The first bit of good news is that it has warmed up just a bit and some of the places hit the hardest with winter storms this week are getting a reprieve. It’s a balmy forty degrees here, and I am so glad I did not have to haul buckets of hot water to melt

Please help me welcome Slim Randles as Wednesday’s Guest this week. I laughed when I read this story from the Mule Barn truck stop. Dud’s decision to switch from writing reminded me of the college professor who suggested I take up basket weaving as a creative outlet and forget about being a writer. He was
