    On Memorial Day, I took a road trip to explore a couple of roundabouts and parts of the new US 69 freeway in Linn County. As a consequence of my road trip, I’ve also updated the US 69 exit guide to reflect the actual signage out in the field (I wasn’t that far off regarding…

    I’ve never been to a tea party, but I did hear some inside information about them. There was a report of a Democrat agent provocateur infiltrating a recent tea party. He was spotted committing 4 overt acts of a racist nature. We know they aren’t really racist – they are just playing head games to…

    I don’t know all the ins and outs of the High-Fructose Corn Syrup vs. pure sugar debate; however, I do have some observations. Back in November, I was down in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and I picked up a 6-pack of Dr. Pepper in glass bottles. According to the label, it was made with “Imperial…
