Ready to Retire? Prepare Yourself With These Retirement Tips
There are some who believe they are ready to retire just to find out that there's no way they can do it financially. It's not an easy thing to do; being financially and emotionally prepared for a fixed income that's significantly less than what a person is used to living on.

LST Board of Directors Wants Better Location for Ship Dock [Poll]
The USS LST Ship Memorial's board of directors appears ready to take the ship elsewhere unless the City of Evansville can provide a more accessible dock (there have been some grumblings about the poor accessibility at Marina Pointe).

Earth Day, Bears and Jelly Beans – April 22

Although I haven’t had a reason to use the WeTip hotline number (1-800-78-CRIME), many Vanderburgh County residents have, which is proof that there is a need in the Evansville community for this anonymous tip line. It’s satisfying to see that WeTip has greatly helped the Evansville Police Department catch people involved in criminal activities.
A Tick on the Dog is Worth an Eye on the Bod – Tick Season is On!
I was completely taken off guard when, after a morning romp around the yard and a doggy bath in the laundry tub, I found a tick on Sniffer’s belly. But you see, this didn’t happen this past weekend, it was a couple of weekends ago before I had even mowed the yard for the first time.
