Millions of people will gather in bars and living rooms Sunday to watch the Seattle Seahawks battle the New England Patriots for NFL supremacy. While many viewers actually have a vested interest in the game, a segment of the population will only care about one thing: eating the party snacks.

Bloomberg reported last week that, according to government data, fewer chickens slaughtered means around 50 million fewer wings are available.

As my wife, Marie, and I were cruising down the superhighway of a picture-perfect retirement, our lives slammed into a brick wall and were turned upside down and inside out.

It was Valentine's Day 2012 a day synonymous with romance, flowers and an intimate dinner. Marie had had a CT scan earlier in the day. She had not been feeling well for about a month. She was bloated and had pain. She had a history of irritable bowel, so her doctor had prescribed several different medications, but nothing worked, so he ordered the CT scan.

Dear Editor,

Last week late at night, my car stopped dead near the top of the mountain, just below The Summit Restaurant.

I had all my lights on, including the red flashing ones. Until two women stopped to help me, cars were racing past me; I was terrified.

One lady stood behind my car, trying to get people to move over and slow down. The other lady started my car, and then drove me to the restaurant up further.
