As Ranger Week gets underway, the usual calamities that accompany the eventful week are sure to bring about one controversy or other throughout the duration.

April is one of my most favorite months of the year. And although it just happens to be the month of my birthday (if you had any confusion on that, please read the horoscopes), I think, had I been born in a different month, it still would be my favorite because it's a month of seasonal transition. It is both cold and rainy (my favorite type of weather) and sunny and spring-like. Supposedly, it is the perfect time to ski and also the perfect time to sit outside to do homework (or write columns).
I have an aunt who believes that all the problems of our modern age can be explained by technology. Specifically, technology has eliminated natural selection among our species.
