I'm sitting here with my fingers crossed this morning hoping that at least half of the rain they are predicting comes to fruition. I water my flowers with rain water I save during the summer and I'm out, so no rain no flowers. Even more important no rain, no grass, no crop...

One of my "issues" in life is the fact that I don't like to wait in lines. If I get to a restaurant and there's a line or even a wait, I'm eating dinner somewhere else. But I can't always control whether I have to stand in a line. One of those times is when I fly...

Combined with the new interstate exchanges now, you'd think it would be good to draw the customers in, instead of having to go to the Shiloh or King Avenue exchange on the opposite end of town. We'll see.

Not all of us really know why we have the name we do. Some have been named after others in their family, for others, the name just flowed well. The one thing we found out this morning is that a lot of names now are fairly obsolete and they'll never be used again...

For Weird Wednesday we asked listeners to call in names that they just don't hear anymore. And we got a huge response including a man named Marion (like Charlie Russell's middle name). And a couple of men whose first names were Shirley. There was a Martile, along Forrest...

Looking ahead to Thanksgiving again this year. But not in a good way. Growing up we had a big meal at my Grandma Janes's house out in the countryside. And she was huge into gardening. So all of the vegetables came from her garden. And she always had some of her corn on the cobb for me, because she knew how much I loved it...

As much as I hate to admit it, I am in puppy mode.

Keith Humphreys, addiction researcher and professor at Stanford University, said if there is no formal or informal pressure on people to seek treatment and STOP using drugs, then expect high rates of addictions, drug use, and even deaths.

Today's topic is "going the distance". I saw on Q2's website a story about a guy who was planning on a 400-mile paddleboarding trip that would take him from Gardiner to Terry. Very ambitious. And last week there was a soldier that walked 22 miles in full gear...

We received one of the most powerful emails this week from a listener who forwarded us a letter to the editor copy on this very subject. The letter comes from a Theodore Russell, M.D., of Ohio, originally published in the Tribune Chronicle.

I enjoy Friday fragments because I know that I won't be getting up at 3 a.m. for the next two days. Our staff went to Clark Martin Photography for updated headshots and staff pictures this week. If you've never been inside their office, you should...

Pay attention folks to your judges and your supreme court, these people are legislating from the bench pure and simple. Judge Moses from Montana stopped our legally-passed voter registration law and the Montana supreme court upheld it. The law is absolutely 100 percent NON - discriminatory...
