No Poo!

Just another sign from Springdale. I blew by it at 30mph and had to back-up and look at it again. The funny thing to me is this sign is right near the sewer plant so the whole area kinda smells like poo regardless of whether the dog has crapped in your yard or not.

Floaters!

Sunday we floated the Buffalo River from Ponca to Kyle’s landing. This was the first float of my season and it was beautiful. We had planned for a really big group, 26 total, but by the time Sunday morning rolled around we only had 15. The group included my parents and their friends from Little Rock and my cousin Matt from Boca Raton Florida.


Matt said this was his first canoe trip and there will be many more in his future. I hope he is right.


Here are a few more pix






Enjoy!

Almost Famous!

We had some pretty bad storms in Northwest Arkansas last night. This morning I went to a mobile home park in Siloam Springs where a 15-year-old girl was killed when a tree fell on her bed. When I got back to work I was asked to put a photo on the AP wire.


I didn't think much about it when I put it up but the picture was picked-up by most of the national news outlets, including...

USA Today


CNN


FOX News


MSNBC


and AOL



Of course, being the company man that I am I saved the best photos for the Morning News



I am glad my photo traveled around the country and the world but part of me wishes it was a picture of a Razorback game or a victory party or just some pretty photo of kids doing something fun and not a photo of the worst day of a families life.
