I must be smarter

November 19, 2016 by Dave Knadler

I’m one of those aging white males whose job became obsolete a few years back. I come from a rural background and learned to drive a tractor before I learned to drive a car. Growing up, there were always quite a few firearms around the house, not to mention a fair amount of literature […]

Where credit is due

November 16, 2016 by Dave Knadler

Let the record show that last month, well before anyone seriously thought a certain sinister buffoon could win the White House, American wages were at an all-time high and still growing.

November 12, 2016 by Dave Knadler

The glossophobe judge

January 25, 2015 by Dave Knadler

Yesterday I served as a judge for an oratorical contest put on by the American Legion. I’m not sure why I agreed to do it. Normally, I scrupulously avoid any activity that might involve meeting new people. I am one of those introverted types who can pass as personable for a few minutes at […]

Morning on the water

January 1, 2015 by Dave Knadler

kayaking thomas creek florida

Today we took the kayaks out to Thomas Creek, which is as a good a way as any to start out a new year. Our friends Ryan and Jackie joined us for an easy paddle on glassy water, a four-mile round-trip under cloudy skies. Temperature was a little under 60 — a pleasant coolness […]
