A long-term stay with a senior discount at Holiday Inn, on the other hand, is about $60 per day. And, the grandkids can come over and use the pool. Tipping the staff $5 bucks a day makes them really hustle to make sure your room has everything you need, and you don't even have to make your own bed, something you usually pay extra for at an assisted living home.

A gear-up landing is about the worst thing that can happen to your airplane. Not only do you have the expense and time to repair the damage, insurance premiums are bound to be affected, a large majority of prospective future buyers will shun any plane with damage history, and the value can be substantially reduced. A long-time aircraft dealer told me once ''I've never been able to sell an airplane with a double gear-up''.

It took a while, but Donna Brazile has finally come clean: Yes, the fix was in for Hillary Clinton during 2016's Democratic primary. The former Democratic National Committee chair and ex-CNN contributor, in a piece published inTime magazine, acknowledged funneling inside info to the Clinton camp before two debates with Bernie Sanders.

Locally nicknamed ''La dame de fer'' (French for ''Iron Lady''), it was constructed as the centerpiece of the 1889 World's Fair, and to crown the centennial anniversary of the French Revolution. Although initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, it has since become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.

Human war machines don't tend to fare well in encounters with Godzilla, who debuted on the silver screen in 1954. However, in ''Godzilla Minus One'', a hit with U.S. audiences after its release on Netflix in June-the notorious kaiju finally meets his match in the form of a bizarre-looking fighter plane called the J7W1 Shinden. ''Godzilla Minus One'' is pretty good, a Japanese film with English dubbing, with some great flying scenes of the Shinden attacking and killing Godzilla.

Chicago is a city without a single business that sells guns. Gun stores are outlawed, but outlaws have plenty. Brandon Johnson won Chicago's tight mayoral race last year against tough-on-crime candidate Paul Vallas promising he would solve gun violence. But, neighborhoods facing the brunt of the crisis are waiting for relief that can make their streets safer now. That $30,000 he spent on personal grooming during the campaign isn't helping.

Between 2012 and 2022, there were 21,000 reported cases of penile cancer, according to Brazil's Ministry of Health. This resulted in more than 4,000 deaths and, over the past decade, there have been more than 6,500 amputations - averaging two each day.

The main espionage agency of the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to enlist every one of China's citizens into the role of spies. Alongside this, the CCP has also been rolling out other programs, including one that forms militias among Chinese companies, and another for the military training of school children.

Questions about the health effects of loneliness have motivated an explosion of new research over the past few years, particularly since social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic has raised new fears about loneliness levels worldwide.

When do you know it's time to put an elderly parent in a nursing home? The most common reason aging parents are admitted into a nursing home is because of severe cognitive and/or physical decline that requires them to need 24-hour care. A nursing home admission makes sense when private in-home care is unaffordable or if friends or family members are unable to care for them.

With the first 2024 presidential debate right around the corner, the public is eager to find out what topics will be covered and what questions the CNN moderators will ask the candidates. Fortunately, The Babylon Bee has obtained the leaked list of debate questions for the upcoming CNN presidential debate.

Even after he was caught, convicted, and sentenced to 11 years in prison, Al Capone put a contingency plan in place to ensure that his enormous wealth would still be waiting for him on the outside. Capone hid his fortune, reportedly worth millions, to prevent the government and his rivals from seizing it. Unfortunately, he and his family ultimately couldn't access it either.

Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a chain? No, wait—it's a pair of shoes on a power line. But what are they doing there?

The author of this article wants to remind you that, if you don't get shot or robbed, Bessemer, Alabama isn't such a bad place to live or visit. And, please, try to ignore those who condemn it as ''the most dangerous city in America''.

General George S. Patton was a complicated military figure, but there can be little debate over whether he was quotable. Perhaps most famous for his commanding of the 7th Army during World War II, Old ''Blood and Guts'' often gave rousing speeches to motivate, inspire, and educate his soldiers.

As shockwaves continued to reverberate around the globe following sweeping victories for the European political right, U.S. President Joe Biden asked aides why Europe didn't just arrest the conservative candidates before the election. As conservative candidates in multiple countries won by significant margins, the current American leader expressed surprise that the ruling globalist regimes didn't simply have their chief political rivals imprisoned.

''Come join us all month to celebrate heterosexuals, for without them, none of us would be here! '' Old State Saloon in the city of Eagle wrote in a Facebook post announcing a month of festivities and drink specials. Every Monday in June will be ''Hetero Male Monday,'' with a free draft beer given to ''any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male''. Sounds like a good excuse for me to turn my motorhome into the wind and set sail for Idaho.

Millions of dollars and years of planning and production go into making a war movie, so you'd hope they were historically accurate, right? While many movies can be applauded for their realism, some play so fast and loose that they end up becoming laughable.

How low can you go? There is no audio or video to back up this claim, but Joe Biden repeatedly says Donald Trump called fallen soldiers of World War II ''suckers and losers'', something Mr. Trump vehemently denies. Trump supporters cannot imagine him saying such a thing, and tend to agree with him that this must be ''fake news'' and a low blow. What do you think?

A storm of controversy erupted on social media following the crowning of Sara Milliken, a plus-size model, as Miss Alabama 2024. Outrage quickly spread among users, with many criticizing the decision, claiming it promoted ''unhealthy lifestyles.'' Comparisons were made to awarding a prize to a ''chain smoker,'' and references were drawn to the recent Miss Maryland USA crown awarded to a trans woman, labeling both as ''fake awards''.

Minnesota, and 14 other States, are not ''Castle States'', that is, you do not have the right to defend your Castle with deadly force, and if faced with that situation, your first responsibity is to try to escape from your own home any way you can.

The United Nations statement: ''We have issued an immediate arrest warrant for Neeson, and vow to hold him accountable for his totally unnecessary use of violence against poor, helpless terrorists. Just because they are holding your daughter hostage does not give you the right to resort to violence.''

An Oregon man is lucky to be alive after his truck left the road, plummeted down an embankment, and ended up in a river. Fortunately for him, dogs truly are man's best friend. As Brandon Garrett lay stranded and injured in the deep ravine, his dog Blue ran 4 miles through the densely wooded area to get help.

This article is based on interviews with more than 45 people over several months with Republicans and Democrats who participated in meetings with Biden or were briefed on them. Most of those who said Biden performed poorly were Republicans, but some Democrats said that he showed his age in several of the exchanges.

The mission was to keep the Germans guessing as to the location and timing of the invasion landings. A complex series of deception operations were devised, intended to confuse, distract and complicate German decision making and reactions.

In 1964 an Ohio woman took up the challenge that had led to Amelia Earhart's disappearance.

So, you've decided to join all the cool New Yorkers who are moving to Florida? Congratulations! It'll be just like snowbirding, except it'll last forever! Unfortunately, it's been said that New Yorkers often experience a significant culture shock when they first arrive in the Sunshine State.

The massive airborne operation took place in the pre-dawn hours of June 6, 1944--D-Day. That’s All, Brother was the first of hundreds of paratroop transport planes to deliver their human cargo over the heavily fortified beaches of Normandy, France.

In May 1942, U.S. and Australian naval and air forces were facing off against the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Battle of the Coral Sea in the South Pacific. But in a windowless basement at Pearl Harbor, a group of U.S. Navy codebreakers had intercepted Japanese radio messages suggesting Japan was planning an entirely different and potentially far more damaging operation in the Pacific theater.

For 74 years, only members of a Chicago grand jury could definitively say why they declined to indict a reporter responsible for a 1942 front page article that implied American cryptanalysts had cracked the Japanese military code. Fearing the Japanese would change their code after this story was published proved unfounded, and only minor changes were made to it for the rest of the war.

Tomatoes first arrived in Europe 500 years ago, brought by the Arabs who occupied Sicily. Later in Naples, the tomato gave rise to pasta al pomodoro. If there is pasta, there must be tomatoes, and pasta al pomodoro has become central to Italian life.

Tune to shortwave radio frequency 4625 kHz and you’ll get a taste of a mystery that has confounded the world for over four decades. The station, located in Russia, has spent over 40 years broadcasting a mysterious range of beeps, buzzes, and spoken phrases. It’s been virtually nonstop, and nobody’s ever claimed ownership or given an official explanation.

Egyptian theaters were often characterized by their opulent facades which featured hieroglyphics, ornate columns, lotus motifs, and massive statues of various Egyptian gods. Stepping into one of these theaters during Hollywood’s Golden Age was like stepping out of ordinary life and into a glamourous otherworldly experience.

It is plain to see what the Democrats were willing to sacrifice in order to win this election, leaving voters to rightly wonder – is there anything they wouldn’t do to win?

Bud Anderson single-handedly shot down 16 enemy planes in dogfights over Europe. After the war, he became one of America's top test pilots during the ''Right Stuff'' era.

The 1998 HBO film ''Pentagon Wars'' revealed the absurdity of the development of a vehicle that could deliver 24 soldiers quickly to the front in safety. By the time the special interests in and out of the Pentagon got done with it, years had gone by and $14 billion was spent developing a product that bore little resemblance to the original plan, with hardly any room inside for soldiers. Now, the army has poured more money into this vehicle with something called ''Iron Fist''.

No novel of the past century has had more influence than George Orwell's 1984. The title, the adjectival form of the author's last name, the vocabulary of the all-powerful Party that rules the superstate Oceania with the ideology of Ingsocey've all entered the English language as instantly recognizable signs of a nightmare future. It's almost impossible to talk about propaganda, surveillance, authoritarian politics, or perversions of truth without dropping a reference to 1984.

Minnesota's Democratic Farm Labor Party was formed by a merger between the Minnesota Democratic Party and the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party in 1944. While the party claims the Communists in the organization have been rooted out over the years, some of their actions say otherwise.

It was a bitter, close election, and there were furious allegations of fraud. After Democrat John Kennedy barely beat Republican Richard M. Nixon in the 1960 election, a coalition of opponents plotted to deny him the presidency in the electoral college. Most were White, conservative electors from the South who opposed the young Massachusetts senator's liberal policies, especially his support for civil rights for Black Americans.

Magnetic Rock contains magnetite, a magnetic mineral that will cause your compass needle to spin. This fact, combined with the rock's soaring 60-foot height, makes this site truly impressive.

Jonathan Yeo, the artist who painted the first official portrait of King Charles III since his coronation, says that he ''wanted to minimise the visual distractions and allow people to connect with the human being underneath,''

This is an actual comment made on a Yellowstone travel website. Some folks definitely should not go camping, they will feel much more comfortable at home, or in a nice motel or hotel with room service. Camping is just not for everyone, especially if you are a moron.

Most GPS devices allow you to use geographical coordinates as a destination, you just have to know how to enter them.

In 1924, the United States military set out to become the first to fly around the world. On April 6, 1924, hundreds of Seattleites gathered at Sand Point Naval Air Station in Northeast Seattle — now the site of Magnuson Park — as four airplanes took off from Lake Washington, beginning a history-making journey.

In 1497, Dominican Monk Savonarola encouraged his followers to destroy anything which could be considered luxuries - books, works of art, musical instruments, jewellery, silks and manuscripts were burnt during the period of carnival around Shrove Tuesday. These events became known as the 'bonfire of the vanities', the biggest happening on February 7th, 1497, when more than one thousand children scoured the city for luxuries to be burned. The items were thrown on to a huge fire while women danced around it.

Millions of people keep cash home rather than a savings account. For most, it's a normal part of their financial lifestyle. But there are dangers of keeping too much cash at home, and it's likely they don't give much thought to what could happen. There may be certain benefits to holding a small amount of cash at home for whatever purpose. But there are risks involved in doing so, particularly if it's a large amount of money.

In the past, free speech sit-ins quickly escalated into massive rallies, Vietnam War college demonstrations turned deadly and U.S. civil rights protests ended in mass arrests. The circumstances of each protest were different, but the story is familiar: Young people demanded changes on their campuses or in the world - and their impassioned demonstrations often escalated amid clashes with authorities.

''Open The Books.Com'' has a new groundbreaking search tool that helps answer the burning question Americans have been asking since 1789: ''what the heck is my government up to?''

While it's all part of evolution and Darwinian economics, the sad reality is that when these stores die, parts of our memories go with them. Still, it's a lesson that most businesses must learn: adapt with the times, or be lost forever. Here are the top 50 major retailers that no longer exist.

In the late 15th century, when the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci completed ''Vitruvian Man'' - one of his most famous drawings, which depicts the proportions of the human body - he could not have predicted it would be reproduced onto cheap notebooks, coffee mugs, T-shirts, aprons, and even puzzles. Centuries later, the Italian government and the German puzzle maker Ravensburger are battling over who has the right to reproduce ''Vitruvian Man'' and profit from it.

My eldest daughter Annie and her three daughters on a trip to Canada with me in my motorhome. The stereotypes are familiar to many of us: Firstborn children are reliable and high-achieving; middle children are sociable and rebellious (and overlooked); and youngest children are charming and manipulative.

Why do people have such inaccurate thoughts on these survey questions? The author blames the media, saying they run race, gender, and wealth stories constantly, resulting in you and I being brainwashed.

Gryffindor is one of the 4 houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter series. Here is a complete guide on what it means to be a Gryffindor, including their strengths and weaknesses.

Plane travel now is nothing like it was 5 years ago. The vaccine mandates drove many people from the industry and the lockdown-based supply chain and labor disruptions have left whole fleets in disrepair so that we have to take our chances. The inconveniences and brutalisms in the name of security take care of the rest.

Whether it’s a family member, a co-worker, or a stranger, chances are that you’ve had someone say something hurtful to you. Here’s how to deal with it.

It’s an unfortunate truth of life; not every interaction we have is a fair one. Sometimes, we get the short end of the stick. Sometimes, we’re taken for a ride, taken advantage of, or just plain taken aback. Yes, we’ve all been there—deceived, let down, or outright screwed over. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s a universal experience that unites us in our shared human frailty.

It was business as usual for the four-man crew of a RussianTu-22M3 Backfire bomber as it released its supersonic Kh-22 missiles towards a city in southern Ukraine, raining death and destruction from above and very far away.

Whoopie Goldberg, who got her nickname as a kid because she farted so much, wanted Jill Biden to be named ''Surgeon General'' after Jill assisted her husband at a campaign event. Mrs. Biden's degree is in English, not medicine. She only completed her doctorate because, according to her husband, it was a vanity thing, she just wanted to be called ''Doctor Biden''.

Abortions conducted by Planned Parenthood are a leading cause of death in the United States, with the organization recommending the procedure to pregnant clients 97 percent of the time, according to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America group.

The relationship between a father and daughter is a profound and enduring bond that holds significant importance throughout their lives. It’s a unique connection that evolves, shapes personalities, and influences various aspects of both individuals’ lives.

David Niven served in the Second World War as an officer in a British commando unit. Prior to the outbreak of the war, he had already established himself as a soldier of some repute, earning the rank of lieutenant in 1933. Now a movie star, he re-enlisted and returned to Europe. Just before a fight that might have heavy casualties, he cheered up his men with a quip: ''Look, you chaps only have to do this once. But I'll have to do it all over again in Hollywood with Errol Flynn''.

''Dr. Jane's Dream,'' an immersive spectacle by former Walt Disney Imagineers and African artisans celebrating the groundbreaking English primatologist and environmental activist, is taking form in a cultural complex in Tanzania.

Built in 1882, the New York City steam system is the United States' oldest and largest. The utility company Consolidated Edison uses those pipes, most of which are buried beneath the city's streets, to supply steam for heating, cooling and other commercial uses. But now and then, here and there, one of the pipes springs a leak and the escaping steam billows up through the nearest manhole, that's where the orange funnels come into play, to safely divert the steam high in the air.

The White House suggested President Joe Biden misspoke when he implied that cannibals feasted on his uncle after a plane crash during World War II. Joe Biden's ability to separate fact from fiction is getting to the point where, if he were not president, the relatives would be driving him to the nursing home.

Yes, Joe Biden did say his uncle was eaten by cannibals, but official military records don't support it, ''Uncle Bosie'' was a passenger in a military two-engine plane that developed mechanical problems and crashed. A lone survivor told what happened, It was out over the ocean, not over land, and no cannibals were involved, just Joe's vivid imagination.

Despite the many challenges and limitations imposed on him by his illness, Campbell was able to write one final song in 2013. Unfortunately, his health never allowed him to perform “I’m Not Going To Miss You” for any audience outside his own home. In this, his last song, Campbell evokes the devastating impact of Alzheimer’s disease, both on himself and his loved ones. At the same time, “I’m Not Going To Miss You” also strikes positive notes as it recounts a life’s worth of experiences and memories.

One of our children, who knows about such things, baked brownies for my wife Hazel to help her with pain when she was fighting cancer in 2019. Here is the recipe.

In this book are the confessions of a born flyer who always seems to know a tiny bit less than he needs as each chapter of his career unfolds. Naivety, and a positive attitude so strong it often overpowers common sense, join to make 'I Can Fly' a fascinating read.

June is ''LGBTQ Pride Month'', a time to reflect on and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer history. Undoubtedly, and like clockwork, some will wonder: But what about ''Straight Pride'' or ''White Pride''? And some people will say, ''Oh every day is ''Straight Pride'' or ''White Pride'' Day. Really?

Many people are concerned about facial recognition software being used to track their movements and the threat to civil liberties that this software poses. While this issue is being debated, there are steps you can take to avoid some facial recognition software, both online and in person.

As voter ID laws were first cropping up decades ago, Democrats fought them tooth and nail, insisting that they would be an impossible barrier to scale for the nation's most vulnerable voters, especially older people and people of color. The fact that almost anyone, including the elder and people of color had ID's, (how could they get on an airplane or cash a welfare check without it), and that all States issue photo ID's upon request to non-drivers, was conveniently ignored.

Project Artichoke or Operation Artichoke, was a CIA research project that began in 1951 and whose aim was to determine whether a person could be forced via hypnosis or forced drug addiction such as morphine or LSD, to commit an act of attempted assassination.

Are you considering buying a travel trailer in the future? If so, proceed with caution. Even the most aesthetically pleasing travel trailers can be deceiving. Here's what the manufacturers and RV dealers aren't willing to tell you about travel trailers.

For those of my generation who do not, and cannot, comprehend why Facebook exists, I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles.

The Stella Awards were inspired by Stella Liebeck. In 1992, Stella, then 79, spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee onto her own lap, burning herself. A New Mexico jury awarded her $2.9 million in damages. Ever since, the name ''Stella Award'' has been applied to any wild, outrageous, or ridiculous lawsuits - including some infamous bogus cases.

All visitors to Yellowstone National Park are warned to give the animals plenty of space, but sometimes that advice goes in one ear and out the other, as one tourist recently demonstrated. Ignoring official advice not to pet the fluffy cows, the man approached a particularly large bison and asked if he could stroke its fur. Excited, he then asked whether he could ride it before being startled back by the animal's bristling reaction.

NPR editor Uri Berliner issued a lengthy rebuke of NPR's media coverage of major news stories over the last few years, such as the Hunter Biden laptop and the COVID lab leak theory, and called out the outlet's ''efforts to damage'' Trump's presidency.

In economy on a domestic (narrow body mainline aircraft flight) there are generally three seats on each side of the plane. Correct default armrest allocation is as follows: The passenger at the window gets the armrest next to the window, the passenger at the aisle gets the armrest next to the aisle, and the passenger in the middle gets two armrests.

Whether they are ranked for their rarity, uneasiness, or gore, here are some of the strangest medical cases taken on by the doctors in the hit television show ''Grey's Anatomy'' that will keep your interest, and maybe even make your skin crawl. Like the case of the young woman with worms in her stomach, that one gave me the heebie-jeebies!

The topic of laundry is more central to our lives than we think. Some 70 or so years ago, we thought we were done with it, thanks to machines that did all the work for us. But then regulations got involved and ruined those machines, reducing their functionality. Then the detergents were wrecked through the same means, eliminating the phosphates that had always been in soap.

As millions of spectators gazed at the phenomenon from the ground, Elon Musk's Starlink satellite captured the eclipse during an orbit. And, Astronauts from NASA witnessed the event from space as the International Space Station shared a clip that showed the shadow of the moon passing over the Earth.

The issue is that athletes are not heroes just because of their job. Day to day they do not do sacrifice or put their lives on the line. They work hard at their sport, but they do it because they love it. The professional athletes, in reality, just go out on the field and play their sport. They hit a ball in tennis. Catch, tackle, and throw in football. Dribbles, pass and shoot in basketball. Their profession alone doesn’t exemplify heroism.

Because they have electric motors, ebikes aren't like regular bicycles. However, national parks treat them effectively as equals, essentially allowing them in the same places as conventional bikes, as long as they can also be pedaled.

Towns and tourism businesses and organizations in the path of the 2024 eclipse are planning events. Some are free, some are big bucks.

Concerns about the effects of media on consumers the and extent of media bias go back to the 1920s. Commentator Walter Lippmann noted that citizens have limited personal experience with government and the world and the media, through their stories, place ideas in citizens' minds. These ideas become part of the citizens' frame of reference and affect their decisions. Lippmann's statements led to the hypodermic theory, which argues that information is ''shot'' into the receiver's mind and readily accepted.

The author of this article, posted in 2016, made a plan to visit every one of the 71 Minnesota State Parks, including details of the ones she'd already visited, with a list of all of them. Hopefully, she'll post an update and let us all know how she did.

For weeks, experts have been warning people not to look at the total solar eclipse without the proper safety gear. Did you listen? Looking at the sun, during an eclipse or any other time, without certified viewing glasses can cause permanent eye damage.

American has created a system to encourage you to join their frequent flyer program – but credit an unintended incentive to hold off cancelling trips you aren’t going to take until as late as the day of travel, so that you have longer to use your travel credits. Southwest Airlines, in contrast and to its credit, does not expire its credits.

The American railroads are reminiscent of a bygone era. These were the trains that tamed the Wild West, fueled the Gold Rush, and served as the backbone of the Industrial Revolution. At its peak, it was the most luxurious mode of transportation that money could buy.

I've been getting emails (and maybe you have as well) telling me to stock up on groceries, booze, and toilet paper before the 2024 Eclipse, and to stay home and lock the door and load the shotgun. The 2017 Eclipse was pretty peaceful, why the craziness about this one?

For years, The Epoch Times was a small, low-budget newspaper with an anti-China slant that was handed out free on New York street corners. But in 2016 and 2017, the paper made two changes that transformed it into one of the country’s most powerful digital publishers.

How many times have we seen a toddler staring wide-eyed at a cell phone in their hands? How early is too early?

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. A glimpse at the map of the April 2024 North American solar eclipse, however, shows a path from west to east. What gives? The answer lies in the relationship between the rotation of Earth and the orbit of the moon, this path moves in the opposite direction of the sun's apparent trek over Earth each day. But during an eclipse, the motion of the moon's shadow-not the sun-is what matters. Earth rotates from west to east.

The Mason Wing Walking business in Sequim, Washington, that allowed paying thrill-seekers to clamber over the wings of a 1940s Stearman biplane while in flight is no more.

Here are four reasons why Trump could win the November 2024 election against Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.

Joe Biden has said he attended Delaware State University, a mostly Black college, on several occasions, and this is not the only time he's faced controversy for embellishing his own biographical history. He also has said he was the first in his family to attend college and that his relatives were coal miners -- two statements he later recanted. Joe Biden graduated from the University of Delaware, not Delaware State University.

The Tennessee Senate passed a bill with wording that targets the controversial "chemtrails" conspiracy theory, calling for a ban on the intentional injection of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere to affect temperature, weather or sunlight. It will be interesting to see how they plan on enforcing it.

Bert Lahr, who played the cowardly lion in “The Wizard of Oz,” went on to star in a famous ad campaign with the premise that fighting temptation is futile.

In 2017, an estimated 215 million U.S. adults (88% of U.S. adults) viewed the solar eclipse, either directly or electronically. They experienced the Moon pass in front of the Sun, blocking part or all of our closest star’s bright face. The eclipse in 2024 could be even more exciting due to differences in the path, timing, and scientific research.

New speculation about the toddler's death and pressure to force DNA testing of evidence have revived scrutiny of what was known as the ''crime of the century.''

Howard Hughes called it the H-4 Hercules-a fitting name for the largest and most powerful airplane of its time. The press, however, dubbed his prized creation the ''Spruce Goose''-a name Hughes despised. But the label stuck, and the big airplane became another part of Hughes' enigmatic legacy-a story of how one man's uncompromising ambition propelled his remarkable ascendancy and eventual descent into madness.

FATHER GUIDO SARDUCCI has spent the past twenty years living and working in the United States as gossip columnist and rock critic for the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. Recently, he was also appointed Assistant Managing Editor for the Vatican Inquirer. American audiences first became familiar with Father Sarducci during the golden years of ''Saturday Night Live,'' when he appeared as a commentator on ''Weekend Update.'' He's also been a frequent and welcome guest on ''The Tonight Show''.

I've noticed the young men on ''The Weather Channel'' are wearing suits that my dad would have said he ''wouldn't wear to a dog fight''. Suit coats that aren't long enough to cover your rear end, and trousers so slim these guys look like they are wearing leotards. Will the trend come back to what the sign in an area of ''Men's Wearhouse'' that I visited recently, that said ''CLASSIC CUT''? Maybe.

Many people in Washington, D.C. are infected with TDS. Although comical, it is rather pathetic that his most prominent critics never hired, managed or did a payroll. Yet, they are somehow experts on Trump’s finances. Donald Trump was a man who made billions, lost billions, hired people and lifted people out of poverty to middle-class incomes.

Easter is a festival and holiday celebrated by millions of people around the world who honor the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred three days after his crucifixion at Calvary. It is also the day that children excitedly wait for the Easter bunny to arrive and deliver their treats of chocolate eggs.

President Joe Biden is facing criticism from Donald Trump's campaign and religious conservatives for proclaiming March 31 - which corresponds with Easter Sunday this year - as ''Transgender Day of Visibility.''

If you are headed to South Dakota on vacation, don't miss Custer State Park in the beautiful Black Hills. The largest State Park in the United States, and bigger than many National Parks with, they say, as many or more Buffalo than Yellowstone. Not to be missed!

A year or so ago, I started to put together a first aid kit for the motorhome. Traveling alone, often in wilderness areas, I felt I needed a good one, and even purchased a gunshot trauma kit, something often carried by gun enthusiasts when they go to the shooting range. You just never know when something might happen.

Streaming services have transformed the way we view film and television, leaving us isolated on our couches, subject to the suggestions of an algorithm. But a small group of film buffs with a fondness for physical media are hoping to lure people back into the real world. Like me, with hundreds of DVD's accumulated over the years, offering them for free rental on the honor system in front of the Minnesota family lake cabin every Summer.

Concrete shoes, or concrete overshoes, is a method of murder or body disposal usually associated with criminals such as the Mafia. It involves weighing down the victim, who may be dead or alive, with concrete and throwing them into water in the hope the body will never be found. The term has become a euphemism for a threat of death by criminals. While a common trope in fiction, only one real-life case has ever been authenticated, but it was done once on an episode of ''The Sopranos''.

Hospice is medical care for people with a short life expectancy, when cure isn't an option, and the focus shifts to, as they say, symptom management and quality of life. But, it really is a place to go to die, with all the morphine the patient needs or wants, life saving techniques are stopped, and the body starts to shut-down.
