Sissy the year old lovable miniature Dachshund has got a new address, thanks to Larry Farrow of Brownwood, Texas. Animal Services Manager Aaron Vannoy said "Farrow first learned of Sissy's impending doom through the 'KEAN Critters' blog. Mr. Farrow contacted me and we made arrangements for him to adopt Sissy."
April 4, 2013 Have you got some old coins or stamps you think might be worth something? I think I do. My dad just gave me what was my late mothers penny collection. While I thought of taking the big five gallon bottle to Coin Star (an idea my boss gave me) and cashing all those little Lincolns in. My wife Donna says "what if there's a 1943 copper penny in there?" So, I contacted the local Key City Coin, Stamp and Sportscard Club (I was a member of in the late '70's.) To my surprise the club still meets, every first Thursday of the month at the senior citizens center at Rose Park.
April 4, 2013 When I first saw the video on this Hovercraft golf cart, I thought, it's only for movies or maybe even an April Fools prank. Then Monday, I saw a newspaper story about "the hottest thing coming to golf courses across the country." Stop and think of the possibilities, driving this bad boy to work on a Abilene rainy day when the streets get flooded. With this hovercraft cart, flooded streets are not a problem anymore.
April 3, 2013 The last time country music fans saw George Strait and Garth Brooks together on the same stage was when George Strait was inducted as Artist of the Decade in May 2009. Now, it appears the Academy of Country Music Association (ACM) has done it again. On Sunday April 7th, the two country music giants will appear together again on the same stage.
April 3, 2013 Over the Easter holiday weekend I spent some time with family. In fact, my wife Donna, our little girl Angie and I all went to Donna's grandma and grandpa Allison's house for Easter Sunday dinner. Over the course of the meal grandpa tells me that he has been working on his tractor and asked if I could help him locate a tire for his big Ford tractor. I told him I would take care of it and that he need not mess with it (after all he is 97 years old.) He then tells me "I've almost got it all the way off already."

Duke, the sweet, petite 2 year old Border Collie mix, got lucky. Since Duke was found roaming the street in front of the Abilene Animal Shelter, he was considered a stray. Strays are usually scheduled to be put to death after a customary waiting period. That time for Duke had run out. Luckily, a Border Collie rescue group from Conroe, Texas stepped forward and agreed to take Duke in at a foster home. Duke will live with Deborah, a Border Collie Rescue Volunteer, until a permanent home is found for Duke.
April 1, 2013 Yep! We got it the single before it was even released to radio, the new LoCash Cowboys single "Chase A Little Love" is the first single from their forth coming summer album. By the sounds of what I'm hearing, LoCash Cowboys spent their time wisely in the studio writing and producing this project. "Chase A Little Love" was written by Preston Brust, but Chris Lucas takes the lead vocal on this one.

Jake Owen will tell you, “I have a huge scar on my shoulder that's there to remind me about the one dark time in my life when, I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to be doing. What I was supposed to be doing, was something that fulfilled my music." Jake is now in line with what he is supposed to be doing and that is singing his songs, touring and selling out shows. If you've been to one of his 'The Summer Never Ends' shows, then you know that a lot of thought, rehearsal and planning went into his show.
