I have always loved listening to Bob Nelson talk; it doesn't matter the topic, it doesn't matter who the audience is. This time it was to local children at the Big Sandy Library. He answered the question why do you fish? Bob said, "Why do people go skiing? Why do people ride motorbikes? Why do people ride horses all over the place? People have all kinds of wonderful interests." Jane brought several shells and talked about how each was alive when they were in the water. To be honest, I loved the...

Hunter was called on stage to play piano and dance as a part of the show. Hunter is an exceptionally talented member of the school band and choir.

Hailed out and emerged volunteer wheat should be sprayed immediately after harvest Information for this article was taken from a Kansas State University Press Release, which was released in 2020. Producers often wait several weeks after harvest before making their first herbicide application to control volunteer wheat,” said Dallas Peterson, K-State Research and Extension weed management specialist. “This allows as much volunteer as possible to emerge before spraying it or tilling it the first time. Often, a second application or tillage operat...
For the fifth consecutive year, I will be riding in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise money to fight children's cancer. In the past 4 years, I have ridden nearly a thousand miles as a part of the challenge, raising $3,227.01 in total.

I am also increasing the number of miles I intend to ride to 300, from my previous goal of 200 for the month. Throughout the month of September, I will...

I recently came across a great line: “Every Olympic event should have an average person competing for reference.” I am not sure who said it originally, but it is brilliant. First off, it’s funny. I can only imagine what it would be like to race against world class athletes as an out of shape, middle-aged man. More importantly, there is an edge of truth to the idea. Comparing the elite to the average makes it clear what is really going on in the race. I may brag that I can outrun my neighbor, but only because I am not talking about racing Jesse...
