009. Forensic Entomology
April 30, 2020 21:00 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MBThis topic came to me as I was reflecting on what I wanted to do when I got out of high school.

Mind you this is 1 of about 300 different career prospects that I had chosen between the ages of 13 and 20. So for this week’s topic I fused it with another interest of mine, my curiosity for forensic science and...
008. The Kentucky Meat Shower
April 24, 2020 05:59 - 11 minutes - 10.5 MBIt always seems that at this time of year we experience really strange weather. Either really hot days or a week worth of rain out of nowhere. I like to call this “weather limbo”. To me it feels like summer and winter are absolutely battling it out. Although we go through up and down weather, thank goodness we’ll never go through a phenomenon like the 1876 Kentucky meat shower. It was a day like any other, Mrs Crouch, a farmer’s wife, was sitting outside making soap when she reported to hav...
