COLD....COLD....AND MORE COLD WEATHER.
SUNSHINE THOUGH TODAY. AND WARM WEATHER COMING THIS WEEKEND...LIKE AROUND 40 OR ABOVE.

THIS IS CAUCUS DAY TODAY IN IOWA. IOWA WILL BE QUIET AND PEACEFUL STARTING TOMORROW.
I'LL HAVE THE MAQUOKETA AND JACKSON COUNTY RESULTS TOMORROW. CLOSE RACES SHOULD MAKE IT AN INTERESTING NIGHT.

A FIRST FOR KMAQ TODAY. WE GOT WORD THIS MORNING THAT FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON WOULD CALL KMAQ THIS AFTERNOON IF WE WANTED HIM TO. TO TALK ABOUT CAUCUS NIGHT OF COURSE AND HIS WIFE, SENATOR HILIARY.
WE SAID YES. SHERI MELVOLD, KMAQ NEWS DIRECTOR GOT THE CALL AND SO SHE ... HOST OF KMAQ'S JUST TALK INTERVIEW SHOW ...MADE PLANS FOR THE INTERVIEW. IT WENT ON THE AIR "LIVE" JUST BEFORE 4 THIS AFTERNOON
AND THE INTERVIEW WENT WELL, AND LASTED UNTIL ABOUT FIVE AFTER 4. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND 5 MINUTES, BUT HE WAS ON KMAQ A LITTLE LONGER THAN THAT. SHERI DID A GOOD JOB AND SO DID THE PRESIDENT. NEAR THE CLOSE, SHERI ASKED IF HE HAS SEEN HIS WIFE LATELY. THEY HAVE GONE SEPARATE WAYS WHENEVER HE HELPED WITH HER CAMPAIGN IN IOWA. ANYWAY, HE SAID HE HAD LUNCH WITH HER TODAY. HE SAID HE ENJOYED VISITING THE MANY SMALL COMMUNITIES IN IOWA. KMAQ WILL HAVE COVERAGE ON THE EVENT TONIGHT WITH RADIO IOWA REPORTS EVERY HALF HOUR AND OF COURSE, TV COVERAGE WILL BE EXTENSIVE.
BIG DAY TODAY FOR THE HAWKEYE STATE.
NOW..I HAVE ONE MORE TAPE CASSETTE TO PUT INTO MY LIBRARY OF TAPED INTERVIEWS MADE OVER THE YEARS HERE
AT THE STATION.

LOTS OF ACCIDENTS, NONE REAL SERIOUS, OVER THE WEEKEND BECAUSE OF THE ROADS.

I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AT DAVENPORT LATE NEW YEAR'S EVE
AND NEW YEAR'S DAY AND CAME HOME YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. "TRANSIENT GLOBAL AMNESIA" WAS MY PROBLEM. YOU CAN "GOOGLE IT" AND READ MUCH ABOUT IT. IN SHORT....I HAD AMNESIA FOR OVER 6 HOURS. SCARY. NOT REAL COMMON. BACK AT WORK TODAY AND FEELING PRETTY GOOD. AN M-R-I TEST STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE, MONDAY.
WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT COMES OUT. ANYONE ELSE
HAD THIS HAPPEN?

GOTTA GO..THANKS FOR THE VISIT.
