    Home Country: Don’t miss the full moon (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In a few days, all those rhymers who lived in Tin Pan Alley back when Gertie was a pup will be fulfilled once again. How’s that you say? Was a love song ever written that didn’t have moon and in it? And the full moon will be here in a couple of days and it is our responsibility to go look at it. A full moon is probably the basic cause of most superstitions and spooky stories and maybe even a religion or two. And that’s because it shows us our world in an entirely different light than we’re used

    Home Country: A new way to make a million bucks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Every once in a blue moon, I learn something from the computer. Not often, of course, because they change the rules on how to use it about three times a day, and I never was that fast. But I love that YouTube channel. Oh man. And I believe, after watching ‘way more episodes than my eyes and brain could handle, that I’ve stumbled on a hidden truth. How to mess around in dirt and rocks and get filthy, and create something that the headline assured me would be worth millions. And in my spare time!

    Home Country: Old Man Jenkins’ cabin, and other mysteries (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    We’re still curious about exactly where Old Man Jenkins’ cabin is. While he was alive, we never thought to bug him about where he lived, because we also cherish a man’s right to privacy. But Jenkins died on one of his trips to town, and we still didn’t know where his cabin was. So that began a number of semi-serious expeditions into our nearby mountains to try and solve the mystery. Hasn’t happened yet, but there’s always hope deep in the souls of true explorers. And so it is with Mrs. Doc. She

    Home Country: Barbed wire and depression (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Joe Glidden died 105 years ago, and millions of cowboys in New Mexico would celebrate if they knew why, and if there were really millions of cowboys in New Mexico, which there aren’t. Now while you’re parsing that sentence, let me explain that Joe Glidden was a farmer in Illinois and his wife, his daughter and his two sons all died before Joe was 38. In a fit of despondence, he invented barbed wire. In 1874, in another fit of despondence, the United States let him patent the darned stuff. Depres

    Home Country: Puttering, moseying and meandering (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I always wondered what it would be like to putter. I don’t mean golf. I haven’t done that kind of puttering since I played miniature golf in high school. That wagon wheel always messed me up, so I decided to leave my golf career right there and participate in more active pursuits. But now here I am puttering. This came about naturally because my doctor told me to slow down, and I plan to enjoy every snail-like minute of this advice. Part of it is my age (I’m in double figures now. And they ain’t
