Thoughts for the day

It is much cooler today than yesterday. The weather guy says there may be a little snow in the next few days. Just another Fake Spring the last few days.

It is windy again today…thankfully I live in an area with no sand in the wind.

Flag has had a radio news guy for the past 9 or so years. I first heard him when he was following a big fire. He also did live reports where he uploaded video to the internet on snowfall, fires, big accidents, and much more. He broadcast on the radio for all the high school sports games. He also did a morning summary on the news of Flagstaff that I listened to almost daily of the work week. The best local coverage I have seen for our town. Then Sunday he was caught in a sting operation, along with 21 others on soliciting children for sex. His bond is $100,000. It is quite a shock to his broadcast listeners.
