When fashion and common sense don't fit

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2026/01/12

I remember when I was a little girl, my mama told me about my daddy coming home from work with nails stuck in his pants. He’d ripped them at work, but rather than miss a day, he grabbed a handful of nails and “stitched” the tear shut. Problem solved. She said he’d sometimes come home with a rope for a belt or his tool apron hitched up like a fashion statement, just trying to keep his britches where they belonged. Daddy was a workaholic. If something broke, he fixed it. If something rippe...

Trump's anti-war paradox

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2026/01/12

A resolution to make no resolutions

2026/01/12

There’s a specific time of year when I don’t need a calendar to know what day it is. All I have to do is pull into the YMCA parking lot and take a look around. Almost every space is filled. Just a week earlier, I could have parked anywhere I wanted, diagonal, sideways, maybe even backing in a space if I was feeling frisky. Now I’m circling like a buzzard over roadkill, hoping someone finishes their workout before I finish my patience. Once inside, the evidence becomes overwhelming. The l...
