My wife and I traveled the country for about 10 years in our motorhome. It was a wonderful part of my life.


Ignoring Clint Eastwood's advice in "Dirty Harry" that opinions, like certain body parts, are best kept to yourself. Using Famine as a Weapon of War
As I travel the country in my motorhome, Cody, Wyoming is one of my favorite places. Agitation often accompanies dementia and often precedes the diagnosis of common age-related disorders of cognition such as Alzheimer's disease. Tempus Fugit. Ron Howes

Photo Shop is my best friend. I always wanted to be a reporter on that show. My daughter Annie traveled with me in the motorhome the 1600 miles from Minnesota to New Hampshire to visit my oldest son Glenn. Batten down the hatches, bad weather ahead.

In the old days in Alaska, the Eskimos, when mom and dad got too old to be useful or interesting, the kids would put them on an ice floe and float them out to sea. Who knows, this might get popular again. Ron Howes Ron ''Homer'' Howes Ron Howes
LIFE Magazine was the treasured photographic magazine that chronicled the 20th Century. When I get inspired every once in a while, no subject seems out of bounds, something from current events, or reminiscing about the past when life wasn't really all that simple, but we like to remember it that way. Have you ever wondered how you would look if you were a yellow character like the ones you see on TV? My daughter Annie and her family went with me to visit Jasper National Park in Alberta Canada, and many places between there and her home in Minnesota in August, 2023.
The view down the hallway from my bedroom in the motorhome. My son David gave me this ''Persistence of Memory'' clock, modeled after Salvador Dali's famous painting about time, and I found a spot for it. The National Park arrowhead logo is only manufactured by one company and it can only be sold to National Parks. I got mine from a company in China.
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.

In 1916, more than 37 tons of bricks were mailed to Vernal, Utah, from Salt Lake City, to build the local bank building. The postage was cheaper than paying a freight company to haul them to the remote town, and the post office lost money on every brick.

Just before the 2020 presidential election, a website called National File published pages of a journal it said was obtained from ''a whistleblower'' and belonged to President Biden's daughter. The site published what it claimed was ''the full 112-page diary'' that included entries about the author's time in a Florida drug rehabilitation facility as well as the author's romantic interests, family life and other deeply personal topics.

Elizabeth Warren fans re-discovered the 1984 cookbook she contributed to called ''Pow Wow Chow''. The cookbook, edited by her cousin and listing the Harvard professor and Democratic Senate contender as a contributor named ''Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee''. On the basis of hearsay alone, Elizabeth Warren really had convinced herself that she is a Cherokee.

The economic incentive to add COVID-19 to diagnostic lists and death certificates is clear and does not require any conspiracy. By creating a massive federal program that links goosed Medicare payments to COVID-19 treatments, the feds incentivized hospitals to add COVID-19 to diagnostic lists and death certificates.

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.

Actor Allan Arbus played the character of Major Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H so well that co-star Alan Alda said he found himself opening up to Arbus as though he was a real psychiatrist. Strangers would approach Arbus and ask for medical advice, including a doctor in a hospital who called him aside for a consultation about a patient.Bereavement is not linear. It takes multiple forms at different times in one’s life. It is influenced, among other things, by the strength of our attachment to the lost loved one and how central he or she was to our lives. Bereavement never really ends.

This week we lost our long time friend and frequent traveling companion, Sandra Barth, wife of my old friend from the banking business, Don. ''Sandy'' fought Multiple Sclerosis valiantly for years, with Don serving as her caregiver.

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.
Another celebrity rolls right over to BLM demands to avoid blacklisting his career. If he actually believes this, just another Hollywood liberal.
