Craighead County residents have recently reported receiving calls from a scammer falsely identifying himself as a law enforcement officer. To make this ruse even more believable, the caller ID spoofs the sheriff department’s phone number, so it looks like the call is coming from the authorities. The caller demands their victim pays over the phone with a prepaid gift card to avoid arrest.
I hope everyone is doing ok. The weather is a little cool, but I guess we will see cooler weather before the winter is over.
There’s no place like home . .
Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. We have had such beautiful Deep Fall weather this past week. We have had some overcast days, but we have also had some glorious days of sunshine. The kind of sunshine that bursts through the clouds and it looks like the gates of heaven have opened up and shining down on the Earth. We have had a few of those days this week. Days that start off very cold, overcast and frosty end up having the sun burst through the clouds and warm everything. You can tell that we are on the way to winter weather the days are so short and the temperatures are getting colder and we are expecting a cold, wet winter. So say the wooly worms, persimmon seeds and foggy days of August, and the weather man.
Hope that you had a good week. Larry brought some more wood to the house. It was cold on the mountain and really windy. The truck that Larry uses to get the wood the tie- rod end came down. He had to get it fixed so he can use it again.
I feel like my Snowball time has been limited lately and the next couple weeks are not looking any better! Whitley has taken up archery this year and it’s time consuming! She has practice twice a week, then last weekend Valley Springs hosted an archery tournament. We luckily only had to show up in time for her flight, but I bet they hosted over 500 competitors throughout the day!
