It's that time of year when movie theaters and restaurants are deserted on Friday nights, because everyone flocks to high school football games. Football in Texas is king, and with the new season upon us, hopes are high that our teams are going to impress and win. What are the expectations this year for Lufkin and Nacogdoches?

Yes, West Nile is a huge concern across Texas and 47 other US states right now. But it's not necessary to call 911 when you notice a mosquito bite. Are people really doing that?

If you're sitting around with your pals this weekend in front of the TV, there's a new drinking game you may want to try. Have you heard the buzz about the mustache game?

Kids have a pretty sweet situation with allowance money these days. I think I scored $2 per week from my parents to start, and then later on I got an extra $1.50 or $2 for mowing certain sections of the yard. That's how I could afford those hot eleven dollar jeans! The average allowance nowadays is just over $16 a week or $65 per month, according to the American Institute of CPA's. That comes ou

The new lion cub at the Ellen Trout Zoo has a name! It's been a summer of births at the zoo, with several intriguing new babies born. The lion cub has been named Sango. The city says the name has meaning - Sango is the Yoruba god of lightning and thunder. We've got a chance to catch a sneak peak at the little lion cub this weekend, but we'll have to be on our toes.

The Honda Accord seems to be one of the most common vehicles seen on the roads, not only across the US, but right here in East Texas. Driving on the Highway 59 we see tons of Accords, mixed in with several domestic pickup trucks and foreign and domestic SUVs. I’m rockin’ a Chevy Traverse, packed full of car seats, diaper bags, and scattered discarded Cheerios. And you? If you drive a Tahoe, rest a

Have you noticed a lot more warnings about the West Nile Virus this summer? I have. And I have to admit, although I'm usually the family member that warns everyone else about recalls, potential scams, and severe weather potential, I haven't been all that concerned about West Nile. My spouse on the other hand, hoses down the kids with insect repellant every time we go outside, and wants to invest

I read that 20 percent of us check our smart phones every ten minutes. I hate to admit it, but I'm one of those helpless, pathetic addicts. I just can't stand not knowing what might be going on inside that phone as it sits there on my desk. Has someone sent a text? What new emails have just landed? Maybe I should check Facebook. Perhaps a celebrity couple has broken up....I should see. Stop

Six feet tall and 300 pounds sounds like a good size to play football. But apparently that's too big at age 12, and in that case league rules say the boy will have to stay on the sidelines. Fox Sports Southwest did a story that many media outlets are covering, on the 12-year old boy from Mesquite, near Dallas, who was told after a weigh-in Sunday that he wouldn't be able to play.

Bruce Willis looks good bald. Can you even picture him with a full head of hair? Me neither. He might look goofy. Other guys might look goofy with no hair. It all depends on the shape of the head I suppose, right? Having a head that's thin with good proportions seems to be of extreme importance when it comes to looking good bald. One nearby Texas city is ranked in the Top 10 nationwide for it

Texas has its share of strange town names. The state is dotted with towns with names that stand out like, Nimrod, Bug Tussle, Uncertain, Zipperlandville, and Ding Dong. But thankfully, none of those were singled out by a new article featuring the most unfortunate town names in the US. Findmypast.com gives us the winner – or perhaps the loser in this case. It’s not far away, so maybe you’ve been th

The Lufkin Little League All-Stars fell one win shy of a trip to Williamsport and the Little League World Series. But overall, it was a magical season and the 11 and 12-year olds should be very proud, and will probably have some brand new popularity when they head back to school this fall.
