Where's the pot of gold?
Legend has it that there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Could it be just in those bushes? There doesn’t seem to be any Leprechauns around, either! This beautiful rainbow appeared on Sept. 1 near Columbus. Banner Press photo by John Jones 09/20/2023 23:00

The stone used in the construction was hauled from a quarry near Muldoon. 09/13/2023 23:00

Kayak of Death – Or How I Lost my Shoe in Michigan
Funny things happen to me. Some time ago my wife and I were invited to visit some dear friends in Michigan. Steve & Stacey had recently moved into a lovely farmhouse out in the woods of the Wolverine State. The thrilling activities we enjoyed on our visit included what I will call a wild and dangerous kayaking adventure. 09/13/2023 23:00
