Lost in the bowels of Generica
In the last few years, I’ve experienced a strange deja vu/vertigo-like phenomenon that was just too weird to mention, so I didn’t. But now that I’ve mentioned it to a few people, I’ve found others have run into the same thing.March 12, 2010
‘You won’t beat me, devil fruit,’ I wheezed 
Sometimes life is going along smoothly and then bam — out of nowhere, a piece of fruit tries to murder you.

‘Holy Grail’ the funniest movie ever
There are those who would argue “Caddyshack” is the funniest movie ever, and they can write their own letters to the editor to make that point, or tout another selection. If you ask me, the funniest movie ever made was “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

Online learning a change, but rewarding
Earlier this year, I made the ill-timed decision to go back to college. Had I known it would be such a challenging year at the newspaper, I probably would have chosen a better time to do it, but I soon learned it’s the kind of thing you have to just jump into. And now I’m glad I did.

A crushing blow, then several unexpected Thanksgiving treats
It was Thanksgiving week 1996, a Wednesday afternoon around 2:30 to be exact. I was the 24-year-old manager of the brand new radio station in Perham, and I was ready for a nice, long holiday weekend after signing on the station for the first time just three months before. It had been a whirlwind. I was tired, and had a cold.By Steve Schulz , November 27, 2009

You: reporter about your own world
A faithful reader asked me the other day whether the Pioneer Journal will ever look at “citizen journalists” to help us deliver the news. The question was well-timed.By Steve Schulz , August 12, 2009
What happened to MTV, CNN and ESPN?
I’m so old that I can remember when they played music videos on MTV, talked about news on CNN and recapped sports on ESPN.By Steve Schulz , July 22, 2009
An ode to the Click and the Clack
Several years ago, when I was on a road trip with a friend and radio colleague, he turned on a public radio program that he said was about car repair, and I gave him a look like, “our cars together aren’t worth the price of a new muffler, and we couldn’t change a fan belt any more than we could perform a kidney transplant.”By Steve Schulz , July 15, 2009
Going green: fun hobby or weird disorder?
My own effort to “go green” slid a little farther from “healthy hobby” to “unhealthy obsession” this week when I purchased a solar power panel that powers up the battery on my iPhone.June 24, 2009
Trading in cars a formerly foreign concept to a junk car collector
