Hunting season must be over. I unplugged the boot dryer last night. For four months I’ve been carrying a loaded weapon more days than not, my finger on the safety, ready to raise the gun and fire.

I soon found out. For the rest of September, I hunted earlier and faster than I ever had before in a v...

Thank you for publishing them and I hope you continue to do so. Sharon Kindle Malta...
Last week, the office of the Phillips County News was buzzing and busy. Catching up on lighter work-weeks following the shop’s closure on Christmas and New Year’s left us scrambling and trying to catch up. Things were going along rather smoothly, as smooth as can be expected on Monday anyway, and then things started going sideways in a hurry. It all started with the office fax machine. No I think I have stated my disdain for fax machines in this column a time or two, but I have a hard time remembering so I will say it again...fax machines rot...

No, I will never play a game of Candy Crush or Words with Friends, but I have to say, one application has gotten a hold of me and probably won’t let go anytime soon.... Trivia Crack. I stumbled upon the game while looking for an application that would help me with my memory. I figured I was a fan of trivia, so I thought I would give it a try... I didn’t know it was so popular until I was challenged to a game by an old college frien...
