Michael’s Musings
The Journal-Press has recently received a few letters to the editor regarding political signs being stolen from yards. I’ve noticed that certain signs in my neighborhood were there one day and gone the next. I assume that they were stolen. I doubt that the people who placed them in their front...
One of the great joys in my life is stepping foot into an old downtown storefront that’s been renovated into an independent or used bookstore, walking amongst the classics, along with discovering what’s new and trending in the world of literature. One of the great disappointments in my life is...
Spooky season is officially upon us. A fantastic time of year for celebrating all things weird, odd, and a little bit frightening.
Spooky Season can accompany many things, Halloween decorations, elaborate costume ideas, treats, and my personal favorites, scary movies and books. For whatever...
I was amazed to learn about the support from the community regarding the Street Party of Hope that was held in downtown Buffalo on Sept. 12. An estimated 2500 people attended the event with an estimated $18,000 raised that will go towards helping to cover counseling costs for people in need....

I’ve seen a lot of vehicles this summer, from antique models parked at the Buffalo American Legion during the Antique Car run from New London to New Brighton, to the classic muscle cars gathered at the Gear-Head Get Together and Cruise and Brews show, and recent electric models at the Minnesota...
Labor Day weekend is on the horizon. For many, it’s the last weekend before the kickoff of several new experiences. For the vast majority of my life, Labor Day has held a stronger significance than New Year’s Day. Both offer a period for reflection, but much of it has to do with the school...
The great Minnesota get-together opens today. The State Fair, for the most part, is a lot of fun and an enjoyable experience. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t come with a few obstacles and headaches along the way. I’ve attended several fairs over the years. I don’t claim to be an expert on...
Several headlines emerged from the recently completed Olympic summer games. One that stood out in particular was the controversy and debate regarding Women’s Boxing. After a match between a woman from Algeria and a woman from Italy, a story surfaced where the International Boxing Association had...
