    By John Luthens Outside, the wilds of the day had an alluring draw. It was the threshold of summer and autumn, the September air still alive with the hum of bees and grasshoppers, but a crisp breeze swaying the leaves and showing a hint of changing color around their edges. Inside, I sifted through the wilds of my house. By wilds, I mean a pile o...

    By John Luthens It was a sleepy September morning in the quiet streets of Cumberland, Wisconsin. The sun had yet to crest the horizon over the farm fields and maple-lined valleys in Barron County, and the only beacon of activity came from the bean-canning plant on the outskirts of town, pouring a steady flow of Wisconsin’s finest harvest fro...
