To Hear Me Tell It

Send us Fan Mail At my age, it's now become weddings and funerals.  I miss our class reunion on account I had to go to a wedding, therefore I wasn't able to see how everyone has changed.  But recently I attended a death visitation at the "Fellowship Hall" at the Butler Baptist Church.  Yes, I know they changed the name years ago to the "First Baptist Church of Butler, but...

Send us Fan Mail Enough is enough.  We the taxpayers have been and are being robbed daily by thousands of immigrants in States like, Minnesota, California, Ohio, Maine, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Oregon.  And yes, the vast majority of these criminals are directly tied to an international crime ring.  A crime ring that has embedded itself into different levels of Federal, State, and City go...

Send us Fan Mail Yep,....we've all had them.  Some more than others.  Those damn nagging "Earworms" that just won't go away.  Until recently, I never knew they were called Earworms.  But now realizing just what they are, I can see why I get them on account of how I have my workspace set up in my garage. Yes sir, you too have Earworms.  Hell, you may have one right now but just...

Send us Fan Mail We lost a great one this week.  Robert Duvall (Gus, the Great Santini,) was a true America Icon when it came to acting.  The son of a US Navy Admiral. But what a joy and blessing to have lived and seen 95 years.  No children, as Robert was quoting to have said; "hell I guess I just shoot blanks." His movie list is long, and the level of personal integrity shaped a many o...

Send us Fan Mail Minnesota is lost.  The citizens of the state of Minnesota have been abandoned by their elected officials.  They no longer have a trustworthy reliable public safety agency.  They no longer have City or State Law Enforcement to enforce Law & Order.  There is no longer an existing Democratic system that is remotely protected by any Justice system whatsoever.  The Mayor of Minnea...

Send us Fan Mail Like most fishing stories, a tale can change and turn into something bigger, shorter, longer, or pretty much end up being something totally different than version number 1 told some 40 years ago. That said, my dear friend Kristi Dunn Barrow has asked that I share how I can to meet and marry my lovely bride, Mrs. Laura Marie.  So with that said, this one if for you Kristi. I am con...

Send us Fan Mail Joe Stika inspired me to read up on the great honorable work done each year by the Organization "Wreaths Across America" (WAA).  Back in Mid-December 2025, he was visiting the National Veterans Cemetery in Canton GA to lay honor to his wife's parent(s) buried there.  Joe was inclined to share how he felt, and a few snapshots he took while there. His visit motivated...

Send us Fan Mail What the heck is Chicken Gleet?  Now when things were rocking and rolling with the chickens, now I have two girls with nasty jacked up booty holes a.k.a. vents.  And some other chicken is pecking their butts making it bleed.  Where's Rodney King?  Can't they all just get along? If this doesn't get under control,.....somebody is taking a ride to the Train Station.

Send us Fan Mail Liberals, especially those suffering from TDS, will never learn a darn thing.  They keep doing the same stupid crap over and over and over again. They're now using the word "Affordability" like they invited it or something.  And the new "oh my gosh, Trump killed some idiot drug smuggling terrorist warloards trying to sell their poison to the US, when our awesom...

Send us Fan Mail We've heard them all before, or a least our generation has heard it.  "Save for rainy days, if you have to borrow money to buy it, you can't afford it, if you have to ask how much is it, you can't afford it, money don't grow on trees, and live below your means."  Yes sir, these and other snippets were all taught to us about managing finances and build...

Send us Fan Mail Apparently my lovely wife Mrs. Laura has cornered the market, and too is a renounced expert on the subject of Hot Flashes. Which is worse;  asking a woman if she's having some of them "Ladies Days" emotions, or might she be having a Hot Flash?  No matter, it's gonna be a lose lose situation. According to Mrs. Laura, it feels like she's being cooked from th...

Send us Fan Mail Changed it up a bit today.   I am blessed to be of the Butler 70's gang.  In the early years of the 70's our life centered around ten blocks: Edgewood Dr., Pine and Forest Ave.  Willow, Meadowdale and Marshall Streets.  We weren't the Sandlot Kids,..but we were the Sandspur Kids.  We were the TCHS Class of 1980.   Our childhood, our days of adolescence, becoming tee...

Send us Fan Mail They say two things in life are certain,…….Death and Taxes.  Well, there is also another thing that is certain, and that’s Insurance Premiums.  Yes sir, Health, Vision, Dental, Car, House, Health, Boat, Camper, Business Liability, Worker’s Compensation, General Liability, etc.  All of these apply.  That is unless you’re an illegal alien or a Government Dependent sucking on the Wel...

Send us Fan Mail When a good close friend sends a text message that only says: "The basement scene in Tremors is a compliment to you and Laura."  Well, that's enough for me to chase the rabbit no matter the hole.  Yes sir, that was all we needed for me and Laura to begin asking questions of our friend who sent this message.  Starting with, "what the heck are you talking about?&...

Send us Fan Mail We were blessed by God with some really awesome weather while on our get away to Perdido Key FL.  Took the bikes and one of my Drones. We biked for miles each day.  We sat on the beach each morning and evening to embrace God's creation.  Was able to meet good friends for dinner.  Got some really cool video footage (be sure to check out our Facebook business page "Aptera...

Send us Fan Mail I can deal with a lot of things, snakes, angry roosters, crazy wild eyed bar fighting women, and a bad haircut,.....but I cannot deal with Spiders. Thanks again to Asia for giving North America yet another pest to deal with, we have the Joro Spiders, most commonly mispronounced as "Juno Spiders."  Yep, we have the Asians to thank for these invasive spiders, and they&apos...

Send us Fan Mail We've all heard it before:  "don't eat chocolate before bed" on account you can make you have weird dreams.  Well based on my dream last night, one need add Pumpkin Pie with miracle whip to the list of what not to eat before bedtime. Yes sir, and for the record I had the absolute craziest dream EVER!  I'm talking seriously super turbo-charged weird.  I sha...

Send us Fan Mail I have the worse history when it comes to me selecting Contractors to do projects I either can't or don't want to do.  No matter the project, tree removal, roofing, electrical, yard work, interior painting, bathroom remodel, I pick the worse of the worse. Projects should not be "painful."  What happen to the days of craftsman who work at a good pace, and qualit...

Send us Fan Mail Harold Ford Jr. (in my humble opinion) made a complete ass of himself on national TV.  It doesn't take a scholar to make the commonsense observation that he struggles to run cover and do the blocking for the DNC.  More so now than ever, he's got flat-footed in having to either address and respond to the insanity of "his" political party.   But all that said, Ha...

Send us Fan Mail I can assure you that when me and my boyhood buddies were growing up in Taylor County, not a damn one of us ever had the thought that when we became old men we'd find ourselves on hands and knees trying to put a "Chicken Saddle" on the back of a dang chicken. Life has a funny way of turning out.  Pulling weeds, cleaning gutters, pruning flowers, or the real possibil...

Send us Fan Mail The question many have been asking for years is: when will the breaking point be reached? At what point with Christian Conservatives say, "enough is enough?" I believe Charlie saw this day coming years ago.  I believe he walked away from the corrupt college systems (seeing that they were nothing more than breeding grounds to poison the minds via the Professor Indoctrinat...

Send us Fan Mail Mama was gifted and skilled in the kitchen.  I regret not watching her more in my early years of growing up.  The meals she could cook, the cakes and pies she could bake, and the manner in which she went about the tasks stick with me today.  Looking back now I see where I picked up a many of her cooking habits (techniques) in the kitchen. Mama didn’t need a lot of fancy tools; she...

Send us Fan Mail Little Ms. Julie Felss Masino, the somewhat new CEO of Crackle Barrel has publicly lowered herself down to the Hank Johnson stupid level.  Yes sir, she had plenty of warnings and advisements of caution from the Investors, one in particular, Mr. Sardar Jiglari who told her as far back as May 2024: “Cracker Barrel is not a broken brand, but it has a broken board.”  He also shared th...

Send us Fan Mail I purchased this 22" Toro High Wheel Recycle pusher (self propelled) mower from Home Depot back in 2018, thus I've had it for some seven plus years now.  I have replaced numerous parts on it, and I've kept it well maintained throughout its life. Hell, for an extra $50, I purchased the extended warranty plan (which I never used). I can't imagine how many hours o...

Send us Fan Mail Is it really possible to smell a Bream Bed? First of all, I didn't know that that "Bream" is the correct spelling.  I always thought it was Brim and not Bream.  Goes to show what I don't know, which is quite a lot. According to Nick Giles, Jimmy (James-T) Smith got a scent of a Bream Bed while tracking across Lake George one day.  A trip with Daddy, Nick and Mr...
