The oddest thing happened to me this week. Well odd for me. The Yankton/Vermillion phone book was delivered to my mailbox. In the past, I would have grabbed it and said, tongue firmly planted in cheek, “What the hell is…

Category: Things that make you go hmmm…
These are posts that are a result of my mind catching on something and me going…hmmm. It might be an old phrase, cliche, or a life altering idea.
Radio Rambo
I started driving truck way back in 1989. Shortly thereafter, I obtained my first CB radio. With that radio came an introduction into a whole new nomenclature. The “old hands,” threw out words and terms like they were a part…
Scared to Dream
