NOT SO NICE--Wouldn't you know, the sun is shining as this work week begins but it sure would have been nice to have sun during the Bald Eagle Day festivities!

They say we're in for a so-so week with nicer, more summer-like temperatures come Sunday--we'll see! NOT OUR HEIDI--You may have heard that a Heidi Lynn Knowles was...

To The Eagle: In 2007 President George Bush signed the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA). This bipartisan bill simply requires that new light bulbs use 25 to 30 percent less energy than traditional incandescent light bulbs. No light bulbs are banned. No one will be forced to use one type of light bulb over another type. Michelle Schaefer of Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports states: "Rather, they set benchmarks that are technology-neutral, and manufacturers have already developed more efficient incandescent...

GORGEOUS--The weekend was great after rain fell last week; not a welcome sight to those who had hay down, but luckily the sun returned and dried the hay, so tractors were tedding and got the hay in wind-rows and then the pounding of the balers and bale wagons made for some long, long days, but some great hay!
