The shiny new four wheel drive pickup rolled into the yard. As Rancher Smith walked up to the driver’s side window he was greeted by a big jovial smiling face. “Howdy, I’m your new neighbor across the road and I just wanted to stop in and say Hello,” the obviously happy fellow beamed. “The Misses and I have wanted to move out here in the country for years and we’re just tickled pink we finally got to do it,” he went on. As he got out of the pickup it was obvious that if he was tickled pink or an...

Its primary mandate, to observe the early universe in the infrared spectrum, has been remarkably successful thus far.

It’s been over half of my life that she had been dealing with the after effects and sadly I feel like I mourned the grandma I knew as a child a long time ago. I spent so many Sundays at their house after ch...

However, with dwindling aquifer levels, State reg...
