The last couple of days I’ve been thinking about what to do regarding all my writings. I have three basic catagories of writings: personal journals, news articles and stories and poems. My bride asked: Are you planning to leave all this stuff for Kyle to have to throw away? That set my mind in motion…

Snow had been falling since the day before and I had to be to work at KBUL at midnight. As it would turn out, the power would fail throughout the region and the station would be off-air for about 12-hours. Throughout the city, there were accidents from people sliding into each other with their vehicles,…

Living out in the county can be trying at times. Especially when it comes to an early spring invasion of field mice. That means it’s time for the annual setting of the mouse traps. One, under the sink near the HVAC register. A second tucked in behind the refrigerator along the wall. As I laid…

Exactly 30-years to the day, I was fired from the U.S. Air Force. It took me years to come to terms with what happened, but now I accept full responsibility for everything that occurred. It’s what happens when a person goes outside the chain-of-command like I did. It doesn’t matter if it was to the…

The people gathered, all very excited to see the U.S. Air Forces’ Thunderbird flying team. Half the crowds were civilians, the remainder in uniform. The aircrafts,  Northrop T-38A Talons, streaked and roared over head to shouts and cheers, as they flew in groups, bursting like a smoky flower high in the sky. Then they flew headlong at…

So, I’ve been made aware that I post and blog way too much. Is this true? A bit of the back-story: A friend that I’ve known since 1977 told me that I blog and post too much. They say my writing overwhelms their FaceBook pages, therefore they deleted me from their “friends” list. While it…

Like I need another problem — worse yet — like I need another repair bill, but my truck refuses to go into gear.  It worked jus’ fine earlier in the day, but as I went out to head to work at 11 pm, the stick-shifter wouldn’t go into reverse or even first gears. Fortunately, our…

The running joke has always been tanned fat is better than white fat. With that in mind, I pulled off my shirt as I mowed the backyard. Soon I was joined by our house-mate, Kay Casti. She had decided to grab a rake and gather some of the clippings into a pile and enjoy the…

You should share your personal life-experiences.  Whether we know it or not, we each walk the path of history in some small way. If it were up to me, I’d spent several hours every day, writing. While it is something I truly enjoy, it also seen an activity of a loner.  It is something I…

Juanita Larson passed away at her home on May 3, 2008 from cancer.  She was born April 9, 1933 in Ackerman, Miss., to Luther and Pearl Spurgeon. Juanita, or Mrs. Larson as she was better known to me, was an artist who lived and raised her family in Klamath. She was married to Alvin Larson and…
