The train...

Dalton had been hinting for days about a "surprise" he had for me at the ranch. Earlier that evening, over dinner, he'd mentioned part of the surprise was already in his...

Simply remove the sprouts, peel and remove any areas starting to green and you are ready chop, slice or dice for your favorite soup recipe....

This week, I attended the Davenport City Council meeting, a staple in my routine now. I'm making it a point to show up to every local meeting, not just because it's my job, but because, oddly enough, I enjoy them. Where else can you witness democracy i...
