Scattershooting While Wandering (Or Is It Wondering) Around
Scattershooting while wondering whatever happened to Stanley Andrews . . . I READ an interesting story from our friends at the Indiana Capital Chronicle about how small towns are trying to revitalize themselves again. The regular eight or nine of you who read these scribbles won’t be surprised to know that I’m a big fan…
Read MoreBubba Asking Tough Questions
I’m not usually a “headache” guy. Maybe I should rephrase that? I’ve been told on occasion that I can cause headaches. But me having one? Not so much. So, not sure what brought this one on. Could be the Indiana Legislature trying to run us out of business with their public notice campaign. Or maybe…

Notes found on the back of a Sheb Wooley autographed picture . . . I want to ask a favor. (Are you supposed to start a conversation that way? I guess it could lead to a whole lot of folks suddenly remembering they have something important to do, like organize their CD collection . .…

Read MoreHammer Can’t Understand Democrats
“Do they even notice?” The words, boomed across an open empty office, scared the living bejebbers out of me. John Hammer, that huge hulk of a man who somehow finds his way into a locked and dark office on a Saturday, had once again caught me off guard. And listen, as a guy with a…

Continued Scattershooting while wondering whatever happened to Eddie Adams . . . * * * HATERS GOT to hate, and boy did last week’s comments about DEI / MEI bring them out of the woodwork! To recap, I offered a tip of the seed corn cap (as my pal Honest Hoosier might say) to new…
Read MoreDEI, MEI, Silliness and More
Scattershooting while wondering whatever happened to Fred Allen. * * * DIVERSITY. Equity. Inclusion. Who can argue with the value and importance of those three words.
