Just when I think maybe… the pain in my head comes back with a vengeance. Sigh… So, it’s a good think I have material from Slim Randles to share, and it’s a perfect day to read some nonsense from good ol’ Windy, the man who mangles the English language like no other. But first this

It’s not Wednesday, but any day is a good one for a guest post from Slim Randles. But first this picture, which has nothing to do with the subject of his post, I just thought it was an interesting photo I took the other day. I’ve been coloring again, now that the quilt project is

As always, I’m happy to have Slim Randles as my Wednesday’s Guest. He never fails to entertain us with a yarn or two about the guys at the Mule Barn Truck Stop. He shares these columns free with us here, as well as readers of several hundred newspapers around our fair nation. So, if you
