I used to love to read books. I'd be smarter now if I hadn't stopped, but that's another issue for a different day. If you have books that you no longer want or need, there are 5 places in Missouri that you can donate them that will truly help others.

Nearly three years ago, a Missouri man was reported missing. Law enforcement authorities have learned that he was murdered and now U.S. Marshals have apprehended a Missouri man who's a suspect as he was on the run in Louisiana.

I understand what it's like to be middle of the pack. Not the greatest. Not the worst. Just kind of 'meh'. That's the situation for 41 Illinois hospitals that are neither the best or scary. They were just downgraded to a mediocre 'C' rating for patient safety.

It's one of the longest and most vital roadways in Wisconsin, but over the years it's gained a reputation not just as one of the most deadly roads in the state but also one of the most deadly in all of America.

Both Missouri and Illinois have been treated to back-to-back days of Northern Lights visible over both states and there's a chance that could happen again Sunday night based on the current aurora forecast.

38 Wisconsin hospitals who received the lowest ratings for patient safety for Spring 2024

If you thought Friday night was spectacular with the Northern Lights being visible over all of Missouri Friday night, there's a chance the Show Me State will get an encore Saturday night, too.

One of Wisconsin's most beautiful places is also one of the most rattlesnake-infested.

I've been fortunate to have nothing but positive experiences at the hospitals I've received care from. Not everyone is so fortunate. The most fundamental thing a hospital should do for you is to keep you safe. In Wisconsin, only 9 hospitals were given a perfect A grade for patient safety.

Do you ever hear someone state a fact yet feel like what you've just heard is unbelievable? That's a perfect description of my reaction when I saw that there is a tiny Wisconsin town that is more dangerous than Milwaukee. It just doesn't sound possible, but there's data to back it up.
