TOMORROW.

YES....I KNOW WE ARE ALL SORRY ABOUT THE CARDINALS.     EXCUSE ME WHILE
I WIPE ANOTHER TEAR.
BUT...NEVER FORGET, THEY WERE WORLD CHAMPIONS IN 2006.     I WAS AT THE
GAME SATURDAY NIGHT AND WAIVED THE FREE TOWEL THEY GAVE EVERYONE.

NEXT YEAR!

HEARD AT COFFEE THIS MORNING THAT THE BILLY DEAN COUNTRY SHOW
SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE OHNWARD FINE ARTS CENTER  WAS GOOD AND THAT
ATTENDANCE WAS OK.        ALSO THAT HE MAY COME BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR
WITH HIS BAND.     THE LONGTIME COUNTRY MUSIC STAR IS MARRIED TO THE
FORMER STEPHANY PAISLEY OF MAQUOKETA-ANDREW AREA.    ADAM BECK
OPENED THE SHOW AND WAS WELL RECEIVED TOO.   HE NOW LIVES IN
DUBUQUE.     PARENTS ARE DENNIS AND MARY OF RURAL MAQUOKETA.

NOTHING NEW ON THE REMOVAL OF THE DOWNTOWN FIRE DEBRIS.
I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAPPEN BEFORE ELECTION DAY, BUT TIME IS GETTING
SHORT FOR THAT.      THE 2ND ANNIVERSARY IS JANUARY 19, 2010.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
