By Daris Howard This heatwave we are experiencing showed me that animals like to have fun, just like we do. Some things I saw were almost human-like. I was on my way home from work one day, and as I approached an overpass, I could feel the added heat coming from the four-lane highway below. Even inside my car, it felt like I was passing through an oven. That is when I saw the hawk. It looked like a young bird. It was floating with almost no flap of its wings. As it came across one of the double lanes of the highway, there must have been...

I would like to suggest an open meeting in our town with all the entities involved: with Aubrey Preston and his investors in N...

Well it is a hot and humid day here in our little valley. The sky is getting dark and I can hear thunder off in the distance. I am enjoying a cold glass of sweet tea, sitting here in the swing on my front porch. I was thinking back to when we were young. We had a storm cellar and when it began to thunder and the clouds would get dark, we would go to the storm cellar, it was basically just a hole dug into the hill at the back of our house. We were afraid of storms, but we had fun going to the cellar. We had shelves built and mama would store...
