Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

It correlates closely with the big uptick in rat numbers due to 3 very wet years. Not the case this year, lot of dry ditches, sloughs and lower water all around our area. Bryce
