Our life here in Eau Claire, WI, continues to follow the stay at home recommendations and social distancing. So, it has been a very quiet summer thus far with no parades or car shows at all. There are a few being held, but being my age, I am not taking any chances, so we are passing them up. I mi

Yes, David Burch, it was nice to meet you and your wife at the Comic-Con event. I wish we would have had more time to visit. Over the years I have been able to meet quite a few of the Digest members as they travel through Wisconsin. Some were able to come to our house for a nice visit and others

Dud tells Mr. Darling that he went looking for Ernest T., but talked to his cousin (whom we never see) because he couldn't find him. This cousin could have written the note that accompanied the rock. There's no proof that Ernest T. wrote the note himself. Floyd's is definitely open on Mondays.

On TAGS, I think the writers used overalls as a shortcut to say to the viewers "Hey everyone, this person is a farmer". When you only have 30 minutes, you have to learn to do shortcuts. Kinda like when someone comes out on the stage with floppy shoes, and a big red nose, we know immediat
