Believe It Or Not, Illinois Is One Of The Safest States At Night
I would've never considered Illinois a safe place at night but apparently, I need to re-evaluate that decision because a new study ranks our state high for being safe after dark. Illinois Is One Of The Safest States For A Night Out. You can divide Illinois into two regions. One...
Viral Travel Hack Could Actually Get You Banned From Your Next Flight
Let's face it, airline travel is awful most of the time. Unless you're doling out the big bucks for first class, you've probably been tempted to seek out some travel hacks on social media. There's just one problem with that. You, of course, can't trust everyone online. Airport Pillow Hack...
How to Deal With Those Pesky Kentucky Chiggers…In Fact, I’m Scratching Now
I never know what it's going to be from one summer to the next. Will we be overrun by wolf spiders? Will mosquitoes flock to my arms like they used to do in those disturbing insect repellant commercials from the 70s?. Or will CHIGGERS fall in love with me? Yes,...
See Info: Princeton Gun Show Returns for Big Two-Day Event
Central Indiana Gun Shows is bringing several vendors to the Gibson County Fairgrounds for another fun event. You can find some really cool items at local gun shows. One of my favorite recent finds was a box of wrapped M1 Garand en bloc clips manufactured in the 1940s as part of the ongoing war effort. (Those are getting harder and harder to find.) I purchased a few that day, and they currently sit on a shelf next to my Springfield Armory 1945 M1 Garand. I'm not a materialistic person by any means, but that rifle is definitely one of my favorite possessions.
Did You Know Sometimes AC Uses More Gas and Sometimes Windows Down Does?
Welcome to summer where July and August are the hottest times of the year with September being humidity-filled as well. However June can surprise us with heat waves, too. Driving with the windows down on a beautiful day is heaven however when it's just too hot it's complete misery and it's air condition time.
Illinois Cicadas Dying Off: Here’s How Long The Stench Will Last
Even though this year's Great Cicada Emergence has been somewhat uneven (some places, like the Chicago suburbs, got even more cicadas than were expected, while other places, like Chicago itself and the Northwest suburbs, have gotten almost no cicadas at all), it seems like it's safe to say that we're beyond the halfway point here in mid-June.
Yes, There Are Armadillos in KY But I Think They’re All Dead
Throughout my youth, I saw a TON of armadillos...but they were on the side of the interstate highway as we drove west to visit family in New Mexico. It was natural for me to think that if I was an armadillo, I would keep my butt OUT of Texas. The Lone Star State's version of the possum, indeed.
The Decline of Pay Phones in Every State
There were over 2.1 million pay phones in the U.S. at their peak in 1999, but now the technology is mostly relegated to nostalgia. Few wall-mounted pay phones linger in strip malls, and the silver and blue phone booths are mostly gone from the busy streets they once dotted in many parts of the U.S. Pay phones have become so rare that the FCC stopped requiring audits of them in 2018.

Indiana Native Talks Future in NASCAR After Team Shutdown
Stewart-Haas Racing is calling it quits at the end of the season, leaving six drivers and several crew members as free agents. I've watched NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) on and off for a number of years, but I found myself hooked on the motor sport this season. (Perhaps this is the next stage of male progression?) Growing up, I was a Kevin Harvick fan, but upon his retirement in 2023, I decided to find a new driver to cheer on. Earlier this year, I became a Chase Briscoe fan, not only because of his Indiana ties but also because of his talent, humility, and positive attitude.

Adorable Photos of Indiana Opossum and Her Babies Proves Motherhood is Universal
Opossums are truly incredible creatures, and these photos show the sacrifices mothers can sometimes transcend species. It's always perplexed me that opossum and possum both refer to the same animal, but why is that? It seems the overwhelming consensus online is that opossums are a species native to North America, whereas possums are the species native to Australia. However, according to Merriam-Webster, both spellings can be used interchangeably.

Did someone say Flea Market? Gigantic? Free admission? Sign me up! A popular weekend sale returns to Kentucky at the end of August bigger and better than ever. They tout being a Louisville tradition for over 50 years and it's true. I used to go when I was in college at UofL and it's definitely worth the trip. One year, my friends and I went and took snacks with us because we knew we'd be there all day.
