Teens driving you to distraction? React!

In case you missed it: entitlement vs. obligation
The growing debate in Congress over “entitlement reform” is being made more difficult by the use of ill-defined terms.

The rest of the story
Isn’t it interesting how a set of statistics can set your mind at ease – or totally derail it.

Water – ally or antagonist?
Water. It’s a part of our element since before we are born.
Here in Minnesota – and particularly in the Northland – it’s a part of our legacy.
