On Sunday, the sun was shining, there was a nice breeze, and I opted to take advantage of the good weather and take a stroll at the River Bend Nature Center.

Here at the KDHL and Power 96 studios, the floor has been shaking all day! The culprit: the road in front of our studios is currently being worked on, and there some heavy duty equipment being used.

"Cold hands and a warm heart" is something my grandmother used to say. I sure hope she was right, because I'm pretty much always cold. In fact, even as the temps have finally broken into the 70's, I've been using a space heater!
