figure out Read More

Life After 50: Day Trippin

When I was young, if you said someone was “trippin” that meant they were crazy.
After two years in a pandemic, we needed a real trip and something meaningful. Crazy to think that a trip to Mount Rushmore is a day trip, but we made it. If you stop halfway, make it Northglenn, Colo., just the loveliest place. If you do, you must eat at Cinzetti’s for cannoli, beet salad and arancini. Then visit the little park just to see the Veteran’s Memorial.
Once arriving in Custer, we day tripped for Read More
