Nostalgia

When I was kid growing up in Chicago, snow days were hard to come by. These days, the snow day may be an endangered species.

Fill in the blank: “The one thing our city needs is ______.”

We've been lucky that the snow has avoided us this winter. Ten years ago Sedalia and Warrensburg weren't so lucky.

But do people still do that?

So I threw out a couple of questions on the KIX 105.7 Facebook page. One was "Fake or real Christmas tree this year?" and the other was "Favorite Christmas candy."

Through my many years of Christmas' I've seen quite a few trees. Being raised in the country, living on a farm until I was five, and living in a small town for most of my childhood years, I still think those years of having a cedar tree adorning our house for Christmas is my favorite.

Losing someone is tough. No, I am not talking about being in a store and you wander off to another aisle and can’t be found or you can’t find that person that you came with. I’m talking about losing a relative and/or a friend to death.

It only took a picture of the atrium to realize I was looking at a little bit of hotel nostalgia right here in Sedalia.

As we enter the Fall and Winter months, a rule to help many across the state has gone into effect. The rule prevents utility companies from disconnecting someone's heat if the temperature is predicted to drop below 32 degrees during the following 24 hour period. It also allows customers to work out payment plans with utility companies.
