That

by Monte Walker

Well, today is my wife's birthday, so I guess I'd better say something about it so I can continue eating at night All jokes aside, she's a pretty awesome girl who us boys in the house appreciate very much Happy Birthday Michelle! But no, you still can't have your own column.

Finally, the rain has stopped long enough for the youth baseball and softball leagues to start. Ferguson Field was overhauled and looks brilliant thanks to the efforts of Josh Daniels, Michael Portman, Michael Stephens, Laura Duree and their spouses

If Tom Grieve's "equalization theory" is a true equation, this April could be one of the most devastating tornado seasons in the last 100 years or so. As of March 12, only 27 tornadoes had been documented across the nation. This is the slowest start to the year, tornadowise, since the 21 tornadoes recorded through March 12, 2003 February was eerily quiet, with only two tornadoes reported during the month; one in California, the other in Florida The SPC went 51 straight days without issuing either a tornado or severe thunderstorm watch through February 25 This was the longest such watchless streak since late 1986 If the law of averages balance out for the year, April will be very scary through "Tornado Alley" of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas
