Mac’s Korner: Week of February 28, 2018

Here's another riddle: What can fly, but not stand still; devouring all while eating nil; what is wasted, never lent; never earned, but always spent? **** Years ago, a city fellow was driving through Nokomis when his Model A broke down. Luckily, it stopped in front of a house where an elderly man was sitting in a rocking chair on the porch. The driver walked up to the house and asked the man, "Would you happen to have a monkey […]

Mac’s Korner: Week of December 27, 2017

Mac's Korner: Week of December 27, 2017 Take from a man his wealth, and you hinder him. Take from him his purpose, and you slow him down. But take from man his hope, and you stop him.
