Peggy Lee’s daughter visits artist’s former home
It was an emotional trip back in time Wednesday for Nicki Lee Foster, daughter of famous jazz artist Peggy Lee. Foster, 68, traveled nearly 1,100 miles from Twin Falls, Idaho, along with her son David to get her first look at the Midland Continental Railroad Depot Transportation Museum in Wimbledon.

Thoughts on hunting
I have loved hunting since the first days when my father took me along back in the mid-1950s, and I hunted because he hunted, and because both of my grandfathers and most of my uncles hunted. Maybe I have hunted because my ancestors going far back in time in Austria and Germany also hunted.

Trends in rifles
It was somewhat comforting, paging through the 1980 Gun Digest Review of Custom Guns, edited by Ken Warner, with chapters by John T. Amber — the latter largely responsible for the Gun Digest editions that I devoured as a youngster. Warner and Amber are both long gone, but reading about rifles circa 1980 was like going back in time to the days when I was a young man.

When seeds need extra care, consider pre-sprouting
Planting a seed is an act of faith. After all, what could seem more far-fetched than dropping a shriveled, apparently lifeless speck of something into a hole in the ground, then expecting to return and find a green, growing plant brimming with life?

A.P. returning to site of injury
The image, and the pain, is still fresh in Adrian Peterson's mind. He remembers taking the handoff and bursting for three yards before Redskins safety DeJon Gomes collapsed Peterson's left knee on a tackle and he crumpled to the FedEx Field turf. Even before the MRI exam, Peterson had a feeling his ACL, and his season, were gone.
