Dear Editor, I wish to report a crime; the perpetrators are none other than those PC fixer-uppers who run around “improving” various hymns, stories, or other literary works produced by their betters. What gives those self-appointed authorities the right to rewrite someone else’s masterpiece?

I had the extreme pleasure this last weekend of celebrating the first trip around the sun for my adorable niece, Annie. She got thoroughly covered head to toe with her cupcake. Once she figured out it was edible, the thing went everywhere. Her cute outfit is likely ruined by the raspberry frosting.

Last week when I sat down to write my column, I knew I had come up with a topic, but for the life of me, I couldn’t remember what it was! So, I rambled on about something else instead.

No that is not a misprint; yes, I did mean to say funnel. Of course I know the usual saying is, “there is light at the end of the tunnel.” I feel that I have a very good reason to use the word funnel in this particular instance. I hope after you finish reading this column you will agree with me.

Dear Editor, Seat belts save lives. That’s the reason North Dakota’s law changed from secondary enforcement to primary+ enforcement on Aug. 1. Seat belts are the single most effective safety device to prevent death and injury in a motor vehicle crash.

1. After your visit: Your physician may order blood work, x-rays, or a scan of your body. If the concern is acute or potentially a threat to your immediate health, you may be asked to wait for your results in the clinic. Normally, patients may leave and await their results from home.

Sunday morning I was deep into my normal routine when life threw me a curve ball, literally and metaphorically. I woke up a few minutes early, beating my 6:30 a.m. alarm by six minutes. After taking some time for myself I headed upstairs for an 84 minute workout on the spin bike.

I was pleased to find out this summer that two of my grandchildren have taken up the game of golf, sort of. My granddaughter Summer and grandson True have friends that golf and they have been tagging along and playing a few times. They have indicated they like the game and have shown some interest.

Not from our RV though. We had planned to take The Honeymooner for a test trip down to Bismarck where Phil has to attend a monthly meeting for his job with the state.
