She replied, “That’s an everyday occurrence in Stockton, Guess she’s not running for anything. -Saw this T-Shirt on the internet: Not fragile

Kimball noticed Dad’s tell tale sign it was time to go back to school at the end of summer – golden rods are blooming. Looks like that didn’t get called off for virus concerns. – We were getting ready to go to the Clever/Bulldog game Friday evening when Kimball got the call. Clever is under

Now is not a good time to get arrested in Cedar County. They have seven confirmed cases of Covid 19 including the sheriff and a staffer.
