To the Reluctant Editor Forrest:

Loved your article in the November 19 Lake County Press. Your thinking is the same as mine. Something is very wrong when the majority votes go to those known to have criminal records, those liars. Why do many think that it was OK to march on the capitol? It doesn’t seem to matter anymore. Why such a following with the idea that the election was stolen? Why such a following with the one that started this?

From the Outside

The last day of the firearms deer season dawned with an air temperature of -1 F at my house. I didn’t go out, not because of the cold, but because the woods have been very quiet this fall in terms of deer activity, the few deer showing up on game cams typically consisting of a doe and her two fawns. There was a big bruiser buck caught on the cameras twice near the end of the season, both times between midnight and 2:00 AM, but the odds of encountering him seemed low enough to discourage motivation.
