Last month, I read about a shocking new scientific discovery. I’m not Neal DeGrasse Tyson but I do try to stay informed. So I read magazines that focus on scientific findings and newsworthy events, like Discover, National Geographic, and The Onion. An August study from Florida Atlantic University determined middle school students are meaner to peers who aren’t pretty or […]
On Second Thought
Wilson responds to Biden’s Iran Sanctions Waiver
Letter to the EditorBiden’s waiver today of Iran sanctions is disgraceful and threatens American families with mass murder. As Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia Subcommittee, I know providing $10 billion to Tehran finances puppets of Hamas for kidnapping Americans, as Hezbollah puppets killed three Americans just six weeks ago. Houthi puppets have launched over […]
Doctor Drama
I’m just saying...Editor’s Note: Julia is vacationing this week. Please enjoy an oldie but a goodie from a few years ago. I know I’ve complained about this before but our world is becoming unpeopled and humanless. Technology is taking over every single person-to-person encounter we’ll ever have! And I hate it! I hate it when I need to talk to a utility […]
Emergency request for Patterson Road sidewalk to be paved as soon as possible
Letter to the EditorI sent a request to SCDOT and hope to hear back soon: It is on the list for later this year—deaths may occur if delayed. It is for a short distance, only one-and-a-half blocks (7300-7457 Patterson Road) past Burnside School. Disabled Vet (Mike) with no legs is totally wheelchair bound, no other transportation, lives in a small rental trailer in […]
The Ancient Highlander
It’s not a criticism; It’s an observationOn the fourth Tuesday of 2024, I did something I hadn’t done since early 2003. No, not write something interesting. I pulled into a car lot in one vehicle and left in a different one— forever. By early 2003, I had retired, moved to Irmo, S.C., and spent a year not working for the man. Part of my master plan […]
Interesting Facts About the Month of March
Did You Know?March marks a turning point for many people each year. Perhaps because winter winds down and officially ends in mid-March, the month is easy to characterize as a turning point toward spring and all that entails, including warmer weather and additional hours of daylight. The vernal equinox is one of many interesting facts about the third month of the year. […]
St. Patrick’s Snakes
Snakes play a significant role in the legend of St. Patrick, the primary patron saint of Ireland and the man who inspired a wildly popular mid-March holiday. Though the notion of St. Patrick bravely banishing snakes from Ireland certainly supports his worthiness to be the island’s patron saint, historians note this particular portion of the legend of St. Patrick is […]
Age is just a number
I’m just saying...I don’t know about this aging business. It’s really beginning to get on my nerves. Everywhere I go, it seems like the cashiers, bank tellers, doctors, all the clerks, and pretty much EVERYONE EVERYWHERE look like they’re 12-years-old! The other day as I was driving downtown near the USC campus, those students look like they belong in Sunday School instead […]
Missing Pillowcases and the Deep State
It’s not a criticism; It’s an observationOn Super Bowl Sunday, I lost a pillowcase. This had nothing to do with the big game, Taylor Swift, or any government psychological operation initiated by the Deep State. It just temporarily disappeared. Bed cover laundering is among the many domestic duties I’m responsible for. I do this chore happily and without fail each Sunday unless I’m away from home […]
Sissies Beware!
I’m just saying...If I’ve learned one thing in life, it’s that aging is absolutely NOT for sissies! The older I get, the more this lesson repeats itself. People in their 20s and 30s are oblivious to aging and all the little aches and pains that start to appear. If they get a headache, it’s just a headache. They pop a couple of […]
