To any Missourian, remember this is not about you, your voice, or what you care about, whether you’re in Kansas City, Kingsville, or Carthage.
If they’ll ignore you on this, they’ll ignore you when you need a hospital, jobs in your community, or schoolteachers in your town.

It's so hard to fathom what happened Wednesday in Lexington, MO. In December of 2023 this family lost its mother. Then this week, their five year-old was killed and their ten year-old and father critically injured when their home exploded. They will need help for some time. Here's a start:

We've leaned on a lot of comfort food during this extended winter season! What's your go-to on a day like today? Also, where are you all seeing the best prices for groceries? (This was last night's dinner: Pot Roast with carrots & potatoes - and catsup, of course with bread and butter.)

Today would have been Jim Tyrer’s 86th birthday.
This past year, for the first time in 44 years, he was a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame — allowing the world to get a glimpse of who he truly was. A person whose legacy was far greater than the worst moment of his life.
