Barking Up the Wrong Tree

Dr. Dan Hayden • Echoing across the wooded valley, the excited howls of coon dogs announced the presence of a raccoon hiding in a tree. Flashlights pierced the darkness as our hunting party made its way to the scene. A city boy knows nothing about coon hunting, so my...

WHATEVER!

Dr. Dan Hayden • “I don’t care—whatever! Do what you want.” As a term of disdain, whatever is a popular response. We tend to use it when frustrated in the tension of an argument—“Whatever!” It basically says “I’m done. The argument is over.” The current climate of...
