Springfield

I'm not crafty. Try as I might, I'm just not.

When I was little, there was a big scare on the news all over the country about missing children.

A Springfield man has been sentenced to eight years in prison for receiving and distributing child pornography.

Maybe I grew up in a bubble, but I always kind of thought of Sedalia and all of Mid Missouri as a crimeless area. I know that's silly, but when I was a kid, and even in my teen years, I didn't hear much about crime in our area.

A 42-year-old Springfield woman was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison without parole after pleading guilty to producing child pornography.

Spring officially begins today (March 20), and that means we can finally put behind one of the coldest and snowiest winters we've had. There may be a few chances at snow coming up, since winter was long, but I want to concentrate on what's coming up: lots of sunshine and travel.

Kids, this week was my 34th birthday.  We had a nice cake here at the station, and since it was a Wednesday, I didn't do anything to celebrate that night.  What I did do, this weekend, was go on a big ol' history nerd trip.
