Interesting Facts: (or in this case, opinion): The “rock sculpture” at the 160/550 Highway intersection is one of the worst wastes of taxpayer money. Not to mention it is across from one of the largest historical mining sites in the area. Could we not have had a reflection of the miners and mining history?

Dear Diver,
The Wi-Fi out where I live is really bad. Sometimes I can’t even watch a show on Netflix without the dreaded buffering bar popping up every five minutes.  Any ideas on how to boost the power without breaking the bank?
– Internet Explorer

Dear Internet Exploder,
Living in the sticks has its advantages, unfortunately for you its affecting the viewing of your shows. Try changing the wireless channel in the router’s configuration. High numbers are best: 9, 10, 11, 12 (12 may not be available in your part of the world). Forget Netflix, you and your sweetheart should get the new Kama Sutra book and experiment. That will boost your power. If that doesn’t work, climb the highest tree in your area for a better connection. I don’t know, I ride motorcycles!

Dear Diver,
What’s with this new obsession with the e-book? Have we really reached such a low point that we can’t even enjoy a good story if it’s not in some form of technology?  Has civilization fallen so far that the modern book is an endangered species?  Do these individuals even know what a library is for?
– Book Boy

Dear Book Boy,
The e-book is also something more. It relates to business, money, health and fitness, entertainment, sports and recreation, home improvements, toys, games, movies, stories, advertising, etc. Haven’t you heard the saying, “SAVE A TREE?” Besides the Library is for day-care if you haven’t been there lately.

Dear Diver,
I am a big camper, but with the wacky weather we’ve had, picking a spot that will work no matter what Mother Nature throws at us has become increasingly difficult.  Know of any campsites that won’t get me snowed in, flooded out, or blown about?
– Boy Scout

Dear Boy Scout,
Oh, so you are a “fair weather” camper. I always welcome the unexpected, am prepared and make the best of the situation. Try your bedroom or make a tent in your back yard. If Mother Nature gets nasty you can run into the house. Tighten your bola tie – aren’t Boy Scouts expected to be prepared?
