I realize as we grow older we tend to forget or overlook
things, like dates. You know, months, years, day of the week,
etc. So, I guess that was why yesterday's edition was listed
as 9/2/2016 as opposed to 10/2/2016. I don't think Maren has
"fat fingers" like some of us guys.

No, the Richland we knew as youths will never be the same.
Just as the mid-west town featured in Booth Tarkington's
"Penrod" series can never be. We see them all in memory
whether real or imagined. I do remember semi-asphalt streets,
few side walks and how easy it was to get to the Uptown
Theater from the corner of Swift and Sanford. Probably
couldn't to it today if I wanted to.

The last time I was in Richland (Club 40 weekend) the town
seemed dead. Sorta like the town in "High Noon" just before
the train arrived. Yeah, there were people in the Spudnut
Shop, and probably some in Denny's, but I didn't see anyone
when I walked off two glazed and a maple bar. Nor were there
any kids at the swimming pool. Guess everyone was inside
watching something. 'Tis a shame.

      fall weather has finally arrived.
