Kentucky Woman Spots an Enormous Tree Burl in Mammoth Cave National Park
Facebook can be used for good and Facebook can be used for evil. I choose to use it for good - like 'OOOing' and 'AHHHing' over people's pics, spreading some positivity. Take this one group I'm into, Between the Ears. It's all about seeing the world from our furry friends' perspective. Just the other day, there was this post from Robin Hop, showing her girls Lila and Lita standing up on their horses near Mammoth Cave. Pretty cool, right?

Go Behind the Scenes With Owensboro Police Department’s Citizen Academy
Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a police officer with the Owensboro Police Department? Now is your chance to get a behind the scenes look. A couple of years ago, I participated in a ride-along with an Owensboro Police Officer. It started off really eventful with a car stuck on the train tracks, but was mostly us driving around listening to WBKR and me asking questions in between stops. The stops consisted of the officer helping resolve issues among some juveniles, helping an unhoused couple figure out where to spend the night, and assisting a bilingual driver find his way.

3 of the Best Fishing Spots in Northern Illinois
It doesn't matter if you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, many residents say these three locations offer some of the best fishing Northern Illinois has to offer. I'll be the first to admit that I am not much of a fisherwoman although I have gone fishing more times than I can count. I don't like using living things to bait a hook, and taking a fish off the line makes me a nervous wreck, but what I dislike the most about fishing is the waiting game.

Is it Legal to Carry a Handgun While Visiting Indiana State Parks?
Are you prohibited from packing heat at Indiana state parks, even with a carry permit? Let's take a look. Before diving into the specifics about carrying in state parks, let's take a look at some of the basics.

Was the Snakmaster the Best Kitchen Invention of All Time?
While I'd love to argue that the '80s and '90s were the golden age of TV sitcoms, it would be a disservice not to acknowledge that it was also the era when "As Seen on TV" infomercials truly revolutionized every aspect of our lives in every room of the house. Fixing things in the garage! Cleaning the bathroom! And perhaps most of all—mastering every task in the kitchen.

Trash or Treasure: Is This the Best Antique Mall in Indiana?
Indiana is chock-full of places to enjoy antiquing or shopping for vintage goodies, but according to some, one location serves as a prime hunting ground. As a longtime Star Wars fan, I'm always looking for new places to browse for vintage collectibles. Most recently, I recently secured an original Kenner "snow speeder" from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, that was in pretty rough shape. I had to repair a few broken pieces, replace the stickers, and even order a couple of new parts. But with a little elbow grease, I soon had it restored to it's original, or at least, near original condition. It was a fun project.
