When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

It's mating season for the Texas brown tarantula also known as the Missouri tarantula

This past week was Week 0 for high school football across the country. There were a number of states who kicked off their high school football seasons, but there were also states that did not, and some that had scrimmages rather than real games. We'll first dive into how Iowa's 2025 commits that played this weekend fared, and then mention who will be kicking off the season next week.

Louisiana State

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

FREMONT COUNTY—It’s been a breakneck six weeks, but this morning, 84-year-old Jack Malmberg can take a breather. Malmberg and his crew — four people and 12 Belgian horses — last night finished mowing, raking and baling hay for about 30 clients on several hundred acres of Fremont County land.

Crews have mostly contained a massive northern Wyoming wildfire that ignited less than a week ago, authorities said Monday. But other fires in the area, including two burning in Campbell County and one in Sheridan County, continue to grow. A fifth major blaze near the Continental Divide, meantime, continues to affect the northwest corner of the state.

As an educator in the Boone County Public School district, I am passionate about public education. I began my career as an English teacher at Boone County High School in 1998, and it quickly became my home. It is where I belong. Over these years I have watched our district grow, and my proudest moments are walking into our school commons each day and seeing the diversity of students and their diversity of interests. I have been fortunate to teach future carpenters, doctors, judges, and plumbers. I have watched my students start their own salons, trucking, car repair, and other small businesses. I have watched thousands of students leave our campus and become successful, thriving adults.

Ten Sleep, WY

TEN SLEEP—It’s the Fourth of July, and thousands of people dressed in red, white and blue wait along the road in the late morning light for the parade to begin. Locals and visitors have staked out curbside spots using blankets and lawn chairs. Volunteers hand out star-spangled balloons to kiddos eager for candy and firetrucks, while the smell of food trucks parked down the street wafts through the air. A bulldog in a cowboy hat and handkerchief slurps water from a silver bowl outside the town’s saloon. The bartender, stepping outside to get a peek at the crowd, says she’s never seen such a great parade-day turnout.

Leaving blue states, political newcomers hope to turn Wyoming a darker shade of red
