Our son Scott, his wife Crystal, and daughter Megan came over to take my husband John fishing. John loves to go fishing and was very excited. I am not a fishing person.

Hometown Boy Made Good...
O’Donnell, TX, where the late Dan Blocker spent most of his “growing up years,” proudly claims him as the “crown jewel” in the local museum.
Folks who want to see memorabilia of the television immortal--“Hoss” Cartwright on the long-running American TV show, Bonanza--can pretty well visit on their terms.
“We grow, too soon old and, too late smart!” Boy, doesn’t this fit the bill?! You would think one would learn by their mistakes. However, I for one, doesn’t heed my own advice. I’ll get into an argument knowing well that I’ll never win. Especially, when arguing with someone who’s one taco short of a full Mexican plate.
Floriduh Man
Long-time readers of this column may recall a story I wrote a while back about Florida Man. It seems the Sunshine State attracts people who are, in technical terms, the biggest gooberheads on the planet. Or maybe something in the water down there kills brain cells, or something. Whatever, the people in Florida, especially the guys, are always pulling the most boneheaded stunts you ever heard of.
Someone began to notice this trend a few years ago, and set up a Twitt ...
