Eight inches of rain? Well, actually 7.9, but that is still one helluva lot of water coming down here in a 48-hour period. When my wife and I were thinking about moving east from California 15 years ago, she had some requirements as far as the climate. No hurricanes or tornados, no flooding and no …
Is dementia hereditary? I am 81 days from my 75th birthday and today I Googled that particular connection for the first time. It just wasn’t something that had concerned me until today. Part of it might have been thinking it could never happen to me and part of it might have been the though that …
“Some folks need killin’.” Every time I think the Republican Party can’t possibly sink any lower, someone like Mark Robinson comes along. Robinson is the lieutenant governor of North Carolina, and on the face of it he would appear to represent solid racial progress in the Tar Heel State. After all, it was only 34 …

The other night I experienced something I had almost forgotten. It was around 8 p.m. and I was taking my trash cans down to the street for Monday morning pickup. Something happened that it has been a lot of Augusts since the last time. After a relatively normal late summer day, it was halfway cool …
The first time I saw this on Facebook, I laughed. It was one of those things that sounds really good until you start thinking about it and realized it’s just part of Donald Trump’s big con. As I said, I wasn’t going to comment on it, but I have seen it spreading. I’ve seen it …
