Note To Portland: Switch To Decaf

A Texas-born barnstormer coaxed his second-hand airplane into the thick clouds over a New York airfield on July 17, 1938, and to the amazement of wide-eyed onlookers turned a routine flight into an unscheduled trans-Atlantic crossing.


The handful of spectators waited in vain for Douglas Corrigan to set a course for a California. When he vanished from sight on an easterly heading, one witness remarked, “I

The Candidates Are The Science Fiction


A sum of $100 million has been allocated by Congress to the two political parties for security at their conventions, and stories are being circulated of new “science fiction weapons” that Denver and Minneapolis might be tempted to use against hapless protesters, foreshadowing an American police state.

The weapons said to be under consideration include an energy beam fired by microwave pulse, that makes the skin feel like it

The first thing he does in giving body assessments is to test for proper hydration by simply putting pressure on the hand to see how quickly color returns. The majority of participants were dehydrated despite the tables being strewn with coffee cups and soda cans. To improve overall health

United Fascist Church?


John Wesley is turning over in his grave. Never in his wildest dreams would the director of the Methodist denomination have imagined that his Christian brethren would knowingly subsidize an entire center whose sole purpose was propagating a political ideology against their own charter and morals.

CATCHING SCHOOLERS


It might be summertime, but did you know that bass have already gone back to school? Back to schools of baitfish, that is. That’s because there are huge clouds of baitfish everywhere.

When bass are targeting schools of baitfish like this, they can make easy targets for anglers.


To make this happen, you need to find the schools
