Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Oh my to say it has been hot this week is an understatement. The temperature was as high as 102 on my front porch. There has been no rain in sight, this puts me in mind of a play by N. Richard Nash called “The Rainmaker”. Where a town is so desperate for rain they hire a rainmaker, who of course is a conman taking them for all their money. I don’t think we are that desperate yet and I don’t think it is in the city budget to hire a rainmaker at this point, but I shall keep you all posted.
