It's April 1, the day when guys my age finally stop writing 2025 on
their checks.

I only wrote two checks this month. One was to my dentist because he
still sends me a paper bill with a return envelope, and one was to a
company that sells me ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

Forty years ago, if you wanted to sound smarter than your stupid
buddies, you looked thoughtfully at the football game on the TV over the
bar, and you got a profound beer-related look in your eye.

"Ya know, soccer is probably going to be the ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

There are about 420 people in Arthur County, Nebraska, out in the
western part of the state, spread out over 715,152 square miles. The
county seat, and the county's only incorporated town, is a town called
Arthur, and about 130 people call that ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

I counted 26 varieties of frozen pizza for sale in my local grocery
store last Tuesday.

Can you tell I'm semiretired?

But first, let's explain my methodology.

I wasn't in the biggest grocery store in this area. I was in a midsize
grocery ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

The two atomic bombs dropped on Japan by the United States of America
were code-named "Fat Man" and "Little Boy."

You'd give those names to your cats.

"The calico is 'Fat Man,' you'd tell a visitor to your house. "The gray

I'm writing in the worst part of a blizzard.

What a satisfying, heroic way to start a newspaper column.

I'm not kidding, either. Here in Tiverton, Rhode Island, on the shores
of Narragansett Bay, hard by the Massachusetts line, we've got more ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

A recent mass shooting at an ice rink in Rhode Island sent us on the
hunt.

When someone commits a mass shooting, people of the most extreme
political genders set out to find reasons why that would bolster their
own beliefs.

To be honest, I didn't think the bunny had legs.

I wrote about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl appearance a few weeks before it
happened, and I concentrated on the commercial nature of the National
Football League's decision.

I figured the game would ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

The difference between having a girlfriend and having a wife is the
difference between boxing amateur and fighting professionally. It's the
same sport, but, if you're fighting pro, the fights last longer, there's
a bigger chance of getting hurt,...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

"I've seen plenty of guys die with a gun in their hand."

A guy older than I was said that to me in a bar maybe 25 years ago. He
was almost, but not quite, drunk, and we were talking about the number
of friends I had who kept a gun to repel ...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

I always thought I was safe from police harassment while driving because
my car wasn't a junk, I'm white, and if you pulled me over, I had the
country station on my radio.

I'm older now, and I figured that made me even safer. I'm still white, I...<br /><br /><hr size="1" />]]></description>

The news stories say people don't go out as much as they used to before
Amazon.com. Before COVID-19. Before "remote days." Before. Before.
Before.

People drink less alcohol, I read. Some studies say young people aren't

		<description><![CDATA[

There's no such thing as a "smart bomb" because bombs don't ask
questions.

"You're not dropping me there," no bomb ever said. "There's kids down
there."

But there are smart people, and this is one hell of a time to be smart.
