Wanna-be Strongman
This might be the funniest story of the weekend, if it wasn’t so frightening…
This is a Bad Move
Obviously, Musk and Trump have no concern for those of us who live in Tornado Alley. A move that strangles the Weather. Service makes getting warnings to the public more difficult. Broadcast meteorologists will be pressed to forecast without the data and expertise of NOAA.

Happy Holidays!
I’m going to try to spend more time writing and posting here in 2024. In the meantime (and to test my ability to post videos) enjoy what I think is a great version of a holiday favorite of mine from a surprising source…Counting Crows.
Great Work
This kind of reporting takes time and dedication. You don’t crank it out in 30 minutes!

Throughout my career, I knew I had Arkansas’ stellar Freedom of Information law to support a search for information. Today there is a frightening attempt to gut that law…a law for EVERYONE, not just reporters.
The attack on Arkansas citizens’ right to know the hows and whys of local and state government decisions grows more intense.
