Did you ever stop to think what becomes of all those budding young chemists when they grow old and retire? Here's an inspirational story pulled off the net about one: As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world. It is at these times that our ...

I have a question for those from Ohio. A guy I work with is from up there and he has been telling me that deer hunting is shotgun only or a handgun. I was wondering if a carbine in a pistol caliber is O?K? Rusty, Not ok. Would be right next door in Indiana where I live but not in Ohio. Bob in NE In...

It appears to be about 40 miles southwest of Lima. If you drew a straight line between Lima and Fort Recovery it would go right through Grand Lake St. Marys.

Got soaked to the bone yesterday but had a great time. A couple friends and I went to the Fort Recovery Coon Dog Trials in Fort Recovery, OH.

When I talked to him I wished that I had a recorder. I recall his story in bits and pieces. He said that most of the work was grenade and flame thrower work and that all the machine gun nests were connected by miles of tunnels. When they cleaned out one nest the Japanese brought a fresh crew and equ...

I'm on San Juan Island in Washington on vacation visiting my daughter. On the first leg of my flight yesterday I sat next to Jim Baize from Indianapolis.

This topic should probably die but I'll weigh in on it because I've never been accused of being smart. No one here has the words to make me angry; if I don't like what's behind door no. 1, I'll go to door no. 2. I refuse to engage in a "He's lookin' at me." bar fight; I'm not 25 anymore. I...

You can't ignore breeding in a dog. If a pointer comes from a long line of big running field trial dogs for horseback mounted hunters, no trainer in the world is going to turn it into a close working personal grouse dog. A dog who was bred for aggression is going to be aggressive; he'll defer to his...

Newcastle Brown Ale or Blue Moon. A couple of years ago I had surgery and this was the first beer I had purchased on New Years Eve. It was Saison Dupont a Belgian beer and it was about $12 for a liter. Hey it was New Years Eve and I could have only one. It went down real good.
