digital art Powered by DALL·E 3 It’s a strange title, but hear me out on this one. I believe we have reached a state where common sense is in such a state of decline and that far too many people have become dependent on their devices and apps to make it through...

digital art Powered by DALL·E 3 The first time I heard this, I believe, was back in 2010 when a retired USA Air Force Colonel discussed how the military regarded Alberta regarding energy security. I’ve taken that concept and expanded upon it as a way to present the...

digital art Powered by DALL·E 3 This may seem like a strange title, but please consider it for a moment. What would you be willing to give up to move forward? It is a tough lesson to learn, and at some point, a person may reach a level where they have all they want,...

I’m in a time crunch today. I missed my deadline last week to get an article in, and it will be by the skin of my teeth if I can make it in this week. The best-made plans of Mice and Men apparently are alive and well. This week’s topic has been in the back of my...

It’s been a while since I’ve put my fingers on the keyboard to reach out through our little local papers. Honestly, for whatever reason, things just seem to be getting in the way of me finding a half hour to sit down uninterrupted to be able to make it...

It’s been a while since I wrote a What Matters to You article. Heck, it was last year already! Ok, my 50-year-old Dad’s humor is coming out, but I want to keep a positive tone for the first article in 2024. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and took...

I have a superpower: apparently, it is invisibility! I discovered this ability a few weeks back when I heard in the house from the opposition members and the opposition party leader of the present that none of the UCP team would have real town halls to engage their...
