"HouseWorks" is one of my favorite columns. Its author, Steve Batie, is one of my favorite columnists. Ostensibly a home and garden maintenance and repair column, "HouseWorks" often contains Steve Batie's musings on a wide variety of subjects. There still are the how-to questions from readers, and step-by-step instructions for projects. Steve Batie's style makes them all seem pertinent to me, even though I don't own a home or garden. I've followed the column for a long time. It's always a nice way to end the work week.
"HouseWorks" appears in both the online and print versions of the Journal Times. In the print edition, it appears in the Friday Food section. Online, it's available here: http://journaltimes.com/homes/
Steve Batie works for the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper out of Lincoln, Nebraska. You can read his latest column here: http://journalstar.com/lifestyles/home-and-garden/houseworks-get-em-while-they-re-young/article_a1143da0-ad9f-5386-9e5d-87c0abe9eb3f.html

Czech "Pastafarian" wins right to wear kitchen utensil as official religious head gear
A man who claims his religion requires him to wear a sieve on his head has been granted permission to use a photo of himself wearing it – on his official ID card.
Lukas Novy, a follower of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, says the plastic kitchenware is a crucial part of his “Pastafarian” faith, and he must wear it at all times to respect his deity; a monster made of spaghetti and meatballs.
Sounds Yummy!

a small plot off to one side of the "grown-up" garden where they can plant and water and weed and nurture their own green-growies.
THAT Garden is also best off the traveled trail and kept away from nosy neighbors and busy-body Police.

Billionaire Child Sex Case Heads To Supreme Court (18 Months After SC Johnson Heir Charged)
The Johnson family was as close to royalty as you could find in the rust belt town of Racine, Wisconsin. The five heirs to the $11.5 billion SC Johnson cleaning product fortune employ about 10% of the population, as well as bestowing their great wealth on reviving an area blighted by the decline of industry.
That all changed 18 months ago, when 57-year-old Curt Johnson was charged with the repeated sexual assault of a child. She was later acknowledged as his stepdaughter, who was 12 when the alleged molestation started in 2007.
The criminal complaint against Johnson veers towards the graphic, but its printable portions describe him as having a “touching problem” and a “sex addiction.” His stepdaughter “finally told her mother about what was happening to her because she wanted to protect her younger sisters.”

OH PLEASE! Not a Pee-Wee Herman moment!
The headlines were as shocking as the coarsest of parodies, and beneath them, the very picture of humiliation, was haggard-looking kiddie-show host Pee-wee Herman, shaggy as an undercover narc, looking as if his world had come to an end. Which, in fact, it seemed to have done. Herman, 39, creator of a performing persona so infantile that it cast doubt on the faculties of the man who inhabited it, had been arrested on July 26 for masturbating in a so-called adult movie theater in Sarasota, Fla., not far from the home of his parents.

Good Night.
I will have to look this one up. Sounds fun.
I remember reading this column. His down to earth and simplistic syle is refreshing.
I look forward to reading his column. I haven't done that since Mike Royko died.
