Nostalgia

Fill in the blank: “The one thing our city needs is ______.”

We've been lucky that the snow has avoided us this winter. Ten years ago Sedalia and Warrensburg weren't so lucky.

When I was a a kid my weekly allowance was 25 cents. Now I really don't remember if I had a set list of chores that I had to fulfill before got my quarter but I'm sure my mom and dad had plenty for me to do to earn the money.

There was a day when everything important, or at least to some it was deemed important, was posted at work on the bulletin board. Some of us even had a bulletin board at home to keep important info in one location.

If you try to tell your kids or grandkids about the old days a lot of times they just look at you funny, roll their eyes, and direct their attention back to whatever electronic device they were on. Most kids think it was the stone age and we rode dinosaurs everywhere.

If you grew up watching Kermit The Frog and Miss Piggy, you'll be in hog heaven (Sorry Miss Piggy!) with the return of the Jim Henson puppets.

Prior to the Kansas City Chiefs appearances in the AFC Championship game the last two years, when was the last time KC appeared in the title game and who was their opponent?

It's amazing how the workings of an on-air radio show has changed through the years. When I started when I was a sophomore in high school, you were reliant on performing a checklist of duties to keep you on the air.

I was listening to a 70's country channel on Alexa this morning. It took me back to a lot of songs in my younger years. I just wondered how much songwriters made when they wrote a hit song. Some of the artists I've been hearing as I write this include, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson...

As I take some trips down memory lane I think of the days when I was in the Boy Scouts in Butler, MO Troop 321. I can remember camp outs where we would throw on our backpacks and hike from the Scout Hall to our destination.
