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.

To The Eagle: Consider this list of words that accurately describe our nation's bank operated money-created -as-debt system--fraud, hoax, swindle, deception, theft, legalized ongoing criminal enterprise, unstable, racket, scam, robbery and looting.
