Squeaky clean free wash

Opinion

GUEST COLUMN, Greg Doering, Kansas Farm Bureau

 

The other weekend I watched two deer wander out of a creek bed and meander through a meadow until they caught a scent they didn’t like and took off running. After a few strides, it was difficult to pick out their tan hides against the khaki grasses as they ran toward the tree line in the distance.

I was walking in a local park at the time so I could safely admire the quick, graceful escape. There’s been plenty of times where I wasn’t so happy to see a herd of deer galloping, mainly along the side of the road when I’m driving.

Maybe there is a sliver of hope for the future after the hate-filled rhetoric from both sides for the past few years.

Since that time, the United States has slowly slipped into the abyss of international academia, falling from one of the best systems in the world to mediocrity.

The U.S. ranks 39th among industrialized nations in math and 25th in science, both categories that the U.S. led prior to the federalization of education.

Everyone knows that exercise is healthy, and that playing sports is one of the best -- and most enjoyable -- ways to maintain optimal weight, boost mental wellbeing, and improve strength, balance, and flexibility.

But what is the "healthiest" sport? Does it really matter which activity folks pick, so long as they're exercising?
