I was at Walmart the other day, and when I looked at the floor, I realized I had gone down the aisle the wrong direction. The floor has directions on which way to go around the store with Do Not Enter at one end. The only good thing is that I will not be alone in Walmart jail, because lots of people were going the wrong way. Also the six foot rule is hard to do because there are no passing zones and I am pretty slow. Much like on the highway there was a traffic jam behind me. Lots of masks being...

BELLE PLAINE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas law enforcement agencies seized more than $3.35 million in property during a six-month period last year, disproportionately from young black and Hispanic male drivers. Counties reporting significant currency seizures are located along Interstate 70 or Interstate 35 and have officers assigned to look for drugs. The overwhelming amount of currency seized was uncontested in forfeiture actions. Those are some of the first findings stemming from a Kansas law that took effect July 1 and requiring that law e...
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas will open its campuses for in-person classes in the fall after the shutdown caused by the coronavirus.

ATLANTA (AP) — As more states begin to relax their coronavirus lockdowns, most are falling short of the minimum levels of testing suggested by the federal government and recommended by a variety of public health researchers, an Associated Press analysis has found. Three months into an unprecedented public health emergency, the White House has largely resisted calls for a coordinated plan to conduct the millions of tests experts say are needed to contain the virus. What federal officials outlined recently isn't even an official benchmark, and A...

Conner Brown, a 25-year-old law student at Stanford University, spent the early days of the pandemic following his brother as he spotted and collected characters in the Pokemon Go mobile game. Then, Brown noticed the birds. "I thought, 'Why don't I take up birding?' It's like real-life Pokemon Go. It's super addicting because you can start logging them and you get a little collection. It's really cool," Brown said. He paused, then added, "They should really game-ify it." Brown, who's living near Annapolis, Maryland, can now identify 30...
DURANT, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter refiled lawsuits Friday against three opioid distributors in one of the state's counties hit hardest by the opioid epidemic.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Democrats hope vote counting from Saturday's party-run presidential primary goes smoothly to show that the state can rely far more heavily on mail ballots later this year. Top Democrats anticipate former Vice President Joe Biden will prevail in Kansas' voting and capture a majority of national convention delegates, given that other candidates, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, have suspended their campaigns and endorsed him. Voting began in late March, with Sanders on the ballot, along with Massachusetts Sen. E...
