WE HAD A WARM SUNNY MORNING AND THE TEMPERATURE GOT UP TO 62 EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THEN CAME A TORNADO WATCH, STILL IN EFFECT. AND THE
TEMPERATURE IS DROPPING....NOW IN THE 40'S. HAD A COUPLE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NIGHT. SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL BE A BIT COLD THANKSGIVING DAY,
WITH AFTERNOON SUNSHINE AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOW 30'S.

ON THE WEEKEND POLICE BLOTTER: BRITTINI BRONSON REPORTED SATURDAY MORNING THAT A GPS AND FUZZ BUSTER WERE TAKEN FROM HER CAR OVERNIGHT
ON EAST PLATT STREET.
JORDAN PIERCE SAID A CD PLAYER WAS TAKEN FROM HIS CAR SUNDAY WHILE PARKED AT 106 NORTH JONES.
AND, SHERINA PETERSEN SAID YESTERDAY MORNING THAT THE TIRES ON HER
VEHICLE WERE SLASHED OVERNIGHT.

THE JACKSON COUNTY RECOUNT BOARD FINISHED SUNDAY MORNING AND FOUND NO DIFFERENCES IN THE VOTE TOTALS FOR THE STATE SENATE DISTIRCT 13
ELECTION, THAT WAS WON BY TOD BOWMAN OF MAQUOKETA, BY SOME 70 VOTES.
CLINTON COUNTY. IT TOOK 8 HOURS TO DO THE RECOUNT IN JACKSON COUNTY.
CLINTON COUNTY IS FINISHING UP THE RECOUNT TODAY AND DUBUQUE COUNTY WILL FINISH WEDNESDAY. LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN THOSE TWO
COUNTIES ALSO. THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THE RECOUNT FROM ALL 3 COUNTIES
WILL BE ANNOUNCED THIS FRIDAY, OR SOONER OR LATER.

THE TATTOO BUSINESS IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA (EVILUTION TATTOOS & BODY PIERCING) THAT HAS BEEN OPEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS, CLOSED OVER THE WEEKEND AND EVERYTHING WAS MOVED OUT. TOM SIMPSON OWNS THE BUILDING AND
APPARENTLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE CLOSING WAS COMING. TOM HAS STARTED
INSIDE REPAINTING ALREADY AND THE BUILDING IS NOW FOR RENT.
MAQUOKETA HAS NO OTHER TATTOO PLACE. CLINTON AS 3 STORES.
A BIG ONE IN SAVANNA IS LOCATED AT "POOPIES". AND I'M SURE THERE ARE
SEVERAL IN DUBUQUE AND THE QUAD CITIES.

HAD A NICE WEEKEND AT THE THEATRE WITH THE NEW HARRY POTTER MOVIE.
BUT....THE PROFITS WILL QUICKLY GO. THE ICE MACHINE GAVE OUT (AFTER
18 YEARS OF USE) AND A NEW ONE COMES TOMORROW. AND THEY ARE NOT
CHEAP.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK. DON'T EAT TOO MUCH BEFORE THE BIG FEAST THURSDAY.
THEN YOU CAN LET YOURSELF GO.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WE WILL BROADCAST THE 7 P.M. THANKSGIVING-EVE SERVICE "LIVE AND DIRECT" FROM THE FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH ON EAST PLATT STREET
IN MAQUOKETA. IT WILL BE ON BOTH KMAQ AM AND FM AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO IT ALSO ON YOUR COMPUTER OR LAPTOP. JUST GO TO WWW.KMAQ.COM AND CLICK ON THE ON-THE-AIR BUTTON IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER.
MAKE A NOTE NOW TO BE SURE TO LISTEN.
