DAMP BEGINNING--As the week began Sunday morning, we had some light rainfall which was most welcomed by all those who received it. When it falls real lightly after a long, dry spell, it's really good as it gets a chance to soak in and not just run off and do little to help the parched lawns and surrounding fields, so it was just perfect. However, as the work week began, we saw sunshine return and the chance for more warm days, so it looks like we'll be closing out August with some decent weather and begin September with the same. SPECIAL...

SMOKY START--As this week began, it was a pretty smoky Sunday morning, and forecasters say that we'll have more of that until mid-week. When it's smoky, it's a good idea to limit our time outside and if we have to be out there, then buy a really good mask that can filter out the fine particles that can cause lung damage. I guess we can all hope and pray that these wild fires come to an end soon so we can all breathe a little easier and our brave, over-worked fire crews can catch a break as well. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from...
