FACTS FOR FAMILIES: Monarch butterflies, milkweed, and mowing

Most people that know me know that I am very passionate about protecting monarch butterflies.  Their numbers have been rapidly declining each year, primarily due to loss of habitat. So recently when I turned onto the country road leading to my house and saw that the ditches that had been full of milkweed were completely mowed down, I thought it would be appropriate to republish this article from 2018. I do my best to encourage people to plant milkweed seeds, […]

QUINN: My favorite meal – pizza

Here’s a great question from a Texas reader: “Why is the pizza round, the box square, and the slices cut into triangles?” This is a complicated question for me. In school, I had so much trouble with geometry they put me in a simpler class called “Meet Mr. Number Guy.” So, I asked several people about this, and here’s what they told me. (What they didn’t tell me, I made up.) First is the square box. These are easier and […]

QUINN: Candy – A sweet history

My friend Debi asks, “Why do they call the little candy ‘fun sizes?’ Wouldn’t it be more fun to eat a big one?” Wow, Debi, what a flavorful question. Let me chew on that a little with my sweet tooth. Candy has been around throughout recorded history. Actually, ancient civilizations prized it even before they made recordings. The earliest sweets were likely those made of candied nuts and fruits in honey. Centuries ago, explorers discovered the cocoa bean and cacao […]

Cultural treats in small-town Andalucía

The American image of Spain is Andalucía: the home of bullfights, flamenco, gazpacho, and pristine whitewashed hill towns. This southern part of the country feels more quintessentially Spanish than perhaps anywhere else. When visiting this area, I always make a point to venture into what’s called the Route of the White Hill Towns (Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos), a charm bracelet of cute villages perched in the sierras. Arcos de la Frontera makes a good starting point. Arcos is a […]

KNAPP: Third party?

America doesn't even have a second party

A June 29 Associated Press/NORC finds that 85% of Americans — including 92% of self-identified Republicans and 78% of self-identified Democrats — say “things in this country are headed in the wrong direction.” Meanwhile, national support for a “third” political party remains high — 62% as of last year’s Gallup Survey — yet no actually existing party outside the Democratic and Republican establishments seems able to get much traction. Third party labor in politics The Libertarian, Green, Constitution, and numerous […]

QUINN: A celebration of phones

If you’re like me, your life can be divided into two time periods…BCP (Before Cell Phones) and ARD (After Rotary Dials). Yeah, back in those ancient times a phone was stationary. It sat on a desk or hung on a wall, and you appeared before it when you wished to talk. During my teen years, I remember a kitchen phone with a 40-foot extension. After dialing, I could walk anywhere its coiled cord would reach. For semi-private calls, I’d go […]

QUINN: Attention spans

Do people today really have shorter attention spans? Well, it appears that because multiple messages bombard us daily, we mentally “delete” those we don’t currently need. (This explains why some folks forget what they had for breakfast, or why I call so many of my friends “Pal.”) Latest reports – compiled by scientists who pay attention – set the average adult attention span at only eight minutes. It’s reportedly even shorter if you’re a dog, and shorter still if you’re […]

Güzelyurt: Turkey’s ‘Beautiful Land’

Güzelyurt, in the region of Cappadocia in rural Turkey, is a town that has changed little over the centuries. Exploring it, I hike steeply down into a ravine, winding through a community in the rough — where the chores of daily life seemed stuck in the Middle Ages. Then, climbing up to a hilltop perch marking the end of town, I survey the view and marvel how the honey that holds this architectural baklava together is the community of people […]

Copenhagen’s Christiania: No cars, corporations, or dead fish

Strolling through Copenhagen, I come upon a parade: ragtag soldiers-against-conformity dressed in black making their way through the bustling, modern downtown. They walk solemnly behind a WWII vintage truck blasting Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in The Wall." I've never really listened to the words until now. These "soldiers" are fighting a rising tide of conformity. They want to raise their children to be free spirits, not cogs. Painted onto their banner — an old sheet — is a slogan you […]
