YESTERDAY, THE HIGH IN MAQUOKETA WAS 76 AND IT BROKE THE RECORD
OF 72 IN 1995.
TODAY, THE HIGH WAS 79 IN MAQUOKETA AND IT BROKE THE RECORD
OF 71 IN 1935.
TOMORROW, WE EXPECT ANOTHER RECORD-BREAKING HIGH IN THE
UPPER 70'S.
AND 70 PLUS WEATHER IS FORECAST INTO NEXT WEEK.
WE ARE GETTING NEW AIR-CONDITIONING HERE AND IT IS ON ORDER.
NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD NEED ANY THIS EARLY......THE FRONT AND
BACK DOOR IS OPEN AND NOT TOO BAD.
A STEER GOT LOOSE FROM ITS PEN THIS MORNING AT THE NFO LIVESTOCK
LOCATION ON PERSHING ROAD.
IT WAS CHARGING ANYONE WHO CAME NEAR IT.
IT WAS OWNED BY JOE IMMELL AND HE SHOT THE ANIMAL WITH HIS
OWN GUN.
THE COURTROOM AT THE COURT HOUSE WILL BE COMPLETELY RE-DONE DURING TWO WEEKS IN JULY.
NEW CEILING, CARPET, DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION TABLES, SEATS
FOR THE PUBLIC AND IT WILL BE PAINTED OF COURSE.
THE OLD COURTROOM NEEDS A NEW LOOK. I WAS IN IT LAST MONTH ON JURY DUTY.
HAD A PROBLEM YESTERDAY ON THE KMAQ TRIP TO CHICAGO.....FOLLOWING
A COFFEE STOP ON THE WAY, THE BUS WOULDN'T START UP AGAIN.
90 MINUTES LATER...THEY GOT IT GOING AGAIN AND WE WERE ON THE WAY.
SO, WE STAYED AN HOUR LONGER. CHICAGO (AND NAVY PIER) WAS BUSY
BECAUSE OF THE NICE WEATHER. I TRUST EVERYONE, DESPITE THE DELAY,
HAD A GOOD TIME. I THINK THEY DID. FIRST TIME A BUS HAS CAUSED
A DELAY LIKE THAT.
NOW WE KNOW IT CAN HAPPEN.
ENJOY THE WEATHER.
CHECK BACK TOMORROW.
THANKS!
