Congratulations to our Week 4 Hometown Hero from Robert’s Heating & Cooling: Jim Brinkman! Jim is a retired veteran and currently a school bus driver for the Rock Creek school district. He was nominated by members of the teaching staff. Veterans bring a level of respect to other humans, while I've only worked with Jim [...]
Do you have a go-to sandwich that, no matter where you are, what type of restaurant you're in, you order? Most of us do, actually. Because human beings are, inevitably, creatures of habit. A recent survey done on behalf of French's Mustard shows that two-thirds of us have our favorite sandwich. Here's another fact: 66 [...]
Shockingly, this didn't happen in Florida. A Barron County, Wisconsin, man decided he wanted to go ice fishing over the weekend and backed his ice shack out onto the area lake. One tiny, almost inconsequential problem. The lake wasn't frozen yet. Not even a little. Yes, alcohol was involved. The driver wasn't harmed, though [...]

The United States has narrowly avoided a catastrop... I couldn't finish typing that with a straight face. Earlier this month, Ferrara Candy out of Chicago was hacked with a ransomware attack. This is significant because Ferrara makes Brach's candy corn. The hackers disrupted production, and the company still isn't at 100 percent yet, but Ferrara [...]
Bud Light's war on tastebuds continues, as they have announced the "Ugly Sweater Pack" hard seltzers are returning. This time with EGGNOGG HARD SELTZER. Ugh. That just sounds horrible. Again, they did put out the "Ugly Sweater Pack" last year, but this year, in addition to Eggnog, there are two other new flavors: Sugar Plum [...]
Well, this is the height of creepy. Whereas today, kids are usually adorned in...let's be honest either Spider-Man or Frozen, kids back in the day had to do with homemade Halloween costumes. FloraFilms put together a slide show of "vintage" costumes from the 1800s to the 1950s set to music from Rosemary's Baby. By "vintage" [...]
The injustice! A Wisconsin farmer had a state...nay, a country...nay a UNIVERSAL RECORD pumpkin recently and was disqualified for one tiny, insignificant crack. Mike Schmit told ABC 7 Chicago that he had a pumpkin that weighed in at 2,520 pounds. It, hyperbole aside, was set to become the heaviest gourd in the United States, if [...]
Well, there's an Oct. 15 surprise for you. Miranda Lambert dropped her first new single (Solo Division) in a couple of years with "Like a Cowboy." We also have a single from John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen this morning. Not sure if it's meant for Country or not, but it's damn good, so we're [...]
