Two things in life bring about the most grief when crossing the human psyche: death and taxes. When combined, they become a perfect cocktail of anxiety. While a family deals with the passing of a loved one, lawmakers in Washington, D.C., find it necessary to exacerbate that grief by taxing the occasion.
At various times and places we stand with others and pledge our allegiance to our nation’s flag: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." No matter how many times we say it, the words still evoke a sense of national pride!
Have you swung by our newspaper office recently? Tucked just inside the front door is a relic worth some attention. It is a portion of an integral part of this newspaper operation for over six decades: an industrial-model newspaper camera made by Robertson Photo Mechanix, Inc.
Greetings from Poosey.
I recently looked through my copy of the Post Scripts that I put together in 1981 and turned to the page with the column about Virginia McDonald. It reminded me of when it burned to the ground on the 4th of July, 2001, just two days before we moved from Gallatin.
