There are lots of blogs out there (and right here!). The word "blog" has become so commonplace over the last fifteen to twenty years that we think nothing of it. But, have you ever wondered about the origin of the word, "blog?"

We saw it over and over again during the holidays. A teenage boy at his family's Christmas gathering, who apparently only cares about looking at his iPhone. The TV ad--titled, "Misunderstood," has a very touching surprise ending. It turns out that the young man was recording video of the various activities surrounding the family's celebration, and surprises them on Christmas morning by t

How did you ring out 2013 and ring in 2014? A party? Did you go out to a local nightclub and celebrate with friends? Or, perhaps you avoided the crowds, stayed home, and watched the big ball in New York City (or the big Moon Pie in Mobile, AL) drop?

Three members of the Mission Valley Tiger Cub Scouts Pack 422 got a tour of the KIXS 108 studio on Monday, December 30, 2013. Parents and Pack leaders accompanied the Tiger Cubs on the tour, and KIXS 108 Morning Personality Skeeter Nash answered their questions on everything from how his voice gets from the studio to your radio, to why there is carpeting on the walls of the KIXS control room!

My days start VERY early...at present, I get up at 3:20am. Why so early, you may (or may not) ask? Because until our new house in Victoria is ready for my wife Sweetie and me to occupy, I am still driving in from El Campo! But I digress. Anyway, when your day starts that early, your whole meal "schedule" gets moved up, compared to folks who work, say, from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Now, I've alw

Once again this week, KIXS 108 Morning Show host Skeeter Nash will be anchoring the Amateur Radio Newsline® report, heard around the world, over the ham radio airwaves, and online at www.arnewsline.org. This is a valuable service to ham radio operators worldwide, with reports coming in from all around the globe. A dedicated group of volunteers produce these reports, and they use their background i

The Shiner Comanches fell short of their bid to become the Class 1A, Division I State Champions, losing to the Stamford Bulldogs, 41-28. Stamford racked up 34 unanswered points in the second half of the game. On Shiner's final possession, an interception allowed the Bulldogs to regain the ball with 15 seconds left. Stamford's Gus West snagged the interception and knelt down at the Bulldogs' 21-yar

Another high school football team is Arlington-bound, as the Refugio Bobcats (14-1) will take on undefeated Cisco (15-0) at AT&T Stadium tonight at 8:00pm for the Class 2A, Division II state championship. You can watch the game on Fox Sports Southwest Plus (Suddenlink Ch. 96...

Shiner, Texas is well-known for its namesake brand of beers. But these days, Shiner can be proud of another great institution: the Shiner High School Comanches football team is headed to tonight's Class 1A, Division I state championship game to be played at AT&T Stadium (formerly Cowboys Stadium) in Arlington. If they emerge victorious, it will be the

Yesterday, a nice lady (whose name I did not get--sorry!) came by the radio station, selling homemade tamales. Now, I like them just fine, but my wife, Sweetie, just LOVES tamales! It's traditional around the Christmas season for folks to make and sell homemade tamales, most often to raise a little extra money for the Holidays.

Recently, Amtrak put a very special interactive piano into Chicago Union Station. The piano could "react" to people nearby, and even interact with people who played it (and other instruments)! This is sure to make you smile!

We're all familiar with the Christmas tradition of the North American Air Defense (NORAD) folks keeping track of Santa's sleigh on its annual trek from the North Pole on Christmas Eve. Well, wouldn't you know, this year, someone is "offended" by this "tradition." Well, all it takes to get Earl's blood pressure rising is for someone to needlessly complain about something. Listen
