  • Maybe river bottom homes need stilts

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Jul 13, 2022

    I grew up in southern Indiana a few miles from the Ohio River. From a high perch in the oak tree in our backyard, I could see Kentucky. Nearly a mile wide inside its banks, the river would flood every spring covering thousands of acres with muddy water. A levee kept the Ohio out of town, and hardly anybody lived in the floodplain. There were, however, a number of river camps scattered along its banks. They were all built on stilts. I didn’t know anyone who owned a river camp, but I always f...

  • I am finally able to put my feet up after work!

    Pierre Bibbs, Play Ball|Jul 13, 2022

    So, we did a thing the other day…. I’m not talking about marriage. I am talking about something that has been in my life just as long as I have been married. My old couch set. The other day, Susan and I replaced our old couch/love seat set. Honestly, it took me a long time to like that couch. It was not comfortable at first. It did not recline, so the naps were often painful, and sitting on it too long encouraged me to get up and take a lap around the house. I disliked that couch for years, but...
