Ever since the shocking news broke that River City Books is going out of business (March 29 is D-day, by the way) people have been asking me-and, more importantly, pressing RCB booksellers-about the possibility of going-out-of-business sale. I can now say for certain there will be such a sale and, what’s more, I can provide the fine print (more).
Today, Wednesday the 25th of February 2009, while out for an afternoon walk I heard and saw the first robin of the year. As a resident of this part of the world for the better part of 28 years, I had to scratch my head; I don’t recall ever seeing robins returning for spring so early. Granted, I’m no ornithologist but I know what a robin looks and sounds like so that leaves one question; what does any of this have to do with Chiropractic? (more)

Well, there I was, feeling all zen about having a mole in my backyard, recognizing the great things about moles and feeling very accepting of critters in general. Then, I went outside yesterday to set out some winter sowing containers and what should I discover in the melting snow but the distinctive tracks of not moles, but voles (more).

At the last meeting [of Politics and a Pint] we decided to talk on a social justice issue. One of the regulars has suggested we talk about the social and economic justice issues raised by an article found on line. The primary reference he offered is an online article found at the Property and Environment Research Center website. From the website we see the flyleaf and a comment (more).
Ostensibly, my reason for tagging along with the middle school dance and drama group that visited Prairie Creek on Tuesday was to pass on enrollment information to fifth graders who might be interested in the ARTech program next year.

Gospel, Mark 1:12-15 When I was a kid, professional boxing from Madison Square Garden dominated Friday night viewing on the “Gillette Cavalcade of Sports”. Managers and trainers would escort their man down the aisle and into the ring. The boxer typically wore a flashy robe with his name emblazoned across the back. He had trained for this fight and was there to face his opponent in battle (more).
