Letter: Agrees with Carol Perkins Mary Ann Brown writes: I totally agree with you, Carol! Why do all businesses try to make the biggest profit from each item they sell? Looks like if they made a 25% profit on an item, isn't it better to move an item than let it set somewhere? Just my opinion. - Mary Ann BrownComments re article 62315 Carol Perkins The search for the next truck 2013-09-29 11:03:09 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Carol Perkins: The search for the next truck The search for the next truck, a workingman's Dodge Ram 1500 has been fraught with frustration. Carol wonders why the purchase always takes one through the salesman's circles? Why a simple up or down quote can't be gotten. The next earlier Carol Perkins column: A Matter of Taste. Posted September 22, 2013 By Carol Perkins For the past month, Guy and I have been searching for a truck. Not just any truck, but a Dodge Ram 1500. We don't want a new one, but one that is purely for hauling and loading and unloading things such as mums, bags of mulch, and dirt. We want to be able to move junk from the basement to the landfill and then bring home a new door to replace the one I have been trying to get for more than a few years. In other words, we want a workingman's truck. Not that we can't find it, but we can't find a reasonably priced one.

Happy Tail: A priceless Jewel After failing to fit in, to socialize properly with other dogs and lots of people - twice - in her first home, it looked as if the little tan dog's lifetime home might be at the rescue. But on a trip to the feed store, a stranger, a Veteran, asked about her. He lived alone and wanted a companion. Jewel looked like the answer. Click on headline for complete story and photo(s) The next earlier Happy Tail: Happy Tail: What were you thinking? Posted September 22, 2013 By Peg Schaeffer Sometimes I wish the dogs who come here could talk. But maybe it's better they don't. It's very rare that I know a dog's background. The majority of the dogs that come here are strays and unless they're born here I know very little about them. Most of the dogs could write a book about their lives, I'm sure, and it probably wouldn't be pretty.

Reflections of Youth: The Neighborhood Bunch Carol Salato Myers remembers the kids she grew up with on High Street, West Guardian Street, and Burkesville Street By Carol Salato Myers Chris Murphy's Reflections from my past put me in a nostalgic mood. I find myself reflecting more and more on my youth and I remember the good times in our part of town. I guess one does that when quickly approaching old age. - The Neighborhood Bunch One of my fondest memories of growing up in the small town of Columbia was playing with the "Neighborhood Bunch." Those kids included all the kids on West Guardian Street, High Street, Church Street and Burkesville Street. There were a dozen of us: my brother, Mike, Mary Ellen Myers, Louis Merkley, Harlow Coomer, Ann Coomer, Carmen Potts, Billy Holt, Betsy Cheatham, Kenny Phelps, Steve Hill, Greg Hill, and I. I especially remember the summers and winters with the crew.

I have pictures out my ears but I rarely refer to them. My best reminiscing is done when I have the TV turned off and lean back in my recliner and just let my mind wander through more than eighty well-lived years.

Tom Chaney: Doc Holliday and the Elephant Of Writers And Their Books: Doc Holliday and the Elephant. Tom discusses Westerns and says, "Let us then enjoy our Brauns, our L'Amours, our Ralph Comptons, our Zane Greys." This column first appeared 28 September 2008. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Evil, Ego, and High Principle By Tom Chaney Doc Holliday and the Elephant Matt Braun is one of my favorite western writers. I have decided that my fondness for him arises from his rather successful attempts to achieve verisimilitude -- that is to create the appearance of life as it actually was. The success of any writer's effort is not so much how closely he or she hews to the truth as it existed, rather how much the writer succeeds in convincing the reader that the writer hews to the way things were.
