By Clint Yount These days, it’s hard to believe what you hear. Whether they’re fanciful words rolling off the forked tongue of a politician or new recommendations from the folks at the CDC, it’s just hard to believe everything you hear. Lots of extremely gullible folks will believe pert near everyth...

By Clint Younts Last week, my wife and I celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. Oh, don’t go congratulating me; I don’t deserve a lot of credit. It was my wife who married a wild-eyed cowboy and tolerated me for over four decades. I suppose she might claim to have domesticated this ol’ polecat alo...

By Clint Younts S ome of y’all who religiously read this column might think I’ve got all the answers to the many mysteries of life. Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but there are times I see or hear something that makes me scratch my head and say, “What the heck were they thinking?” Like seeing so...

By Clint Younts M ost of us watched the Final Four and saw Kansas win, but were they really the best team? Remember the Chiefs-Bills overtime game back in January?

If y’all have one of those Roku thingamabobs and have an hour to kill, just tak...

By Clint Younts Well, we made it through another year. Lots of folks weren’t so fortunate. So far, 2022 is looking a lot like the past two years. Hospitals are full of folks who are now wishing they had gotten that dang shot. The weather is as crazy as a blue jay who found a worm lying beside an emp...

You brave souls might’ve opted to fly the unfriendly skies instead of spending the holidays stuck in traffic on I-35. And once y’all get to your destina...

By Clint Younts D ang, this supply chain snafu has really gotten out of hand. I haven’t really been affected much before now. I’m not looking to buy a new car. Nothing I needed was sitting in a cargo box out in some west coast seaport. I’ve been doing just fine, until today. With this crazy weather,...

By Clint Younts Well, it’s raining here today. S’posed to rain all day, but I’m not complaining. With all these new homes being built over our dwindling aquifer, we need all the rain we can get. I’m still a tad confused about the massive construction in a neighborhood that has water restrictions 11 ...
