We’re getting crafty with the cold weather here at The Hutchinson News. Yes, it’s tempting to wallow in the misery of frigid temperatures (and I’m sure we’ll do our share of griping), but we’re also going to try to have some fun with it. Below are three science experiments we’ll be trying out that should … Continue reading

Current Conditions: Thanks a lot, Mercury
Everyone, it’s safe to leave your homes; Mercury is no longer in retrograde. The last day of the last retrograde cycle for Mercury this year was nothing short of crazy. For those reading this who aren’t astrology buffs (don’t feel bad, I just learned what this meant), Mercury’s retrograde period basically means chaos. Plans, The … Continue reading
Current Conditions: The writing on the wall
If you didn’t catch it, I wrote this story about gang graffiti for The News this week.

Sports reporter Brad Hallier, of Blogging Frankly fame, was helping with the search. He opened the top drawer of the desk behind him that doesn’t get much use … Continue reading

Current Conditions: If you can’t say anything nice…
“Holy s***!” That’s what I said in my cubicle when I read the comments to the story about a motorcycle fatality Friday morning. In three words the comments were cruel, insensitive and disappointing. I am no prude. Personally, I don’t care about curse words, but I understand why we monitor them. What I care about … Continue reading
Current Conditions: Mo’ horses, mo’ problems
