Barbara Helt, Grand Forks, letter: Anti-Catholic bias mars Bergeson column 
The Herald never would print such drivel and bias about the Muslim faith or the Protestant faith.
Please check articles for offensive material concerning all people, and treat everyone with dignity and respect — even the Catholics.

FACES AND PLACES: Wit and wisdom
Eric Bergeson, owner of Bergeson Nursery near Fertile, got his start as a speaker 13 years ago after he bought the nursery from his parents. He wanted to market the nursery, so he put the word out that he would give gardening talks.

ERIC BERGESON: Admiring Brett Favre
Good grief, Brett Favre is fun to watch when he’s on your side.
The Vikings are loaded with talent, but in football all the talent in the world can waste away without an on-field leader to pull it together.
Favre was the final piece to the puzzle, or so he has been for the first half of a very fun Vikings’ season.

ERIC BERGESON: Cleanliness has nothing to do with being moral and everything to do with morale
A study by three research psychologists released last week titled, “The Smell of Virtue,” claims to show that cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.

ERIC BERGESON: Smear vs. online Boggle
Come to think of it, there is a big difference between online Boggle and Smear. You play online Boggle alone at home, staring at a screen.
Smear, however, requires that you go to the cafe and develop some basic social skills like knowing when to swear and when to belch.

ERIC BERGESON: Twins fans don't despair
I will remember this season as the summer of Joe Mauer, when Twins’ catcher amazed baseball fans everywhere with his magical bat.
The losses to the Yankees? Already forgotten.
Spring training is just around the corner.

ERIC BERGESON: Nothing beats a face-to-face visit with an actual human being
If reat leaders are to be believed, when something really needs to get settled, nothing beats the efficiency of a face-to-face visit with an actual human being.
We can’t always allow ourselves the luxury of hiding behind a computer screen or we won’t know what to do when it finally comes time to talk.

ERIC BERGESON: Cowboy culture
Today, you can drive across the United States in all directions and stay in the same hotel chain and eat the same food in the same restaurant chain and drive on freeways that all look the same.
The scenery changes as you go, of course, as do the accents of the gas station clerks and the waitresses, but if you’re just passing through it is possible to think that everything else is pretty much the same.
Wrong. Culture changes, too. But a person doesn’t notice that until you stick around a while and get to know the locals.

ERIC BERGESON: Forget Old Faithful
The Mountain West of the United States is an astonishingly varied showcase of nature’s wonders.
From the Grand Canyon to Glacier Park, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Mt. Rushmore and many other national parks, the American West is like a widely dispersed Disneyland.
And the world knows it. Elbow your way into one of the national parks on a weekend, as I did recently in Yellowstone, and you will find traffic worthy of Manhattan.

ERIC BERGESON: The truly mystical days of Santa Fe are long gone
It is no mystery why so many people love Santa Fe, N.M. High altitude cities always have a mystical air, and Santa Fe is more mystical than most.

ERIC BERGESON: Peanut butter is good as any excuse to go to town
My grandfather had a thing for peanut butter. He ate it by the spoonful.
It couldn’t be just any peanut butter. It had to be organic peanut butter with a layer of clear grease on top to prove that it was unpasteurized.
What’s more, Grandpa was of the belief that organic unpasteurized peanut butter could only be purchased one place and one place only: At the grocery store in his old home town of Twin Valley, Minn.

ERIC BERGESON: Taking advantage of traffic jams
Believe me, I understand road rage. I’ll never act on it, but I spend the entire traffic jam plotting revenge against those who think they’re exempt from the rules they should have learned in kindergarten.
Once traffic moves again, my anger usually subsides and I am no longer a danger to society.

ERIC BERGESON: Vivid memories of summer vacation
Sometime during the summer of 1970, Dad and Mom loaded sister and I up in our old car, drove to Fargo, traded for a brand new Ford LTD station wagon and without even going home to show off the new car, headed for the West Coast.
That started a summer family tradition. For the next 10 years, every summer of my childhood, an epic trip was an expected ritual.

ERIC BERGESON: Think twice before turning your life over to technology
My latest vehicle, unlike the primitive previous one, is loaded with technological gadgets that make your life easier.
For instance, if I scream out a song title at the rear-view mirror, the computer will start playing one of the 5,000 songs on my iPod. It never gets the right one, but sometimes it gets pretty close.
Then I can holler who I want to call and the car will shut off the stereo, hook up to the phone in my pocket and dial approximately the person I said.
