MONDAY DAILY REPORT

SUNDAY WAS VERY WINDY AND HOT...GOT UP TO THE MID 70'S.
TODAY, CLOUDY AND COOL...IN 40'S.
RAIN IN FORCAST THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
TOMORROW NIGHT, WE COULD GET NEARLY AN INCH.

BUSY WEEKEND IN MAQUOKETA.     THE IKE'S FISH FRY SATURDAY...THE MUSIC SHOW AT OHNWARD (NEARLY A FULL HOUSE SATURDAY NIGHT)...
THE BOY SCOUT BREAKFAST AT THE FAIRGROUNDS...AND LAST NIGHT, A
BIG TURNOUT AT CODFISH HOLLOW BARNSTORMERS CONCERT.      AND
LOTS OF PEOPLE ALSO CAME TO SEE THE MIRACLE MOVIE AT THE
THEATRE.

TODAY, THEY ARE BREAKING UP CONCRETE IN FRONT OF KMAQ.    THE
DRIVE-UP DROP-BOX FOR MAIL HAS BEEN MOVED.
THERE IT IS!   TO GET TO IT, COME UP JAMES STREET FROM WEST OF THE DECKER, TURN LEFT AT THE BRAD DEERY DUMPSTER, GO NORTH A SHORT WAY, THEN MAKE A  U-TURN AND HEAD SOUTH UP TO THE DROP BOX.    THEN
GO SOUTH TO THE DECKER, TURN RIGHT ON JAMES  AND YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR MISSION.   YES, JAMES STREET IS NOW A TWO-WAY STREET FOR THIS TO WORK.      OR..GO TO McDONALD'S PARKING LOT....
AND DRIVE-UP TO THE DROP BOX THERE.   BUT, MAIL BEFORE 11:00 A.M.

FOR OVER 50 YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A "LAZY J MOTEL" SIGN ON WEST
PLATT STREET.    IT IS GONE, AND BEFORE I COULD GET  A  FINAL PHOTO.
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MOTEL THERE FOR YEARS,  BUT THE SIGN
REMAINED.    THE RIGHT WING OF THE MOTEL IS BEING TORN DOWN.
THE MIDDLE PART AND LEFT WING IS BEING REMODELED FOR I BELIEVE
OFFICES.    ONE OF THE OFFICES WILL BE THE LOCATION FOR A NEW REALTY
OFFICE, I'VE BEEN TOLD.    I'LL DO SOME CHECKING.

TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY IN MAQUOKETA FOR THE BOND ISSUE TO REMODEL THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.    VOTING WILL GO ON FROM 7 A.M.
UNTIL 8 P.M. AT THE COURT HOUSE.   
 
THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS ARE O AND 1.   NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
CARDINAL FANS.    THEY ARE OFF TODAY AND PLAY AGAIN AT PITTSBURG
TOMORROW NIGHT AND THE GAME OF COURSE WILL BE ON KMAQ-FM.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT WITH A LONG AGENDA.

ONE MORE PHOTO....MAIN STREET LOOKING THROUGH KMAQ'S FRONT
WINDOW....

REMEMBER, THERE IS PARKING BEHIND KMAQ AND KMAQ HAS A BACK
DOOR.     AND FOR AWHILE, THE KMAQ SIDEWALK IS STILL THERE AND
THE FRONT DOOR IS NOT LOCKED.

ON KMAQ'S HOME PAGE, THERE IS OUR KMAQ WEB CAM OVERLOOKING A  PORTION OF MAIN STREET.    CHECK IT OUT.    IT CHANGES ABOUT EVERY 30 SECONDS, BUT YOU CAN CHANGE IT QUICKER YOURSELF BY STRIKING
5 ON YOUR KEYBOARD.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
