Untamed Porkers
I saw a crazy TV show the other night on my dish network Cleveland. I believe it was on TLC and it was a crazy show about wild pigs! Then, today, I read this crazy article about how wild hogs are having a HUGE impact on Texas agriculture. No seriously, Pulaski County is seeing a rise in the number of feral pigs in the last few months, and these piggies are wreaking havoc. They are eating crops and eating up all of the food for other outdoor critters like deer, squirrels, and turkeys. I know I haven’t seen any of these guys running around, but word is that they run rampant at nights because it is cooler. The hogs cannot be hunted at night though, only during...
Read MoreChristmas Giving
It is better to give than to receive is something that you have likely heard all your life. This is true no matter the time of year, but it seems like the spirit of giving is far easier to find around the holiday season.

Read MoreCar Accidents and Kentucky Law
If you have a car accident in Kentucky, you’d better know a thing or two about the law. Even a minor fender bender can turn out badly if you don’t know what steps to follow to insure a smooth outcome. For example, many people do not realize that it’s best not to even speak with the other party involved in the accident until after the police have arrived — and no matter how big or small the accident may seem to be, the police should always be called, even if you don’t call your home security team. Once he is there, the most important thing is that you recount only the exact details of the accident, just as they occurred,...

Read MoreTime Travel, But Better
If you could travel back in time, would you do it? I do not really contemplate about time travel all that often, but sometimes I do think about the past. I don’t think just about my past, but about the history and past of the United States, Kentucky, and even Somerset. I know maybe this sounds silly and a bit emotional, but it’s just me. I love my hometown, and that’s why when I figured out a way that I could go back in time, I felt like you all would appreciate it too! I was born in 1983, obviously in Somerset. I was browsing the old internet and I came across some pretty awesome video footage of Somerset, Kentucky from when I was just three...
