Because the temperature at no time dropped below freezing, no damage was done to the fruit crop. (Plus more news from 1908.)

Not merely play, but stand on stage a bona fide guitar hero. While I never realized that rock god moment, a flicker of hope remained. That hope was snuffed out by someone smaller than a six string Stratocaster.

Without some thought, site preparation, and follow-up treatment, survival rates can be quite disappointing. Many well-meaning tree planters learn these lessons the hard way.

Perhaps a bit of ironic payback for all those bicuspid-bitten chocolate ears. My fall from parental grace started with a seemingly innocent question this past Easter weekend.

Gray had a flock of White Plymouth Rock chickens and slaughtered 16, leaving them bleeding and mangled on the floor of the coop. (Plus more news from 1908.)

Evidently grown men only walk around with Mickey Mouse ears in the gated community known as the Magic Kingdom.

Like a beacon of unenlightenment, male intuition is the guiding force behind a myriad of questionable decisions. How else do you explain Christmas shopping at gas stations, mullets, and Web sites devoted to pick up lines.

Myra Brown was granted a decree from Sylvester Brown and Margaret Horen was from Francis C. Brown. The grounds for both cases were extreme and repeated cruelty and non-support.
