We had a nice day yesterday at the lake. Today’s weather will be sunny with a high near 73 and tonight will be clear with a low around 56.
It’s been nice to see some pleasure and fishing boats out on the lake the past few days in between the rainy periods. We expect a nice flotilla this weekend!

Here’s a nice video on the Civic Club from one of our wDCT.live! field reporters. Since the reporter was my wife, Jean, I should disclose that and also say that the Civic Club does some really great things for the community and is a great way to meet with and “hang-out” with some neat ladies. I hope I get some brownie points for this.
