Listen To Life

Are you in a rut?

Do you drive the same way home every day when you get off of work?

So what would happen if you drove a different way home from work today? You’d see something new, potentially exciting and your mind would disengage from work more efficiently.

Do you eat in the same restaurant really often and find yourself ordering the same thing just about every time?

What would happen if you ate in a different restaurant on a different night of the week? Or, ate at the same restaurant, but ordered something you’d never eaten there before? You’d see new people, and experience new tastes.

Outdoor Truths

Perhaps the greatest reason for most of our failures is simple neglect. In the outdoor world it may be that we neglected to check to see if our scope was accurate before we went on our hunt. Or it may be that if we had not neglected to retie our spinner bait, that bass would not have broken the line. Neglect comes in many forms when it comes to hunting and fishing.

White an Astro, Arizona Diamondbacks Win Big in MLB Draft

Last week, Tyler White was hoping to get a shot at the big leagues following his four-year effort of school and baseball career at Western Carolina University.

The former Chase High baseball standout received that nod as he became a part of the Houston Astros in the 33rd round of the Major League Baseball Draft over the weekend. While helping Western Carolina pick up the So-Con regular season title this season and becoming a Louisville Slugger All-American, being drafted by a major league team just made 2013 even sweeter for the Rutherford County native.
