Hi Folks!
March definitely came in like a lamb this year. The weather on Sunday and Monday was a treat after the wickedy frigid winds we’ve been enduring. Even the snow on Tuesday was lamb-like, all soft, white, fluffy and no wind at all.
For a change, it was a packing snow, so kids were likely having a field day with snowball fights and snowman building.
Didn’t take long to turn really cold again, but there’s hope. Spring will come!
SPRING FORWARD!

From our readers Letter to Editor:
I read with great concern the editorial submitted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and would like to clear up a few misconceptions surrounding right to work in Wisconsin.

This infernal Global Warming just won’t quit bringing frigid temperatures to our part of the world and record snowfalls to the East Coast. Guess we’d rather not trade with Boston. Don’t need to plow cold!
Have been told there is a shortage of snow in parts of Alaska and a shortage of cold in Washington and Oregon. Would love to trade with them. Some folks are blaming that on Global warming, and they claim Global Warming also accounts for our cold and wind, and the record East Coast bli...

From our readers Editor:
When I read the letter from James Lund, it made me do some thinking. I think what he was saying was work hard, save money, plan great things and suddenly you are old and it was all a waste. In essence I agree with him, but then most people have the wrong idea of what life on earth was meant to be. Most plan as if this earth is all there is to life. Too many people arrive at their “golden years” and come to this conclusion, “what was it all about and why was I even born?”
To make matters even worse, some of what we hear f...
