Christmas is coming
The decor is starting to go up in local communities. Washington’s decorations also started showing up on the poles recently. I can’t believe it is already that time of year. It still have things I want to accomplish this summer… oh wait, summer’s long gone.
Snyder is back in!
Bill Snyder is speaking right now as the new K-State football coach. Good luck to him. If he can bring back to Manhattan what he did in his first term, then he will be the legend of legends. I’m also done using sources for a while, because mine was wrong that Patterson was definitely the [...]
Hanover state champs! Clifton-Clyde runner-up
The Hanover Wildcats beat Victoria in the 8-man division II state championship game today 46-14. Clifton-Clyde lost a hard-fought TVL battle to take the runner-up spot to B&B in the 8-man division I championship game, 16-24. Congratulations to both teams for tremendous seasons! And I’m sorry to the folks who posted scores and updates. For [...]
Blogroll
I finally figured out how to get my “blogroll” in the sidebar. You’ll notice on the top of the right sidebar is a Blogroll where you can click to go to other sites. I will not post many links on there – just sites that I feel are local and relevant to this blog or [...]
Gas prices
I just drove by Casey’s. Gas is at $1.72 a gallon!!!! Wow.
Please keep kids at home if they’re sick
As a parent of five, I urge anyone who has a sick kid to keep them home from school or out of public situations that have people bunched together. My kindergartener has strep throat and has been home from school yesterday and today. This morning, my three year old came up with it so it [...]
Warning: Don’t watch this video if you are secretly looking at this blog. Your laugh may give you away.
This week’s waste of time is another youtube video that has nothing to do with local Washington County News. Sorry. This video is from failblog.org, one of the most popular WordPress blogs and worth checking out when you’re on deadline and need a way to waste more time, thereby shooting yourself in the foot. I [...]
Don’t complain. It could be worse!
I’ve been complaining like everyone else about today’s cold temps. After seeing this pictures from a local i-Reporter (I’ll talk about that concept later), I realize I could have it worse. These guys are working on the new cell tower near the hotel in Washington today. It’s gotta be cold up there! Thank you to [...]
It’s snowing!
At least a few very small flakes are falling, but this would make it the first snow of the year as far as I know. Get out the hot chocolate!
State football correction
In the story about Clifton-Clyde making it to the state championship, I said this was the first time Clifton-Clyde made it to the state championship as a combined school. Wrong! They made it in 1982 and 1990. Sorry about that. I should have known about that 1990 team because that was the team that rolled [...]
