Parson revealed on Facebook the backstory behind his first tattoo.Last week at Chiefs training camp, I had the opportunity to huddle with our Super Bowl 57 champions and show off my new ink.When I was in the Army, I had several buddies get tattoos but I never did. I always told myself if I ever got one it would have to be significant. Well this tattoo is very significant to me in a lot of ways.The “57” represents my time serving as Missouri’s 57th Governor. I was honored to earn 57% of the vote during our election in 2020.

Party Tips: Keep your grill clean so your next barbecue doesn’t fizzle

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:43:24 GMT

The chicken kebabs were ready to grill. The salad was made, and the patio table set. But when my husband fired up our outdoor gas grill — nothing happened.I go and push the button. I listen for the clicks. Nothing.“I replaced the propane tank,” he says, “so that’s not it.”“So, what is it?” I ask.He shrugs. We are out of ideas. We would not have survived long in the Stone Age.The Weber cart grill is less than two years old. We don’t use it that much, so how could it be broken? A look under the hood offers a clue. It looks like a tarpit.“Looks like some critter got in,” DC says. He reaches past the petrified pitch and pulls out a handful of frayed and chewed wires.“At least you weren’t hosting a holiday barbecue,” says John DiGioia, owner of Orlando Grill Repair, who came out the next day. “Before summer holidays, we’re booked two or three weeks out. That’s when people start to bribe you.”As DiGioia opens the lid to inspect the grill, he lets out a long slow whistle. Then he get...

Dave Hovis and his friends hardly noticed the advisories for strong wind gusts from Hurricane Dora passing far off shore earlier this week as they enjoyed a relaxing vacation in a friend’s waterfront home at Baby Beach in Maui. The next day, they were ramming through a gate to escape the deadly wildfire that destroyed the nearby resort town of Lahaina.“We were just hanging out in the pool and, like, boom! All this wind hit,” Hovis, 32, a San Francisco technology startup company manager, said Thursday in a telephone interview with the Bay Area News Group as he boarded a plane back to the Bay Area. “But the hurricane was 600 miles south so we thought, no big deal.”On Monday, Hovis, vacationing with four others this week at a friend’s home on the island, said they secured the inflatable pool floats and other loose items and didn’t think much more about it. But by morning, electrical power and cellular service were out.“We just hunkered do...
