Today’s Thoughts

 Another Great Spring Day!

An adult male black bear attacked and killed a 65-year-old Prescott man on his porch. The attack was seemingly unprovoked. The bear was killed by officers.

Interesting…The No Labels Party wants to run a mixed ticket in 20245, one Democrat, one Republican. I think we’ve tried 3rd party before, this time it sounds different. I’ll wait and see if this continues to play out.

Enjoy
