After the third turnaround, the flight was finally canceled. All passengers were set to be rebooked on other flights and given refunds, a $100 credit for future bookings, and hotel and dining vouchers.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Two guys wearing clown masks\u00a0tried\u00a0to rob a couple outside their house in Texas with a machete\u00a0last Friday.\u00a0 But the couple fought back.<\/p>\n The wife broke her granddaughter’s scooter in half, beat them with it, then held them down with her husband until the cops got there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ___________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1968, the original\u00a0“Planet of the Apes”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0was released.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1976,\u00a0“Taxi Driver”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0was released, starring\u00a0Robert De Niro<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Jodie Foster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SATURDAY- _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n FEBRUARY 8TH, 1997\u00a0 <\/strong>Mark Chesnutt hits #1 with “It’s A Little Too Late”<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n WEB FIND OF THE DAY : Cops Brought Out Their Tactical Gear for a Snowball Fight with Kids<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a video making the rounds of cops outside Seattle having a snowball fight with a bunch of kids on Monday.\u00a0 And they brought out some of their SWAT gear for it.\u00a0 But they were just having fun.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They used a tactical shield to move in on them in a park . . . then decided to retreat, because they were outnumbered.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In their Facebook post, they joked that they’d been dispatched to deal with a group of “suspicious characters in a local park” who were “armed with improvised projectiles.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was the first snow day in the area in a long time.\u00a0 So the kids didn’t have school.\u00a0 And there wasn’t much going on, so the cops didn’t have anything else to do.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was all part of an effort to get out and engage kids in the area, so they know the police are on their side.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S GOOD NEWS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n An 89-year-old woman named Rose Griest stopped at a gas station near Gainesville, Florida the other day.\u00a0 And she was having trouble getting back in her car, because her legs were giving out on her.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Her husband David was there too, but he’s just as old and couldn’t help her much.\u00a0 So three YOUNG guys dropped everything and stepped in to help.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They got her into her car, and caught her when she almost fell.\u00a0 Then they helped David with his walker too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A cop who happened to see it posted a video on Facebook that’s now been viewed over five million times.\u00a0 One reason it’s going viral is because the older couple is white, and the three guys who helped them are black.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We only know their first names . . .

Currently, Hilgermissen\u2019s hundreds of homes are labeled with just numbers, and residents give their postal address as their house number and the name of the town.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Those in favor of the introduction of street names pointed to emergency services, postal and courier companies and visitors, who often struggle to find their destinations because consecutive house numbers are not always close to each other, with some as far as 3 kilometers apart.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite officially only having numbers, some streets have been given nicknames by residents, including B\u00e4ckerweg [Baker Way], a popular name used in many German towns and cities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 60 per cent of voters rejected the proposal to name the streets. \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n HAND SANITIZER IS THE ULTIMATE HACK FOR DEODORIZING SMELLY SHOES<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Stinky shoes are pretty gross, but there’s apparently an easy way to kill the smell, a method you might not have thought of.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reddit user superfluousapostroph recently posted on the site: “When my shoes start to smell, I pull the soles out, smear a dollop of hand sanitizer on the inside bottoms, & let them dry overnight.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They smell better in the morning.” The trick might sound a bit crazy, but Luke Lombardo, RRCA certified running coach recently told Runner’s World. “Not only is it important to get rid of that nasty smell that is on your shoes, but it\u2019s also imperative that you kill the pesky bacteria living in your shoes.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Centers for Disease Control says if you’re going to skip on using soap and water to clean your shoes, you can use alcohol-based hand sanitizer that is at least 60 percent alcohol. Be sure to use enough of the stuff, and let your shoes dry completely for it to be effective.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other commenters on the Reddit thread recommended using other disinfectants like Lysol or 70 percent isopropyl rubbing alcohol spray to deodorize shoes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0_____________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n FRIDAY FEBRUARY 8TH<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [87] John Williams<\/strong>, composer (one of cinema\u2019s all-time greatest composers who wrote the theme music for the \u201cStar Wars\u201d movies, \u201cSuperman\u201d, and \u201cIndiana Jones\u201d and \u201cJaws\u201d) FACT: He has never seen a Star Wars movie for which he composed the music<\/p>\n [64] John Grisham<\/strong>, lawyer-turned-novelist: Movies made from his books include \u201cThe Pelican Brief\u201d (1993), \u201cA Time to Kill\u201d (1996), \u201cRunaway Jury\u201d (2003)<\/p>\n [45] Seth Green<\/strong>, actor<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Montreal\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Winnipeg\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2<\/p>\n Edmonton\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minnesota\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1<\/p>\n Chicago\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Vancouver\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3<\/p>\n Las Vegas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Detroit\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n SUNDAY- <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LOCALLY\u2026\u2026<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Flood Watch continues\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Chatham Maroons and Komoka Kings ended Thursday night\u2019s game in a 4-4 tie after no scoring in double overtime.<\/p>\n The Maroons return home on Sunday to take on the Strathroy Rockets at 7 p.m<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BROOKS & DUNN TO RELEASE FIRST ALBUM IN 12 YEARS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Although the superstar duo has been performing Vegas shows, it\u2019s been 12 years since\u00a0Brooks & Dunn<\/strong>\u00a0recorded together, and now a new album is in the works.\u00a0Taste of Country\u00a0<\/em>reports\u00a0that the album will feature duets with several artists including\u00a0Luke Combs<\/strong>,\u00a0Brothers Osborne<\/strong>,\u00a0Jon Pardi<\/strong>,\u00a0Kacey Musgraves<\/strong>,\u00a0Kane Brown<\/strong>, and more.<\/p>\n After 20 years together\u00a0Kix Brooks<\/strong>\u00a0&\u00a0Ronnie Dunn<\/strong>\u00a0announced their split in 2009 and they reunited\u00a0in 2015 for shows with\u00a0Reba McEntire<\/strong>\u00a0in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n No release date was mentioned, but\u00a0Reboot<\/em>\u00a0will be their first studio album since 2007\u2019s\u00a0Cowboy Town<\/em>.<\/p>\n FAST FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n Luke Combs duets on \u201cBrand New Man.\u2019<\/p>\n Kane Brown duets on \u201cBelieve.\u201d<\/p>\n Brooks & Dunn\u00a0<\/em>will serve as\u00a0Blake Shelton\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0advisers on the upcoming season of\u00a0The Voice<\/em>\u00a0on\u00a0NBC<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n RILEY GREEN FINDS SOCIAL MEDIA ‘MORE USEFUL THAN A GUITAR’ THESE DAYS –<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n When\u00a0Riley Green<\/strong>\u00a0first started pursuing a music career, social media definitely wasn’t as important to him then as it is now.

And I mean, I can remember my buddy John Worthington, is Sam Hunt\u2019s road manager now, was a good buddy of mine in college and he called me one night and said that he had an opportunity to open for Travis Tritt in Georgia. Sam couldn\u2019t do it and he was gonna throw my name out to \u2018em. What did my social media numbers look like? I was like, \u2018What does that matter?.\u2019 You know he\u2019s like, \u2018Well that\u2019s what they look at now.\u2019\u00a0 And of course I had a few hundred on Facebook or whatever so, didn\u2019t get the gig but that got me mindful of that does have something to do with it. So it wasn\u2019t really a tool to start with, it was just something I had to have. And then it got to be where I could post a video of a song I just wrote and see what the people that were following me around to these shows thought about it. So it is for as a tool is probably more useful than a guitar to me now and it\u2019s crazy that it\u2019s gotten to be like that but it really has.\u201d] 3 OC: .<\/p>\n Riley has 130,000 followers on Instagram alone these days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If You Buy Some of Willie Nelson’s Hemp-Infused Coffee, It’ll Help the Farmers<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If you love coffee, and you have $36 burning a hole in your pocket,\u00a0WILLIE NELSON<\/strong>\u00a0has something you might like.\u00a0 It’s called Willie’s Remedy Coffee, and it’s infused with hemp oil.\u00a0 But, it doesn’t contain any THC, the stuff that gets you high.<\/p>\n What does it taste like?\u00a0 Well, it’s a medium-dark, whole-bean blend that’s sourced from three different Colombian beans.\u00a0 Willie says if you buy some you’ll be helping the farmers.<\/p>\n Quote, “Hemp production in America was stifled for so long, but it could now make all the difference for small independent farmers.”<\/em><\/p>\n The coffee is part of a line of health and wellness products called Willie’s Brand that his wife Annie is overseeing.\u00a0 If you’re ready to buy, hit up\u00a0WilliesRemedy.com<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"February 8th ","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":3801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mornings"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-24 15:22:44","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/mornings\/2019\/02\/on-todays-show-98\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3853"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3853\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3854,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3853\/revisions\/3854"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
