Missouri

Well, this is unexpected but makes more sense the more I think about it. One of the best places for vampires in America is in Illinois and the reasons why will hopefully make you laugh and/or cringe.

Just so you know, I had promised myself that I would not share anything new about the United States 'Doomsday Planes' in our area unless something really strange happened. Well, this is that strange thing. I have proof that one of America's worst-case scenario planes just refueled over Illinois and then suddenly disappeared from radar.

I would say that this is a good reminder to lock your car doors in Missouri and Illinois, but I'm not sure that would matter much as a new report says incidents in both states are exploding and especially in Illinois.

Phones used to be attached to walls with cords. Movies used to need to be rewound and returned to a rental store. The common hangout place used to be malls, but that era has now passed, too. There's a video showing one final walk through a Missouri mall that was demolished 14 years ago.

Many people consider "The Exorcist" the scariest movie of all time. While the creator admits that he changed some of the details, but the movie was truly based on real events that happened in St. Louis, Missouri in 1949 that are much more terrifying than the movie it inspired.

By any and every measure, this is a monster deer. Terry Drury is a name you likely know if you're a hunter and he just took down a 216-inch buck and there's video to prove the achievement.

It appears that parts of Missouri that are desperately in need of moisture will get rain later this week. The only question is how much and will it help the state's dire drought conditions. It looks like there's at least some hope of helpful rain coming.

If you've heard the phrase "what goes around, comes around" then you'll understand the irony of this. A convicted robber in Missouri went online with his loot and then promptly got robbed himself.

If you've purchased frozen vegetables from a grocery store in Missouri or Illinois recently, time to check the freezer as there is now an urgent recall due to possible listeria contamination.

I've seen homes do this over the years, but only recently realized that it was only happening during the month of October. Why do Missouri homes choose to display purple porch lights? The truth is sad.
