Funny Papers Again Column | The Good, the (Not) Bad and the Ugly

Steve Wilson
I began this column at 4 a.m. last Thursday and expect to finish sometime in the next 84 hours or so, at which time my goal is to give a brief recitation of this past weekend. But first I want to talk about asphalt....

Window on the World Column | Take Care of Yourself

Lucy Jensen
ā€œTake care of yourself!ā€ they rant. ā€œDiet and exercise, exercise and diet.ā€ Yes, we all know about that. Some of us consistently live by excellent habits, others less so. I’ve always loved to swim and walk — that’s my idea of exercise — and...

Worthy to Print Column | Bringing Our Troops Home

I haven’t tried to hide the fact that I have no admiration for our present President. I could just sit here and write down all the ways he has let us down as a nation. However, I’m not going to do that today because...

Letter to the Editor | Different Views

To the Editor: I appreciate that the Rustler has the good senseĀ to carry two columnists who make the newspaper interesting. In today’s world, I think that is somewhat unusual. And I, along with others, would like to see this continue, good journalism. Both are family men...

Window on the World Column | The Top Generation

Lucy Jensen
I remember my grandparents very clearly. They were our safe harbor when things in the house were a little stormy. My grandma was quiet and sweet, mostly seen with knitting needles in her hands and a soft smile. She made the best chocolate cakes...

Window on the World Column | The Call of the Sea

I was born on the East Coast of England and many of my formative years were spent by, in and on the North Sea. To this day I still feel the call of the water. It’s so primal. Not just that water, all bodies...

Funny Papers Again Column | Notes on Pomona to KC After a Rain to an Oklahoma Grift

Steve Wilson
We are now one week past the Autumn Equinox, the day defined as having an equal number of hours of sunlight and moonlight. Autumn’s twin is the Vernal Equinox in March. The opposite of these days of equality are the Summer and Winter solstices...
