Well it is a beautiful day here in our little valley. I am sitting on the front porch swing and I have got a glass of good cold sweet tea. The breeze is blowing and looking out over the yard the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing. I don’t see the cats, but there are a couple of squirrels. I think they had a nest in the big old oak tree before lightning struck it a few years ago. The old tree is still standing but the limbs are all gone now. At a certain time in the morning when the sun shines just right, the trees’ shadow makes a p...
By Clint Confehr Maybe you've heard the buzz word STEM - the acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics - the 21st Century version of the three R's.

“Buffets Are Back – With New Policies and Gloves,” blared the headline on page 1 of the June 29 Wall Street Journal. That was welcome news for my pandemic-weary family. I was afraid such wide-open dining would go the way of the dinosaur. (“Look out! The asteroid is headed for the chocolate fountain!” “Mmm…chocolate-covered asteroid…”) I’m exhausted by all the paranoid workarounds of the past year: mile-long drive-through lines, “grab the takeout bag and get out of our lobby, Typhoid Mary,...
We have been having some very hot and, for the most part, humid days and many with temperatures in the seventies at night. We had a thunderstorm last Tuesday and it must have done some damage in the area. I have not had a phone, internet, or cell service since then and the technician said that it looked like lightning hit the box up on the road and he had some others in the area as well that had damage. I am glad it wasn’t more serious than it was but it sure gets one lost when they can’t call or receive calls. Although it was nice not hav...
