A Day in the Life

By Michelle Wyckoff

Snooze Buttons.  One of my favorite things in life.  I always set the alarm on my phone for 30 minutes before I actually want to get up.  I gave up on alarm clocks long ago.  I’m technologically challenged. When my phone goes off, I set it for 30 minutes later, then go back to sleep for another half hour.

That sounds much longer than going back to sleep for  “another 30 minutes”.  I am a master at cheating the clock.

Photo of the Week

One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart and the COOP C-Store in Eads, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.

Home Country

By Slim Randles

There was Doc, just cruising around slowly on a warm Saturday, alone with his thoughts, which kinda centered around “I sure am lucky to live here.”

Then he saw the carboard boxes with bricks on top to hold them down in the wind, and an arrow on the front.

Saling! Yard saling! It’s that season again. And of course he had to stop. Especially if you hadn’t been yard saling in months.
