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.

Northern Kentucky Tribune

The Primary Election in Kentucky will take place tomorrow. Kentucky conducts closed primaries which means only registered Republicans and registered Democrats can vote — and ONLY for the candidates on either the Republican or the Democrat ballot. If you have registered as an Independent, you cannot vote in the partisan primaries, but you may vote in all nonpartisan primaries. These include urban county mayor, urban county councils, school board, soil and water conservation, and all judicial offices. Only the City of Covington commission is on the ballot Tuesday — to reduce the number of candidates on the November ballot.

Primary Election is tomorrow — if you haven’t already voted (early and/or absentee), vote Tuesday

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.

Cheyenne is on the Run… to Your Home

If you've never heard that term before, "zoomies," A.K.A. "frenetic random action periods," is just when cats and dogs get excited and run around for no particular reason. In my house, zoomies are common after litter box visits, an excellent reason for celebration.

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.

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.)

A bill in the Colorado legislature has caught the ire of some officials in Aurora. “The ‘Colorado Road and Community Safety Act’ authorizes the issuance of a driver's license or identification card to an individual who is not lawfully present in the United States,” according to the bill summary. The legislation, sponsored by Sens. Julie Gonzales and Jeff Bridges and Rep. Tim Hernandez removes the requirement that a migrant live in the country two years before getting a license.
