    Publisher’s Perspective Chad Koenen There is perhaps no more important phrase in a dad’s arsenal than the phrase “go ask your mother.” Perfecting the delivery of the phrase can take a few years, but when you do, these four words can be the difference between a lengthy “discussion” with a child or staying arms length… Read More

    Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver Few blockbuster franchises are as reviled by critics as “Transformers.” The 2007 original and its 2009 sequel “Revenge of the Fallen” both have special places among the worst movies of all time. Later sequels weren’t exactly improvements (though 2018 spinoff “Bumblebee” was surprisingly-well-reviewed), but they didn’t inspire the same vitriol, if… Read More

    The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda Here’s a question for you: How many coffee cups should one household have? Or need. Or possess?

    Ask A Trooper Sgt. Jesse Grabow Question: I see a lot of vehicles broke down and on the side of the road in the summer months. This is when we have our best weather but I am not sure if people realize how hard the heat can be on a vehicle. Many look like they are on… Read More

    Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver How wrong I was about 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” When I saw the first trailer, I remember groaning about starting a fourth big-screen Spider-Man continuity when we were still in the middle of the Tom Holland version, hadn’t had a proper conclusion for the Andrew Garfield version, and weren’t far… Read More

Wood ticks because this is their time of the year in Minnesota, and doctors because there are new cases of Covid-19 in Minnesota. My nephew—he’s not really a nephew, he is by proper description a second cousin, being the son of a cousin, but… Read More
