A tic is a frequent unconscious quirk of behavior, and a tick is a hard-to-kill, blood-sucking, parasitic arachnid that causes you to unconsciously and repeatedly scratch your head and body. Tic and tick sound exactly alike. Coincidence? I think not. I wasn’t going to write about ticks. I swear. I’m pretty sure I wrote a column about them last year.

Unfortunately, authoritarian leaders (aka demagogues) have a history of making things even...

Out our way, aside from a few coyotes and the occasional mountain lion, we didn't see many predators. But it's not the same everywhere.

The Bible is neither fiction nor textbook fact; it is a story that is true - it tells us who we are and who You are, God....
