Vectren, in an attempt to help lower peoples electric bills and save on resources, has inacted the Vectren Summer Cycler Program.  The short explanation is that Vectren will remotely shut off your air conditioning unit during peak times, to conserve energy.  Although just recently the program has failed, due to demand, below is an explanation of the program to help you decide if it's right for you. The Perks First off and probably most important, the program is designed to save you money every month.  Not only will you receive a discount from Vectren for enrolling, you will also save money from the...

I first noticed one of the residents of Evansville on Twitter asking why Evansville stunk.  Figured it had something to do with his specific location.  Unfortunately as soon as I walked outside I smelled what seemed like a pile of rotting wet rags. Since then there have been 2 others mention the stench that seems to be moving all over the city.  Of course there hasn't been an official response or comment in the media, Hoyt of Channel 14 WFIE made an observation. Likely farming. We did a story out of Gibson Co. about using turkey litter which has strong smell when it gets wet and warmer. So, if you...

Spent my lunch break walking around Garvin Park yesterday.  I'll head over there on a regular basis to eat my lunch in peace in my truck, but yesterday I wanted to get some video of the ducks and geese walking on ice.  I also shot some footage of kids that instructed me that they were the only ones that fed the hungry animals, so it was their job to take care of them. Without question, I know the cold animals appreciated the fresh bread. I hope that I can film more events and locations in Evansville, as time allows. If you have any recommendations or things you would like to see, please let me...

The snow that dropped on us last night was not nearly wet enough to create a snow ball or a snow man for that matter.  But it does look pretty and hasn't created terrible conditions, as far as I can tell. I did enjoy the fact that I only had to brush the snow off my windows this morning, instead of scraping and chipping at 1" of ice like last January.  That's right, remember the January 09 snow storm?  This wasn't a storm, this was a light dusting of sprinkly goodness. Hard to believe that the storm moving through last night was supposed to surpass the nastiness we had in December of 04, at least...

Well, we were promised a white Christmas, but we who travel dodged that bullet.  However, it looks like tonight will be the first snow of the year.  Evansville has been under a Winter advisory all day, which will last until 6:00 pm tomorrow, when we will finish up our 3"-5" of snow.  I hope they are right, if it's gonna be cold, at least add some snow so it looks pretty too. For those looking to make snowmen, I wouldn't get your hopes up, but snow angels should be possible.  According to our local meteorologists it will amount to white dust, which will most likely be blowing in my eyes tomorrow on...
