Helpful Hints

We are coming into Winter after these colorful leaves fall. For those snowy and icy days, we all love (as children) you can spray your car windows with WD-40 and skip scraping. Insect splats on your car grill, spray WD-40 to remove them and respray to help prevent more nasty splats.

Martin Box news

The weather has been very nice, sometimes a little chilly, but nice. The colorful fall leaves are falling fast. A sudden breeze blows, and the leaves fall fast, some dancing across the yard or highway. When our grandson (great) was here last he loved standing under the tree his great great grandfather planted and tried to catch the leaves falling. Gave him some exercise for his hyper body.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the Jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. It has been just a lovely week of Fall Weather this past week. We did get a sneak peek at what the winter has to offer the week before. That cold snap got everyone on the ball about getting ready for winter though. According to the foggy days of August and the persimmon seeds having been looked at the wooly worm report is in and it all points to a snowy winter. We shall have to wait and see if all of these signs are correct. It is expected to rain and bring some cold temperatures. In the meantime, I am experiencing Autumnal bliss.

Doc 10/31/23: Searcy County lost an icon today, and I lost a friend. I don’t think being a friend of Doc Blair is all that unique of a thing. There are almost 8000 of us in this county, and I figure about every one of us would make that claim.
