There is a modern advantage to reading that continues to pour forth as we consume more "information"-based media. Gone are the days when one would have to make a trip to the library to look up why the venerable George R.R.Martin spells his moniker of respect "Ser." Now, one can merely flip over to a search engine and with more magic than Merlin could summon, obtain a battery of answers and rabbit holes to dive into for more.

Well, I wimped out. I always joke about hunting until the whistle blows no matter what, but this time was different. I hunted Friday morning and everything felt so right. A little wind, but not enough to make much of a difference. The sun was shining and deer were moving. It was also one of the few times all year that I saw plenty of ducks flying. But after lunch the wind began to pick up. The temperature started to drop and by 4:00 I could see my breath. I knew Saturday, the last day of the season, was supposed to be cold, but that never stopped me before.

A plant is no better than what it grows in. Got good dirt…er, potting soil?
Had a dream the other night, vivid enough to wake me to text myself a morning reminder; however, the next morning I this message on my phone: pit t soi imdian mods. Took a while to figure out that it was a reminder that, decades ago while working in the MSU horticulture greenhouses, we used soil partly excavated from ancient Indian mounds.

Lt. Governor Hosemann outraised the potential gubernatorial field last year, pulling in nearly $1.7 million with AG Fitch not far behind. However, Auditor White leads the pack in cash on hand with over $3.8 million.
This time next year, all eyes will be on who is running for what state office in Mississippi.
Campaign finance reports filed last week, and the related messaging from current officeholders, give voters a glimpse into who will be jockeying for higher office.

Some Holmes County residents have lived for days without power and water. Some have slept in cars for warmth. Some have missed hot meals.
It was the fourth day after the ice storm that Loleeta Cobbins had purchased a $2 package of hot dogs to feed to her kids. It was the fourth morning she woke up in her car beside her mother after tucking her five children into blankets in a closet — the warmest part of their cold apartment. It was when she started to dilute her newborn’s baby formula.

There’s a nationwide push for more nuclear power, driven by an AI data center boom, but plants require huge investments and raise safety and environmental concerns.
Mississippi lawmakers are pushing for the state to incentivize nuclear energy production, as increasing such production becomes a surprisingly bipartisan issue nationwide
Over the past fifteen years, Democratic and Republican presidents have pushed to increase the U.S.’s nuclear capacity by keeping existing plants operating and investing in new ones.

Murals are one of the oldest art forms in human history. A team of archaeologists recently discovered a faded hand outline on a cave wall in Indonesia, dating back at least 67,800 years. Let that sink in for a moment. Quick math tells us that someone made that mural 65,774 years before Jesus Christ. Most likely, ancestors to indigenous Australians lived in a dark cave on a remote island and for expression, they used earth-based raw materials to make art on rock.

Believe it or not, Southern Miss has yet to win a regular-season Sun Belt Conference baseball championship since joining the league in the fall of 2021.
The Golden Eagles have come close. They finished as the runner-up in three straight seasons — behind Coastal Carolina in 2023, Louisiana in 2024 and Coastal Carolina again in 2025. During that stretch, Southern Miss has proven itself in the postseason, winning the Sun Belt Tournament championship in 2023 and 2024 before falling in the title game last season.

Any of my friends who live out of town know that when I visit, there’s a ritual I perform every day: picking up a copy of their local daily newspaper. In fact, I don’t feel my visit is complete without a copy of that town’s daily paper to read. And I mean paper, literally, as in a print edition. Oh, I know everything is going digital these days as technology consumes every part of our lives.
