When I was a little boy I spent as much time outdoors as I could. I was the type of kid who often came home with scraped knees and dirty clothes. But sometimes it rained and I needed something to occupy my time. Last week I took possession of something I haven’t owned in a decade or more. There was a time when I would purchase one annually. I even used to add one to my Christmas list as a young boy. Since it’s relatively inexpensive, it was one of the things on the list I actually got. Perhaps its because of the Internet that I got out of the...
With a strong sense of optimism surrounding the Sidney High School boys basketball team, the 2013-14 Raiders were unveiled to the public Monday night in a Nebraska Hall of Fame game at the Cabela's Athletic Facility. Although just an exhibition benefit which carries no weight in the standings, the new-look Raiders passed their first test in fine style, recording a 62-58 triumph over the North Platte Bulldogs, a Class A opponent. "You could feel the excitement we were really looking forward to...

There was a line in an old sitcom--I think it was M*A*S*H*--that went something like this: “Do you have anything to add, General?” “No, although I would like to add that I have nothing to add.” That’s kind of how I feel now. I have nothing to say. I thought I might find something interesting this morning by looking at web sights that say things about today in history.
