I was teaching a sport Monday. I was learning that same sport 15 minutes earlier. I normally abhor a split shift at work, but on this particular Monday I had a honey-do at the hardware store. Also on my schedule: • Meet these guys I don’t know for a game of ultimate Frisbee; • Go to the gym if they don’t show up, or ask about this “spike ball” game if they do arrive; • Run a wall or two in either case. I’ve already lost you, but I’ll get you back up to speed. For people...
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has “a priority mission of keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the U.S. It also has a responsibility for securing the border and facilitating lawful international trade and travel while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws and regulations, including immigration and drug laws.” It is difficult, to say the least, to square that mission with handcuffing a New Mexico woman that a checkpoint drug dog alerted to, forcing her to have vaginal and rectal exams, a bowel movement in front of som...

The decline of public education has continued along the parallel lines of the removal of prayer, discipline, quality-core subjects that instill self-discipline (arts, science, social studies and vocational classes), work ethics, honesty and trust.

The irony of the decline has been perpetuated by weakening the overall curriculum through emphasis on one or two academic areas deemed vital to the...

Reviews have a major effect on where I do business and what products I buy. I’m always looking for both positive and negative feedback; you accept some people may get a lemon but it’s important to get a well-rounded view before you spend time or money. A review once saved me from a big mistake. I was shipping my car from California to Texas while in school and my mom made a hasty decision and booked with a place that had horrible reviews. When I looked them up, there were repeated stories of damage to cars and people wai...
