  • Would be nice to see the inside of Grandma's pantry again

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Nov 29, 2024

    Anybody else out there fondly remember his grandmother’s pantry? I can close my eyes and still see and smell Grandma Ereth’s pantry. She had stuff in there that I didn’t normally get anywhere else. One unique thing was it was a walk-in pantry. Few people that I knew when I was little had one of those. Food at our house went in the kitchen cabinets. It wasn’t a big pantry. It was only a two-bedroom house that had been my great-grandparent’s home. My mother had grown up in a o...

  • Even with YouTube repair manual, things may not go as planned

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Nov 23, 2024

    I do believe that YouTube is the instruction manual for everything. With a quick search of the social media site a person can find a video on how to repair or build anything you can imagine. From car repairs to the owners manual for your coffee maker or any other device you might have on hand that you’ve forgotten how to operate or program. I usually have those manuals somewhere in a drawer but I can look it up online faster than I can find that manual. I’ve diagnosed and fix...

  • Plenty of picking and choosing games passed down through years

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Nov 16, 2024

    Thought of as an innocent way of deciding who went first or who got the last piece of candy, the game Rock, Paper, Scissors is actually a game with a long history stretching across the world. Surfing the channels once I noticed a show in a Las Vegas bar playing the childhood game in which the players pump their clinched fist in rhythm three times, “throwing a symbol on the third representing either rock, paper or scissors.” For those who never played, rock crushes scissors, pa...

  • 8-track age first time we could take our music with us

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Nov 9, 2024

    Sometimes I wonder whatever became of my 8-track tapes. I’ve wondered, but not enough to go search the closets at my mother’s house to see if they’re still there. Last I saw it, the collection, prized by me through high school but not all that impressive compared to others, was safely nestled inside the padded, genuine simulated leather case. Cruising in our cars, vans and pickups was my generation’s most important social activity, collecting the music of the day was probabl...

  • Print catalogs making a comeback in this digital age

    Karl Terry, Local columnist|Updated Nov 2, 2024

    You frequently hear people reminiscing about the days of the Sears Wishbook and all the wonder it brought to our lives. When I was growing by this time of year half the pages would have a corner turned over and our favorite toys carefully circled. I’m not sure Santa Claus paid any attention to those subtle hints but it was a great trip for the imagination to see yourself on that Stingray bicycle or catching the neighborhood pitchers with that great looking catcher’s mitt. It...
