Summer's here this Sunday. So far, we've enjoyed both hotter and cooler weather... here's hoping we ride it out until Fall without too much killer heat and humidity.

Robert Dale Thompson is doing better after surgery last week to repair the crushed vertebrae in his back. You will recall he crashed his three-wheeler last week on Shady Grove Road and had to be taken to UAMS due to the back injuries in addition to a crushed sternum, a broken thumb and several teeth knocked out. When he gets home, he's going to need his friends.
