Clark Hollow Ramblings: Hunting on Sunday
Clark Hollow Ramblings: It ain’t so. It just ain’t so.
I have been reading with some interest the issue of lead poisoning in our bald eagle population.

Clark Hollow Ramblings: The world as teacher
My wife and I were treated a week or so ago with the opportunity to babysit for a few hours with our granddaughter. Tana is two and a half now, and it is not always nursery rhymes and giggles and kisses for Meme and Poppa. Yes, even this angelic, adorable bundle of life and...
