Perspective: Dealing with dengue fever
If this column seems muddled, please blame dengue fever. For the last seven days it’s pounded its way through my body, starting with shakes and high fevers, progressing to blinding headaches and chills, itchy skin, weakness, and general misery. If it grabbed a few brain cells on its trip through my head region, I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s been a long week, and my bed and I have been inseparable for all of it. L...

Disappointed in KDM's use of photo of dead bear

A decent photo could have been used, or if one wasn't available, none would have been better. I do understand there are times when a bear may have to be killed in defens...
