We have the makings of a widespread severe weather outbreak in much of the Midwest. Risk covers areas from Northeast Oklahoma northeastward to the Great Lakes. This includes big cities like Saint Louis Mo, Chicago Illinois, and Milwaukee Wisconsin. What is particularly serious regarding this severe weather set up is a strong storm system coming out of the Plains and heading into Minnesota.

Everytime I see a house that is interesting or unique, I usually say I love this house. It doesn't need to be a mansion, but it does need to be historic. There's something unique about the style of this house I like.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

The small herd of bison that roams the sage hills of Hot Springs State Park near Thermopolis may not garner the same attention as its brethren near Jackson, but it has a solid contingent of local fans.

Our Pet of the Week Cheyenne is a high-octane dog with a get-up-and-go attitude. Cheyenne’s right-flopping ears give her such personality! They make her look like she’s perennially interested in something to that side. Either that, or there’s always a strong wind blowing in from her left folding them over and complimenting her smile.

With all the crazy news we hear these days, it is understandable that people might feel helpless to make a difference. It's true that you might not be able to cure the ills of the world, but you can, quite easily in fact, make a huge, positive difference in the life of a cat. Best of all--you reap the rewards too.

For the second year in a row, Denver has ranked high on a listing of cities with bed bug infestations.

At the highest point in Marietta National Cemetery flies an American flag and the POW/MIA flag commemorating those who never returned home from their service to our country. And in the shadow of the flags, you'll find a standard white headstone with the name of Marine Corporal Lee Hugh Phillips, recipient of our nation's highest military honor and one of the men who never returned home from war.

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone. It's hard to tell if it's true or false without personal experience, or at least whether someone in a family's long history line was treated with one of these stones.

Ten-year-old George arrived at FAAS in February, terribly scared and with his coat in horrendous condition. The neglect he’d been through broke our staff’s hearts. Luckily he was almost immediately swept up by a very kind regular FAAS foster, Jamie Minas, and has been getting back on his feet ever since. (Those feet are very little, as you can see from the photo of his visit to the Thrifty Kitty, where he got his paws measured on the foot-sizing device.)

The Milwaukee Bucks were bit by the injury bug late in the season and bounced from the playoffs. While people were quick to try and shift blame to Doc Rivers, the aging roster, and the failed trades, the fact of the matter is both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard didn’t play much in the series, if at all. It is hard for any team to win games when their two best players are out. However, the Bucks do have offseason questions, and Rivers is looking to build his staff. Reports indicate he is targeting Sam Cassell.

JACKSON HOLE—A scrunched, humbled look broke out on Tim Mangold’s face as he gripped the little, lone antler he carried out of the western Wyoming mountains on Wednesday. The 59-year-old affable Darby, Montana man — a hunting outfitter, woodworker and father of seven — had had quite the day.

I was recently reminded of a wonderful analogy used by Friedrich von Hayek upon accepting his Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, on Dec. 11, 1974. By way of addressing the limits all men face in improving the social order, he contrasted the work of a carpenter with that of a gardener. A carpenter “shapes his handiwork,” whereas a gardener, “cultivate(s) a growth by providing the appropriate environment.”
