Do you have room in your heart?
Lucius is a sweet, handsome 2-year-old boy, but he’s a bit shy! He would do best in a more relaxed home with someone who will be patient with him and let him settle in at his own pace. He would do well as an only cat or with kitties who are more relaxed. Dogs may […]

Electric Vehicles – Very funny
In an August 2021 column, Al Diamon scoffed about electric vehicles (Politics & Other Mistakes: Shock treatment), with the usual folksy, “here’s-the-actual-story” approach. Ha ha, we get it.

What I’ve learned
In a 1909 edition of Leslie’s Weekly, a new play was reviewed by theater critic Harriet Quimby.

Recently on a British talk show, someone mentioned the Famous Five. I assumed they were talking about a rock group – perhaps the Dave Clark Five? Then one of the panelists got a bit misty-eyed and said, “I love the Famous Five books. I read them all when I was young – multiple times.” I […]
