In the Beginning In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created ice cream and doughnuts. And Satan said, "You want ...

It has occurred to us that, although it would be a major expenditure, the town might benefit from investing in an indoor swimming and recreation complex with library, etc. It could be a benefit and attraction to "snow birds" from North America and elsewhere as well as to locals and others who could ...
