  This Year’s Theme: 

WADDINGTON - WHERE THE WORLD COMES TO FISH 

Stormy Weather

This summer has been very unusual in the weather department. This spring was very chilly. There were even a couple nights that were down near the freezing temperatures. No one thought it would ever warm up. This past two weeks have been very hot and humid; the humidity reminding me of Texas when I was growing up. Everyone gets thunderstorms from time to time but this year they seem to be more intense. We have had a couple power outages this year. One was quite lenghthy.

Happy 4th of July!!

Just wanted to wish you all a Happy 4th of July! Those of you traveling will probably make it a 4 day weekend; be safe out there folks.
