Good-byes...
Posted Thursday, July 15, at 10:43 AM It is always difficult to say good-bye to people or places. I have known of the difficulty in saying good-bye to people for some time, but just recently discovered the issues with saying good-bye to places. On a June afternoon, a fire was spotted coming from Ramey's Supermarket in Senath, Mo. After traveling down the street to see the fire, I assumed that the building would have minimal damages. Little did I know, after an hour had passed, the whole building would be rolling in flames and smoke...
I recently realized that a lot of the shows that I watch have a going trend. Each of them have a guy and girl flirting back and forth and teasing a relationship. The intent of the this concept is to keep the viewer watching to see if a relationship is going to continue to form in the next episode...
Hunters face many adversities when being avid duck hunters. Some of these adversities have been around since the beginning of duck hunting, while others have appeared in recent years. During my 2009-2010 duck hunting season, I have witnessed many of these old and new challenges. In order to explain the work that duck hunting requires from an individual, I have decided to list some of the trials...
Playing Hoops with Eeyore A few weeks ago, I contacted Kim Cannon to get information on the Relay for Life Donkey Basketball game. I received the information for the article and an invitation to participate in the game. Kim also asked if I knew of anyone else that would be interested in playing. I immediately asked my colleague at the Democrat, George Anderson to play the game...
I have enjoyed dove hunting since I was old enough to tag along with my dad. Naturally, I thought that I had participated in all types of dove hunting, assuming that everyone hunted in the same manner. This year I was invited to hunt with Kennett Fire Marshall Scott Tutor. ...
Realizing Arrest I am aware that my colleague, George Anderson, has written a blog about our recent adventure with the Kennett Police Department's Strategic Response Team (SRT), but two perspectives on the issue can't be a bad thing. As George noted, the two of us recently attended a training for the SRT, during which we portrayed the "bad guys" that the team was after...
The Randy Houser concert was a very good show from the opening band, The Inman Brothers, to the last song played by Houser. Going in to the concert, I wasn't sure how well I would like all of the songs that Houser played. I only knew three songs before the show, which were "Boots On," "Anything Goes," and "My Kind of Country." Out of the three I knew my favorite was "My Kind of Country," which he played early in the set. ...
If I were Rich Over the course of my life I have heard people from all areas say the same phrase. "If I were rich, I wouldn't do anything." I have heard this phrase from various people including friends, family, TV personalities, and strangers. The fact of the phrase is that if anyone were rich it is not that they would do nothing, it is that they would do what they like to do...
On a day to day basis, I am questioned on my age, because to some I look very young. Recently I was asked if was still in school. I asked, "Do you mean college? The individual responded, "You've already been to college?" It doesn't bother me that I look younger than others, sometimes it can be annoying, but I keep one thing in mind. That is when people my age are 40 and 50-years-old and beginning to show it, maybe I will still look 25...
Speaking the Truth; China Mexican citizens quarantined in China! Really? So in 2009, we are still unable to treat each other with respect in the world. I thought China was supposed to be a smart country. If they were they would realize that Mexicans are not necessarily more inclined to have H1N1 (Swine Flu). Just because this outbreak of the illness has supposedly originated from Mexico does not mean that anyone with Mexican heritage is a risk to the rest of the population...
In Conclusions Jumping to conclusions can be a very easy way to put your foot in your mouth. In most cases things assumed aren't always what they seem. Circumstances can differ and reasoning should be considered before judging. All people deserve the benefit of the doubt, and who are we to judge one another...
Hats off to Community Leaders As much as people want to think that Dunklin County officials are unequipped and unable to handle situations, I believe that the officials went above and beyond in their effort to handle the disaster that recently occurred. Each city had their own official or officials that shot under par when playing the ice storm events...
The benefit of the Ice Storm When stepping away, and looking from the outside, the recent, severe ice storm has a good side to all the bad that has been endured. For instance, the way that all of the surrounding communities have pulled together throughout the situation has been astounding. Everyone has been working together and helping one another for the better of the entire community. Most have set aside selfish ways and differences to aid the people in need and be thankful for what they have...
Moving Day Moving residence is not a task that most people enjoy. The task is tiresome and lengthy depending on the amount of personal items a person has obtained. It seems like no matter how much you have when you move, the next move will involve twice the previous amount. Everything has to be packed away properly so that no damage will occur and so many items have to be handled with care...
History of Beards Men's facial hair or beards have been a major part of the history of the world. Beginning with the Ancient Egyptians who wore a Postiche, which was a metal false beard. The item was worn as a sign of sovereignty by Kings and Queens. The Mesopotamian civilizations devoted a great deal of care to beards by oiling and even using curling irons to create the right image. ...

Why can't everyone just get along There is so much pent up aggression in the world today. Strangers are more likely to share rude comments than friendly, everyone is a critic, and it seems everyone wants to be negative. Constructive criticism is always a good thing because it helps people to build and move forward in their work. ...
A long time friend of mine called me and asked me about my younger days. (Elementary school or earlier) He proceeded to tell me about one of his memories of Kindergarten, that had just come back to him. He remembered his mother trying to teach him to tie his shoes as a young boy. ...
Over the last two or three weeks I have covered many of the political stories here in our area. Many of our Missouri state politicians have been in our area speaking on the election and endorsing candidates. As I have been meeting the different politicians such as Senator Claire McCaskill, former senator Jean Carnahan, and Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, I have reflected over the different celebrities I have met over the years...
