    I would never fancy myself to be Larry King or anything, but in college I always enjoyed reading his columns in USA Today.
    For the unfamiliar, King would not write about one particular theme or subject, rather he would give his thoughts about a variety of topics in short, succinct sentences.

    As someone who writes the occasional column, thinking of what to write about can be difficult.

    I was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident in September 2011. I hydroplaned, hit a guardrail and flipped my truck. I had serious injuries, multiple fractures and both of my legs were mangled. Doctors told me I was millimeters from death.

    The entire first week after the accident, the doctors contemplated amputating my right leg. That morning my EMT was Wanda Hammons. Not only did she save my life, but she figured out my right leg was actually rotated 180 degrees and bent back under me depriving it of blood.

    Wade Boggs said after speaking to the crowd during his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, “Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.”
    Last week, I got to have a one-on-one day with my dad by going to see the St. Louis Cardinals play the Cincinnati Reds on what turned out to be a cool day compared to some of the weather we have had here recently.

    Cigarettes were everything to me. I got up in the morning and had a cigarette with my coffee. At night, cigarettes helped me relax before bed. If I was happy, I smoked. If I was upset, I smoked. Cigarettes were always there. They were my best friend.

    We’ve had such a mild winter that several days in January and February I bought lemonade at little kids’ lemonade stands. Already theses little 6 to 10-year-olds have more business experience than the spoiled brat child in the White House.

    Crittenden resident asks where tax money goes
     My husband and I have lived in Crittenden for over 34  years. We live in a 1 1/2 story house that was built in the late 1800’s. I love my house, but, it is by no means a mansion.
    We try to keep our home and yard clean and in good repair. We pay a municipal tax on our insurance bills for our vehicles and our home, I am told, because we live within the city limits.
