An investigation by the United States Department of Labor has led the feds to sue a Missouri restaurant for $1.87 million dollars in back wages on behalf of 26 employees.

This brings up so many questions. Many maps have been shared over the years showing what the federal government believes would be the most likely targets if a worst-case scenario nuclear exchange were to occur. Why does that latest FEMA map now show many unexpected Missouri targets all of a sudden?

I've heard it said that if you fail to learn history, you are doomed to repeat it. That's why it's important that we all know that the Missouri capital building has burned to the ground twice and for strange reasons.

It's not completely unexpected, but still sad that Big Lots announced today that they're closing more than 300 stores and I've confirmed that includes a half dozen locations in Missouri.

I wouldn't be so paranoid if it wasn't for the fact that everyone is out to get me. Perhaps that's an exaggeration, but can you identify with the idea that things may be happening around you that are more dangerous than you'd like to think? Well, consider this. A report infers that there are 5 labs in different parts of Missouri that contain deadly plagues. Gulp.

Having grown up in a Missouri family that farms, I can tell you that farmers know things that others don't and that's especially true about the weather. They have almost a sixth sense to understand seasons. That's why I took notice when Farmer's Almanac says it knows what day will be the first Fall frost in Missouri.

If you've ever wanted your own grocery store land/property, I found some leads for you. It's actually from one of the more popular grocery chains in Missouri that suddenly has 3 locations available.

We've always known that if the world ever enters a worst-case nuclear attack scenario that Missouri would be one of the first places hit. However, it was believed there were only 2 or 3 likely targets for an attack. A newly-updated FEMA map suddenly shows there are now dozens of Missouri places in grave danger if an enemy were ever to make our worst dreams come true.

In what should be the least surprising news I share today, I did not attend preschool before I entered elementary school in Missouri. Perhaps I should have as there are some great options among the top 10 rated public preschools in Missouri that all deserve the A they get.

It sadly seems like this is becoming a daily occurrence. There's another major restaurant chain that's closing locations and this one from Red Lobster numbers at least 80 and does including Missouri locations reportedly.
