OP-ED: It’s hard to see why eye doctors can’t tell time
September 29, 2026
If this is not malpractice, it has to be a breach of promise.  Sitting in an eye doctor’s waiting area watching “The Price is Right” for 38 minutes past your appointment time sure…

OP-ED: Latest gas prices fueling déjà vu
September 25, 2026
All the news just repeats itself, like some forgotten dream that we’ve both seen.  John Prine wrote that lyric in 1971, about the time I drew one of…

OP-ED: Nobody ever said it would be all smooth sailing
August 21, 2026

OP-ED: Why do I have to foot this ‘medical’ bill?
August 11, 2026
Several years ago I had so much trouble with my left foot that I had to hop to the bathroom first thing in the morning. This discomforted me,…

OP-ED: Thank you for your patronage…now, go away
August 4, 2026

OP-ED: Those who teach teachers never seem to learn
July 30, 2026
There are thousands of teachers going back to school this week, and you would be wise to give them a wide berth. They are liable to have already been pushed close to the limits of their endurance,…
