Kentucky is now the first state in the nation to capture oblique (side/angle view) photography of its entire geography from the sky. The KYFromAbove Program and its contractor, NV5 , achieved this milestone after pilots flew 2,600 flight lines over Kentucky’s beautiful landscape, travelling 117,000 miles and capturing 40,660 square miles of the commonwealth’s land, including our cities, towns, farms, lakes, mountains and more.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

Rat infestations in Missouri: it can be a growing concern

Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on blood typically at night. They get that blood from humans or animals. You might not see any during the day because of their being nocturnal. They can hide well like in a small crack or inside the seam of a mattress. An adult bed bug can range from 3/16 to 1/4 inch long. It's pretty repulsive.

There are laws particular to bed bugs in 23 states: Missouri law addresses inhabitable conditions

Georgia State

The Current GA

Georgia voters kicked out incumbents, picked replacements for departing legislators and set the stage for June runoffs as well as the big show in November.

Migrant homeless encampment dwellers who have been swept from location to location by city crews finally won a reprieve Wednesday. On Wednesday, the city offered the encampment dwellers seven days of shelter instead of three, which was the original offer turned down by the campers. “It would hardly be a worthwhile respite before they would find themselves back on the streets with no support, scattered,” Housekeys Action Network Denver, or HAND, posted on Instagram.

Platkin took a leading role in a coalition of 19 jurisdictions to support Massachusetts in a case that could influence national gun control measures.

Clutter started getting sick a lot around age 18 after graduating high school, Stone said. At the time, she thought of it as a recurring cold, but in retrospect, it was more likely withdrawal from opioids.
