Whether it's viewers of the show or readers of my columns and books, I'm consistently impressed with their wit, humor and insight. That goes for about 95 percent of the audience. The other five percent are why the 'Delete' option and restraining orders were invented.

No traveler, whether a tree lover or not, will ever forget his first walk in a sugar-pine forest.

The advertisements in a newspaper are more full knowledge in respect to what is going on in a state or community than the editorial columns are.
