When things get ugly, the world can be divided into two types of people: the mentally prepared (who can rely on their mindset and their ability to make decisions under duress) and those who depend on Lady Luck, or her equally fickle stepsister, Lotsa Hope. Your survival in any life-threatening altercation depends squarely on your mindset and the decisions you make when engaging a physical threat. Starting with situational awareness, if you don’t have the right mindset and are mentally unprepared to do what it takes to solve the problem, then you’re already behind the eight ball and have relegated your fate to luck and hope. |

Invoking the same colorful imagery he used in his 2010 re-election bid, West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin released a new ad Monday literally taking aim with a shotgun at the most recent lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act, which would dismantle protections for individuals with pre-existing conditions. "I haven’t changed," Manchin asserts in the ad. "I might be a few years older and I’ll still take on anyone that messes with West Virginia. Now the threat is Patrick Morrisey’s lawsuit to take away health care from people with pre-existing conditions. He is just dead wrong and that ain’t going to happen." |

Maybe you missed it but the hunting season officially started back on Aug. 15 when squirrel season began. I no longer get excited about the beginning of squirrel season. I have begun to think of those little critters as just a big old rat with a bushy tail that chews up everything in my yard. They have become a year-round nuisance at my home. |

It should be a decent year for deer hunting in Michigan, according to a 2018 forecast by Outdoor Life magazine. The state's deer herd appears to continue to recover from harsh winters in 2013-15 that knocked down the numbers, especially in the Upper Peninsula. An estimated 376,000 deer were harvested in 2017, which was up 10 percent compared to 2016, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' 2017 Deer Harvest Survey Report. |
