Rain Likely Thursday Night, Friday

By Chris Sorensen

The hope for moisture may be rewarded this week after several days of unseasonably-warm temperatures, though some uncertainty remains.

Wednesday will see a high in the upper 60s, with fire danger just below alerting levels and wind out of the south at ten to 20 miles-per-hour. The temperature will drop to the low 40s overnight, and winds could gust at high as 30 mph before decreasing after midnight.

Spring break is over and now we're back to school for about 8 weeks and it will all be over for another year.  Can't believe how fast this year has gone by.

Dick and I and my sister, Jerene DeBono went to Dodge City on Saturday.  We did a little gambling and then met our son Mark, to get our grandson Kyle, who had been with his folks over Spring break.  Our granddaughter Breeanna, who is on Spring break this week, decided to come home with us.  We'll meet her dad next weekend so she can return home.  The house is no longer quiet!

Pushed to the Brink: How Suicide is Taking Our Heroes

(BPT) - The Purple Heart Foundation recognizes that suicide among U.S. veterans is taking place at an alarming rate. Twenty-two veterans commit suicide every single day, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. These twenty-two heroes fought to protect the American homeland. These twenty-two heroes volunteered for a life away from home and from their loved ones. These twenty-two heroes, who returned home, were failed by a riddled system and did not get proper treatment. Now, suicide becomes a means of dealing with or an attempt to control the pain.

There’s something so satisfying about getting out of bed when the world is still dark and quiet and resting. Making the coffee gives us time to scratch and think. Well, scratch, anyway. Most of that thinking will start after about the third cup of coffee.
