Funny Papers Again Column | Some Odds and Ends … and an Odd End

I received a bit of a scare the other day while riding my bike on San Antonio Drive, not from any near incident with a vehicle but from a sight I beheld near the skateboard park. I assumed that unaware to me the city...

Worthy to Print Column | Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend

George Worthy
This has been a rough week. It might look different to most of you, but for me it’s just another reminder of the test of time. Many years ago I bought a car from Joanne Rodriguez. Joanne’s husband Alva had passed away and he,...

Worthy to Print Column | Fireworks: Yes or No?

George Worthy
Before I begin this column this week, I want to emphasize that my musings are my opinions. Some are of a personal experience and some are based in opinion. Please understand it isn’t always easy. Just imagine catching a sensitive part of your body...
