The Worst Storms I Remember – Dave Spencer’s Top Five
July 14, 2011 I don’t remember very many really bad storms as a child. We’d have tornado warnings and the sirens would sound. That would frighten the life out of me, but then we’d head over to my grandmother’s house and go down into her basement and then nothing would materialize. And when I was kid, I LOVED snowstorms. But I’m all grown up now. And I have grown-up attitudes about some of these nasty storms. In a nutshell, I’m not a fan. Here now are the worst storms I can remember:

Owensboro Business, UniFirst, Featured On CBS Show “Undercover Boss”
Last night I was watching CBS 44 at the beginning of the show it talked about UniFirst, a company in Owensboro; they are the leading supplier of uniforms, workwear and related products to businesses big and small since 1936. It was a very interesting show the President and CEO put on a wig and fake mustache and worked along side with people in the company to see how it was to work there and what could be done to make life easier in the company.

Parrish Avenue Church Sign Gets Right to the Point
July 7, 2011
"It's always your favorite sins that do you in."
That's my favorite line from Kenny Chesney's latest hit, "You and Tequila," written by Matraca Berg and Deana Carter. But I'll try to withhold playing the song as I drive down West Parrish Avenue in Owensboro. Thanks to Grace Pointe Church and this tongue-in-cheek little number, I had a big enough laugh that I needed to pull over.
