Politicians use statistics and polls to emphasize the parts of the truth that they want us to believe. But, statistics should not be used as simple talking points. “Gun deaths: are not the same as “gun violence.” Seven people died in Mississippi two weeks ago. Several more were hit by gunfire. Even more were missed. If we ignore those who were nearly hit, we have ignored the reality of danger. Tell us how many shell cases were picked up by police? That's the measure of potential death. Potential is measured by how many bullets missed.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is in charge of flood control on the lower Mississippi River (1928 Flood Control Act). Congress gave it that job to prevent another disastrous 1927 flood. The Corps has spent billions on its Mississippi Rivers and Tributaries Project (MRTP). It is supposed to keep the largest future flood (Project Flood) inside the levees and pass it safely to the Gulf. But the Corps’ 2019 flow line study predicts levees will overtop again — in a lesser flood.

Christmas morning would find my sister and me rushing through the hallway into the den hoping that Santa had left a multitude of toys, firecrackers, candies, and nuts. The excitement couldn’t be contained and on most of these mornings, Pop would snap a couple photos capturing the expressions on our faces. To say eyes were wide open, and mouths agape, would be an understatement There were wrapped gifts under the tree that we tore into, leaving the shag carpet completely covered in ribbons and bows.

Happy New Year! 2026 beckons.
Hard to believe it’s that time again. The holiday season is drawing to a close. One more week and then it’s time to tighten the belt and get on with the new year.
At 67, my New Year’s celebrations are getting a little less rowdy and late. When I was young, I wouldn’t even dream about not staying up until midnight to watch the new year roll in. Now it’s a bit less exciting.
