It frightens some people when it is flown on the back of a truck. I find that very interesting. I had always thought the “Stars and Stripes” was the Union flag during the war between the States. Wasn’t the Union the side that freed the slaves? Wouldn’t that mean that it was anything except racist?

Short Story: The Last Alien Man

By Jack Mint I Being the last surviving male on a planet populated only by women isn’t as great as it sounds. They poke and prod. Now I know what these gals felt like getting pawed by guys. Except there’s no more of them. Only me left. It’s what they say—the women of another planet.

Financial Suicide is not necessary

Dear Editor, There is some risk to all of life. A friend and his wife had a house paid for and a substantial savings account.

He was aware of a family who had recently closed a business so he offered to buy it from them and even employed a family member to run it.
