As a soon-to-be 83 year old widower for 7 years, traveling alone is no longer the experience I enjoyed with my wife of 53 years, when we hit the road full time 15 years ago. Hazel and I went everywhere, documenting it in our travel blog at www.mytripjournal.com/ronandhazel. Hazel died of cancer in 2019, and I tried to keep up the travel routine, but it just wasn't the same. Depression

Is the author of this article a whack-job, or is he on to something? As a senior citizen, I read this with interest, the last flu shot I had was back in the 1970's when the boss made all of the employees get the ''swine flu'' shot, no exceptions. More people died from the shot than the flu. When COVID came along, one of my children called and yelled at me that I was commiting suicide by not getting the jab. Somehow, I knew better, and never got one. Is the author of this article a whack-job, or is he on to something?

During late April and early May, wildlife teams released 42 juvenile eastern indigo snakes into carefully selected conservation sites. Half of the snakes were introduced at the Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Reserve in Florida's Panhandle, while the remaining snakes were released in Alabama's Apalachicola National Forest. Evidently, the Burmese Pythons haven't been eradicating enough of Florida's animal population to suit these folks.

Divided into a rare multi-panel strip, this entry shows four ducks quacking at each other. Suddenly (and rather nonsensically), one of them yells, ''Chicken!'' In the next panel, they are seen ducking (pun not intended) just as a chicken passes by in midair. Finally, in the last panel, the ducks continue quacking. As a Far Side, this isn't Gary Larson's brightest or deepest, admitting he was running short on ideas, and finally quit doing these daily cartoons because he really did run out of ideas.Divided into a rare multi-panel strip, this entry shows four ducks quacking at each other.

From our collection of thousands of articles.Canada is the second-largest country by land mass in the world. Canada also completes its elections in one day. Canada does not use electronic voting machines. Canada uses paper ballots, voting takes place in one day, and results are released when the polls close. Why are certain politicians so against using paper ballots (you know who they are) and want to push voting by mail allowing ballots to arrive days after the election, or using ballot-harvesting drop boxes? Simple, it's easier for them to cheat.Canada is the second-largest country by land mass in the world. Canada also completes its elections in one day. Canada does not use electronic voting machines.
