HOT AND HUMID TODAY....94
THE REST OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND WILL BE IN THE 80'S AND NO RAIN.

GOT GAS AT BOWMAN STANDARD TODAY AND TALKED TO HUGH BOWMAN.
HUGH HUNG IT UP! HE HUNG UP THE GAS NOZZLE FOR THE LAST TIME
YESTERDAY. HIS SON BILL, WAS 50% OWNER AND HUGH SOLD THE OTHER HALF OF THE BUSINESS TO BILL. AND SO...HUGH IS NOW OFFICIALLY
RETIRED. HE HAS BEEN PUMPING GAS 52 YEARS. LIKES TO PLAY
CARDS, SO WILL BE DOING MORE OF THAT.
BY THE WAY, GAS IN MAQUOKETA TODAY WAS AT 3.42.9 A GALLON.

THE MAQUOKETA CITY COUNCIL HAS STARTED CONDEMNATION PROCEEDSINGS
FOR LAND NEAR THE AIRPORT TO BE USED TO ALTER 134TH AVENUE SO
THE RUNWAY CAN BE EXTENDED. THE CITY HAS MADE AN OFFER TO THE
OWNERS OF THE LAND, ALLEN AND CAROLYN OLTMANNS, AND THAT OFFER WAS REJECTED. THE AMOUNT OF OFFER HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED.
