Remember When... Music and Baseball
originally published: 06/23/2023 There was a time when the only music you heard at a Major League ballpark was organ music and the songs were all classic sing-a-longs. But then came the walk-up song. First instance of walk-up songs was in the 70’s by Chicago White Sox organist Nancy Faust, who played the home state song for each of the players in the Sox line-up.

4 Reasons Remote Work is Here to Stay
At the end of 2019, industry leaders predicted what the new decade would hold: a greater reliance on the cloud, the growth of IoT, the continued rise of telecommunications and remote working.

Rational discussion about school shooting safety must be had - Mailbox for April 17, 2018
Recent events show how hard it is to hit a target Sacramento, Calif.: Two police officers each fire 10 shots at Stephon Clark, hitting him eight times, killing him. Twenty shots were fired, and the victim was hit eight times for a "hit rate" of 40 percent. That means twelve bullets fired in that neighborhood that night could have hit anything or anyone. Studies indicate a hit rate of 40 percent under the conditions that night is actually on the high side.
Use of policy riders a disservice to American people - Mailbox for Feb. 20, 2018

Issues should stand on their own merit with honesty of intention, not underhandedly written in like an afterthought.

"We have to save the American people from a collapsing Obamacare law," Rep. Cory Gardner has stated. Makes him sound like our savior, right? Reality is, Sen. Gardner, Rep. Ken Buck and their fellow Republicans have worked tirelessly to destroy the Affordable Care Act from day one. Within days of becoming law, Republican controlled states and Republicans in Congress began formulating legislation and filing lawsuits to chip away at various provisions of the ACA.

A record 1,300 advocates swarmed Capitol Hill to raise the alarm on the growing threat of Alzheimer's in our nation. Since the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's is the aging process, we all have reason to be very concerned about the future. Since 2000, deaths from heart disease have decreased by 14 percent, while deaths from Alzheimer's disease have increased by 89 percent.
Mailbox for September 2
In a recent letter to the editor regarding the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), the author stated, “it is another decree forced on consumers by an overbearing federal bureaucracy.” While the author demonstrated his knowledge about specifics of ethanol in our gasoline, he did not demonstrate equal knowledge of how our government works. Indeed, the RFS, signed into law in 2005 by George W.
