Saw several campaign signs that had been blown over this afternoon. And I'm wondering. If the wind dies down before people get home from work in a few hours, will those with uprooted yard signs remember the weather? Or, like in every other situation, will…

Coming in Tuesday's Slice column.
A colleague who does not eat meat recently spent a few days in Kansas City. He decided that it would be crazy to visit that city and not have a plate of barbecue ribs. So that's what he did. And enjoyed his dinner. It was…
Boy, I sure wish I still had recordings of readers calling my phonemail and singing snippets of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and the old Hamm's beer jingle. If I were to invite readers to sing something else, what should it be? www.smithsonianmag.com
A friend was listening to oldies while driving the grandkids to day care. A 1968 song by The Foundations came on. Her radio has a readout that shows what song is playing but it has limited characters. So the tune displayed as "Build Me Up…

How often does a phone ringing in a TV show make you briefly wonder if you are getting a call?
It's always interesting to see how newspaper work is depicted in the movies and on TV. Take a 1962 episode of "Leave it to Beaver" titled "Long-Distance Call," for example. Beaver and two of his friends decide to call baseball pitcher Don Drysdale at Dodger…
Let's say you have a loosely agreed upon college football bet with some friends at work. If your team wins, which seldom happens, they purchase a bottle of some weird ass beer for you and deliver same on Monday. If their team wins, you buy…
The case for taking long walks: So this little boy stopped us on a Browne's Addition sidewalk. He held up a picture book about animals. We examined the volume and pronounced it a valuable reference work. Then we pointed to a photo of a striped…

Julie Jeppesen was in a Spokane Valley ice cream parlor when she heard an anxious mother call to a wandering little girl, "Come over here, we're not in Coeur d'Alene anymore."
www.seriouseats.com Do you know Spokane residents whose use of tartar sauce almost calls for an intervention?
