Sunday will be the warmest day of the week before daytime temperatures drop back to mainly 50s.

A high in the upper 60s under mostly sunny skies is expected Sunday, with overnight lows around the freezing mark.

Monday will start off mostly cloudy with a high in the low 60s as a broad upper trough moves in from the west coast. Overnight rain is possible before 4:00 a.m., becoming a rain-snow mix.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus — and the U.S. Postal Service can help you prove it when Santa replies to your child’s letter — complete with a North Pole postmark.

Here are the steps for your child to get a letter back from Santa:

1.    Have your child write a letter to Santa and place it in an envelope addressed to: Santa Claus, North Pole.

2.     Later, when alone, open the envelope and write a personalized response.

The morning conference began innocently enough, with Steve and Doc arguing over which of the little packaged jellies went better on sourdough toast, and no one caring which one was right.

Dud and Bert and I sat silently, sucking down the morning elixir until it spread life to our outermost reaches as the Mule Barn truck stop’s world dilemma think tank crept to life. Bert was unusually quiet this morning and we asked why. He hemmed and hawed a little, then said, “Doc, you know about these things. What exactly is female trouble?”

• Linly Stum of Towner gave a slide presentation to the Eads Middle & High School on his trip to Russia.

• Wild Horse Roundup Curtis Schrimp: I went out at 3:45am & saw a few meteors, what I saw wouldn’t call a shower as they were a good distance apart. What fascinated me was the entire sky, as it was clear and the stars looked big and close.

One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.
