Hi, so should states be allowed to jail someone for handing out water to people waiting in line to vote? What if that person is Larry David?

Larry Mize will not soon forget the 2023 Masters Tournament. He stood on the 16th green at Augusta National Golf Club during Friday’s second round when a wind gust suddenly caused two tall pines to crack and crash to the ground near the adjacent 17th tee, halting play. “It was pretty scary,” Mize says. Also, it was Mize’s 40th consecutive Masters and his final one. They will somehow pull off next week’s Masters without him for the first time since 1983.

The Wo-Zha-Wa Days Fall Festival is happening in Wisconsin Dells this weekend, Sept. 15-17, 2023. This event marks the end of the season, and it’s also a great time to check out the dark side of the Dells. Climb aboard the Ghost Boat at dusk for a journey into the horrific legend of the haunted Cold Water Canyon. This experience is basically a haunted house, boat ride, and spooky hike rolled into one, with live actors lurking in the dark canyon passages.

Gentle reader, We were in Vernon on Tuesday afternoon and were dismayed to see large sections of the famous folk art Farmer John mural created by Les Grimes in 1957, and that he died while painting in 1968, have been tagged or blacked out. Today, the shuttered pork processing plant caught fire.

I’m not exactly known for my musical expertise; I’m an amateur guitarist who dicks around with a fake rock band that sounds like something 1993 vomited up on an old crinkly VHS tape (and I’m damned proud of those riffs and licks, dude), but no one pays me to bloviate about music. But every now and I then I have a thought about the pop music landscape and since you made the mistake of legitimizing this platform for me you now get to read it.

Many movies are evocative of other movies or mythologies, often consciously but sometimes not. This can help the piece, as we summon memories and emotions associated with those other films and — the makers of the new movie hope — transfer them to their picture. Too often, though, we find ourselves comparing the new flick unfavorably to the previous ones. “Last Sentinel” is an intriguing, if not entirely realized, science fiction drama that reminded me of a number of movies, sci-fi and not.

Doug Jones was on the move right from the beginning. Born in Covina, California in 1957, the Jones family relocated to Indiana before he even started school. After a good high school career, Jones played college baseball at Butler University, but, true to the form he’d experience in his entire baseball life, he didn’t finish there.
