Footy is back

The Tulsa Buffaloes play their first game in nearly two years on June 26, when they host the North Texas Devils. Time and place to be determined later.

It’s almost Memorial Day and we haven’t had an 80 degree day this year. 80 degree highs are the norm this time of year. Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer in southeast Kansas and happens to be the day I put the fan in the window. On the Fourth of July, I replace theContinue reading “Cool breezes”

Graduation

Hard to believe, but high school seniors are getting out of school this week. For some, this is their last day of school. Commencement will be this weekend with most school districts choosing Saturday afternoon. Athletes on the track, baseball, and softball teams have regionals next week and state tournaments the week after. Senior athletesContinue reading “Graduation”

Warm bodies wanted, cold ones considered

Walmart is trying to go back to overnight stocking, but locally we can’t get people in the door. At $14.50 to start, the pay is about as good as it gets around here. We can get the groceries, paper, detergent, and pet supplies on the shelves with the people we have. Day shift handles lawnContinue reading “Warm bodies wanted, cold ones considered”

This was one of the more controversial picksContinue reading “Steelers draft local kid”

Cats had a rough weekend.

No, not the four legged ones, the ones in blue and white hoops. Not only did the Cats lose by two points to Sydney, but they lost longtime President Frank Costa. When he and CEO Brian Cook took over at Geelong, the organization was in disarray. When Costa stepped down in 2010, the Cats hadContinue reading “Cats had a rough weekend.”

Birthdays are overrated

Waited up until 3pm for my cakes to arrive, so I didn’t get much sleep last night. Work seemed to drag, but at least I got it done on time. I was going to share my cakes with my coworkers, but a lot of them were scheduled off. Except for the mod squad, most ofContinue reading “Birthdays are overrated”
