When life feels rigged

The customer behind me joined the conversation, “You can have my tickets if you want to wait for them.” He’d overheard my plans for the million dollars we plan on winning through the grocery store’s Monopoly game and showed support. As I stood aside, an attempt to give the customer privacy while checking out, the level of awkward rose and I contemplated my “why”. Why would someone subject themselves to discomfort for something trivial? What felt like hours later and with more game pieces in hand I headed home with an answer to my “why”.

When peeps line the store shelves and egg hunts are scheduled nobody wants to wait a moment longer for the glory of spring.

Come fall we’ll welcome those flakes, so why not welcome them during the transition of spring?

BONNERS FERRY — In a diverse world that has grown closer through the internet and social media, there is no substitution for talking face to face with someone from a different part of world and a culture different from ours, especially for young adults. In the informative years, when ideas are still being formed and minds are open to learning about different cultures, the ability to learn about, and discuss a broad spectrum of cultural differences and similarities, from food to politics, is a fantastic opportunity.

Hey bears … it's time to wake up!

The manner in which humans wake up is well-documented. It usually involves half-opened eyes, messy hair, yawning, stretching, and maybe a grumble or two before hitting that snooze button. Still, it’s far more fast-paced than a bear emerging from its den after hibernation. But if bears struggled to get a good night’s sleep like so many people do instead of indulging in six to seven months of what sounds like the best sleep ever, odds are they would be a lot more tempted to crawl back in the cozy hole after snoozing.
