Blizzard Warning Southwest Kansas

Listen to the audio version of this blog.


It feels like it's been a while since we've seen a good amount of snow. So I'm thinking to myself, what I do I have to do to be prepared... all my seedlings are in the house, is the hose wrapped up? Where's my snow shovel? Are my tires in good shape? Do I need anything before traveling would just be stupid??? Yes! TOILET PAPER!!

The national weather service says:

TRAVEL WILL BE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE AND IS STRONGLY
DISCOURAGED. IF YOU MUST
TRAVEL...CARRY A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT WITH YOU. IF
YOU GET STRANDED...STAY WITH
YOUR VEHICLE.

So I found a few links that can help us prepare if we really really really do need to travel.

Pack a Winter Survival Kit - Just in case!http://www.ksdot.org/offTransInfo/511Info/511WinterStormSurvivalOct2007.pdf

You can also call 511 for road conditions. I was able to access the Kansas road conditions on my Minnesota based cellphone number.

Before you leave the house make sure your cellphone is charged fully and bring a car charger if you have one.

Here is a Coffee Can Winter Survival kit:

And last but not least a Winter Survival Kit inspired by the unfortunate death of James Kim:

Keep Safe this weekend! And hopefully we'll see you at the Better Home and Better Living Show this weekend at the Finney County Exhibition Building.

One Hit Wonder Request Line Battle

Listen to the audio version of this blog.



I'm putting together a One Hit Wonder - Request Line Battle Tournament and I'd love your input for songs and/or artists that should be considered to compete.

I have only ONE REQUIREMENT: Chose a song(s) from the last 10 years. (And the more current the better) Oh yea, and it has to be a Country song.

I'll also say that they don't technically -have- to be a one hit wonder. Just someone or group that you don't hear much of anymore... Maybe they had a couple good songs.

It's your chance to have one of your favorite One Hit Wonders played a couple times, assuming they advance through the tournament. ;)

16 songs will make a good tournament. So think hard. We can start the tournament with as few as two contenders.
