Awhile back he ended up having to go to court over an enviro-induced question of law. You know — one of those deals where they decided he should move his cattle because a cute little animal that had been getting along with the cattle real fine for 65 years might be endangered by those very same cattle. So Shorty got in his old pickup and trekked to town — actually a city complete with concrete,...

In an interview that lasted almost six minutes, former KSEL radio personality Steve Richie and then Program Director Cheryl Ray describe to CBS the complete silence that befell the crowd when Yukon Jack was announced to the stage, and Garth Brooks appeared...
The days may still be hot, but have you noticed the nights are beginning to cool down? I love to feel the crisp early mornings. My yard seems to say, “Come look at me.

Football dominates TV, and it’s time for popcorn and apple cider. I love it, don’t you? I like to call it “Sweet September” and “Ostentatious October.” Sunrise and sun...
