You must be bear aware at all times in Missouri, but especially now. That's a new truth as the black bear population continues to explode which is why Missouri is warning that these apex predators are on the move and they're hungry. Oh, and there are now nearly 1,000 of them to deal with.

All I can say is stop the madness now. There's really a push to ban most decaffeinated coffee in both Missouri and Illinois and I have so many questions.

I may like to speed now and then. Ok! More than I should probably, but I am just going with the flow of traffic. At least that is what I tell myself, but I have never gone over the speed limit like one motorist did in Missouri.

Crime never sleeps and the perpetrators behind the scams don't either. Here's more proof of that. Did you know that your caller ID can no longer save you from the newest Illinois scam that is being reported statewide.

Yes, the Atlanta Falcons shocked us when they drafted Penix Jr., but they didn't have the worst NFL Draft this year, that title belongs to a team that I don't believe will make the playoffs again for a long time...

There are lots of differences between the Land of Lincoln and the Show-Me State, but it is shocking how different Illinois and Missouri are in this ONE major category, and it's not good for Missouri...

Say what you want about Missouri, but it does not lack remote places with iconic buildings. This might be one of the best examples of that. It's what many say is the most photographed mill in the state of Missouri and it also happens to be powered by a mountain.
