Sure, that seems like a dated story from the 1920s. However, there are still plenty of hot air balloon enthusiasts and some are used for advertising. Yesterday Minnesota Department Of Transportation cameras caught a hot air balloon quickly losing altitude near Highway 63, the highway that connects Rochester to Stewartville near I-90.

Having “smart” appliances is all the rage, even for stuff that definitely doesn’t NEED to be smart like a toilet.  And sometimes, there are downsides to things being overly complicated.

We often see TV shows and the occasional movie where a person damages their own property in order to collect money from the insurance. In some cases they are being even more nefarious as they try to murder someone. Usually they do it in secret and try to avoid being caught. The other day a […]

Imagine getting lost. We don;t worry about it as much as we used to with GPS in our phones and cars, but it can still happen. A man was dropping off a friends and got lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Luckily for an Iowa family he did. Because being lost helped him find their home […]

While around our area we don’t worry too much about traffic and drive with a defensive strategy in the Twin Cities you must drive more offensively. Should you have an emergency getting over to the […]

We’ve reached the point in the seasons where one seems to come and go depending on the day. After a few beautiful days a few weeks ago we have been thrust back into winter like temperatures. Fingers crossed that the precipitation coming the next few days stays as mostly rain with a few stray flakes […]

There are movies where the unsuspecting tour group is somewhere famous when an emergency breaks out.

Yesterday a tour group was touring […]
