I don’t have to say it. We’re all aware of it. This has a wet May for the record books. Texas went from being in a years upon years drought to being out of it in a matter of weeks. That’s Texas for you. One extreme to the other. Since May first we have seen…… MORE

Matt Stoker: 5/27/15 Wasp Season
Summer to me means wasps. It’s wasp season. I haven’t seen any building nests around my house just yet, but they’re coming. If there’s one thing I’m truly afraid of, it’s bees and wasps. I suppose I’m afraid of many things, but those are near the top of the list. I’m not allergic as far…… MORE
Nichole Deal: 5/26/15 Celebrate a Texas teacher
As we approach the end of the academic school year, I find myself thinking about the educators and teachers that have warmed my daughter’s life as well as the lives of many other children. This time of year is bitter sweet. All the fuss over the report cards, cleaning out those lockers and book bags…… MORE
Rick Hadley: 5/25/15 I fought the law
It was a Thursday evening. The wife and I had just had dinner in the Bishop Arts District. My food was a little unsatisfactory, but otherwise everything was hunky-dory, until we walked back to my pickup. As we strolled across the street I noticed the parking ticket on windshield, tucked neatly under the windshield wiper.…… MORE
Robbie Hoy: 5/22/15 Everyone needs to slow down
I drive a lot. Whether it’s for work or on my personal time, a nice 30 or 45 minute drive clears my head and can be relaxing. But, in the last six months I’ve seen a lot more aggressive drivers out there. A quick example: I was in Tarrant County recently in my personal car.…… MORE
Mickey Briggs: 5/20/15 Doing my own yard.
After the guy that used to take care of my yard raised the price sharply this year, despite the lower gas prices for his mower and gas yard tools, I decided to start taking care of my yard myself. After all it’s great exercise and I seem to do a better job than the person…… MORE
Matt Stoker: 5/13/15 Enough already with the storms
When I was growing up, I loved storms. Especially bad ones. There was something exhilarating about living in the country and watching one grow above the horizon until it eventually rolled in. Of course, I didn’t enjoy the yard work that followed, but that was a minor inconvenience to the thrill of watching the storm…… MORE
Doug Helton: 5/12/15 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The last time we talked I mentioned that spring is my favorite time of the year. A renewal for all kinds of things from trees to plants, everything turning green again. But with that also comes spring storms. In the radio news business it’s something we keep constant eye on and when flooding or tornadoes…… MORE
Rick Hadley: 5/11/15 Terror vs. Freedom
Did you ever imagine it would come to this? Terrorism right here in our own back yard. Welcome back to the dark ages where it’s repent or die and you still will likely die for all the things you did or didn’t do or the things the accuser believes you did or didn’t do correctly.…… MORE
Marna Davis: 5/8/15 Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day holds a special meaning when your mom has passed away. My mother got a brain tumor when I was a sophomore in college, and passed away when I was a senior. I commuted for five hours a day between my hometown of San Diego and Los Angeles, where I went to college to…… MORE
