Summers at Nolin Lake: Jon Boat
My Aunt Jean and Uncle Roy owned a lot on Nolin Lake many years ago. In the spring and summer months we often went there to camp, fish, swim and generally enjoy ourselves. In his early 20s my cousin jay purchased a used Jon boat. I think it was made out of dropped-forged battleship armor;…
Read More4-wheel drive equals 4-wheel dumb
By Ralph Dickerson I truly believe we need to enact a law that mandates that any person wanting to purchase a 4-wheel drive vehicle take a 6-week class on how to drive such vehicles. I suggest this course of action because too many people behind the wheel of these vehicles do not know how to…
Read MoreFunny things in life 2
By Ralph Dickerson I have a habit of often engaging my mouth before I engage my brain, which sometimes leads to me saying funny things. I failed to engage my brain several times while working here at the Clarion. One afternoon the phone rang and I answered it. I guess the lady on the other…

Over the years I have experienced my fair share of humorous incidents; some of the incidents involved things that happened to me, and others involved things I said.

Read MoreDoes anyone have vodka?
By Ralph Dickerson I do not drink alcohol, but after the day I had Tuesday, I am starting to rethink this position! The day started off like any other day—I got ready for work, stopped at Jumpin Jacks for my morning fix of decaffeinated coffee and headed to work. From there it simply went downhill.…
Read MoreNot our fault
Last week turned out to be a very busy week, especially after the newspaper came out. Starting Thursday afternoon we were getting calls at the Clarion office about people not getting their newspapers.
