Will’s Thoughts – Dang Potholes! Happy pothole season!

Our potholes are truly legendary and yet, as much as people complain about them, they do serve a purpose …
Will’s Thoughts – Things we have ‘just in case’. Just in case. Now, who would have thought that three little words could have such an impact on our lives? They can be used as a shield against possible social, economic or physical disaster, or as a horn to announce the arrival of the King and Queen of Hoarding. I’d like …
Will’s Thoughts – What Makes Us Ornery? Have you ever had one of those days, when you roll out of bed first thing in the morning meaner than a stick poked badger? There ain’t no rhyme nor reason, you just woke up with a hankering to cause someone, or something grief, or at the very least, aggravation. It may be …

Will’s Thoughts On How Art Imitates Life. It is said that art imitates life, and it sure must be so, because in the last one hundred years, the world has gone from looking like a Norman Rockwell painting to a Picasso abstract interpretation. Cherry cheeked children that once inspired peach crate labels, wear more make-up than drag queens today as …
Will’s Thoughts On Tips To Survive Menopause. During menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop making eggs and they produce less estrogen and progesterone. Changes in these hormones cause menopause symptoms. In man speak, that translates to “Run Forrest. Run Forrest, run!” It is the biological time of a woman’s life when she is most dangerous. Her intellect is peaking, her self …
People Who Leave Outdoor Holiday Lights On Long After Holidays Are Over. The time has come for me to address the issue of outdoor ‘holiday’ lights being left on long after the holidays. What the heck is up with these people? The lights are like neon yard signs screaming, “Check this out, not only do we produce carbon footprints the …
Will’s Thoughts – Equality Of The Sexes Is there such equality of the sexes even possible? Someone once asked me if I believed that men and women are equal. I told them that it was my opinion that there is no such thing as equality between sexes. Men are decidedly inferior. Seriously, it would take five men to do what …
Will’s Thoughts – How Cold Spells Can Fire Up Memory. How a cold spell fired up my memories: It did not take very much -30 weather before my mind started conjuring up images of warmer days.

Pictures Below!! OMG!!! The Hair! Every five years we have to renew our driver licenses and this year it was Crazy Lady’s turn. I had no idea that such a mundane event could be so much fun.

Will’s Thoughts – The Importance Of Imagination. Imagination is our most important national resource. One of my children once asked me what the most important thing taught in school is. My response? “Well, I guess that’s learning how to read. For, I reckon that if you learn to read you can learn to do about anything.” Yep, I think the …
Will’s Thoughts – Make Crazy Lady Empress Of The Known Universe I reckon that the world has gone crazy, and to now restore sanity, two things need to occur.

Will’s Thoughts – Why Professional Fighters Choose To Fight The announcement that our community is soon going to host yet another professional fight, got me to trying to figure out why professional fighters fight, and why the public loves to watch them trying to bash in each other’s heads. At first I thought it was because fighting represents the pinnacle …
A Crazy Lady Critter Christmas: I reckon that as we get older, and now that the kids all have lives of their own, Crazy Lady and I lack the celebratory motivation that we once had. It seems a shame to put up the Christmas tree now, and then take it down in a week, so maybe we’ll open presents in …
Will’s Thoughts – Do angels exist? Are they real? YES! I reckon that this is the one time of year when people think and talk about angels, more than at any other time of year. There’s always been a ton of debate about whether the divine creatures even exist, and if so, what they look like, and do down here …
