History

The last time we witnessed a total solar eclipse in our area was back on August 21, 2017. It was a major event for not only in our area but all across Missouri and 12 other states.

Easter Monday, April 5, 2021. Some people take off the day after Easter (Sunday, April 4) Since Easter is not considered a federal holiday, many take the day off the next day or some even have activities going on.

The Easter bunny's always been a thing. But I don't remember ever getting a visit from The Easter bunny. Or going to the mall to visit the Easter bunny.

I think it's very interesting to delve into the history books and found out nuggets or tidbits of information that I didn't know before about Missouri. I ran across some of that information and I just had to share it with you. Some you may know...some you may not.

I saw a story from accuweather.com that stated "17-year cicadas to swarm 15 states this spring, summer." So will it just be cicadas that we have to deal with or we still see our fair share of locusts? And While we're being inquisitive, what's the difference between the two?

There was no property damage or monetary loss, just.... a bro is sad at the train station.

DYK-Did You Know or Do You Know-an acronym. The question is did you know that Liquid Paper was invented by the mom of a member of the rock group "The Monkees"?

While you're tying your do-rag this morning, or pulling your hankie out of your purse to wipe your child's snotty nose you have to wonder, how many uses are there for this 417th wonder of the world?

While you might consider going to a Grizzlies Baseball game in Sauget, you probably won't want to hang around for anything else.

It was a pretty daunting task, because, well, there are a lot.
