Mark 9: 43-44 “And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” Matthew 13: 42 “And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

I got my personal property bill for this year. It’s up again. Another $300 of everyone’s taxes goes up like mine. Our country is getting rich. No need for all the potholes.

I have some bad qualities, one I speak my mind when a lot of the time I should keep my mouth shut and two I like to tease people and a lot of the time the teasee takes it the wrong way. I can say things to people and not crack a smile. This causes me a lot of trouble and I would rather bite my tongue than to apologize. Why am I telling you this? I have no idea.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Wow what a turnaround the weather has been. It was very cold last week with single digit temperatures and this week has been just lovely, with warm sunny days and temperatures in the upper 70’s. So Spring is springing a little bit but actual astronomical Spring is not until March 20th this year. So there is still plenty of time for more Winter weather. A cold snap could happen at any minute as a friend once said the last Ice Age started with a cold day.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the Jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Oh my what very cold and snowy weather we have had this past week. We have had some snow but really the very cold negative temperatures. Bone chilling dangerously cold. Although we have had much colder temperatures in the past. Cold like -17 for days on end. This time of Winter the cold seems to seep into your bones as it has been so cold for so long and the negative temperatures just make it worse. I can, however, take the cold of winter much better than the unrelenting heat of summer. We are supposed to warm up by the weekend. I am hoping that this is the last big hurrah for snow and cold weather. Spring is still a month away but I am holding out hope for an early warm Spring.

The fire department was called out late Monday night to a house fire in St. Joe. But it was too late to save the House on Rainbow Hill. It is believed the fire was a result of the hot water heater being turned up too high. The house was a total loss.

Most of us have dogs that are pets or working dogs. Dogs were a vital part of life for early American pioneers and settlers. The American Cuir is considered the quintessential pioneer dog. They were working animals as well as pets; from guard in homes, to assisting in hunts.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the Jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Oh my what odd weather we have had this past week from very frigid cold to 80 degrees in February. Like I have often said that here in the Ozarks, we get the weather sampler, no matter what time of year it is. So we have had cold and snow and torrential rainfall, and very high springlike temperatures now we are going back to our regularly scheduled Winter of more cold and snow. If you are not happy with the weather here in the Ozarks, you should hang around a few minutes and it will change.
