Description:Ok, Gertrude and Heathcliff are two birds, flying over a beach at Cancun. Gertrude says to Heathcliff, “Seen any tourists?” Heathcliff smiles, “Sure, I spotted one yesterday.” Now, comedy aficionados will no doubt recognize one of the many character "bits" made famous by the clown prince of comedy and Indiana-born Richard Bernard Skelton. What you may not know is how ga-ga his hometown has gone for “Red” Skelton this past year. So, it's off to Vincennes to tour the city that’s wholeheartedly embraced the legacy of one of its native sons -- and that’s got everyone seeing Red.

Carving Your Niche

Description:We’re staying south now, to visit Rocky Point's Blue Heron Vineyard and two men with rocks in their heads -- well, maybe not literally. But if they’ve seen rocks in their dreams, its because, with little experience but lots of enthusiasm, they’ve set out to carve the largest Celtic Cross from a single stone on the planet -- and they’ve got research and testimonial letters from all over the world to prove they’ve done it!

Description:So, where do you draw the line between what seems to be physically possible and impossible? Would you think it would be possible for a man to skydive 400 times in 24 hours? 500 times? How about 600 jumps? Well, that was the mark one Greensburg man was looking to hit, until on jump 599, something a little strange happened.

Porch Talk with Danville's Phillip Gulley

Watch This Segment Online.
Description:Rowdy frogs may fill the pond next to Philip Gulley’s porch in this edition of Porch Talk, but the site and sound of the water brings memories sweet and bitter. A backyard pond was the background for Phillip’s childhood, and he recalls how life’s twists and turns seem to resemble the water’s changes.
