WILLIAMS—No. We are not talking about staged Democratic or Republican rallies or politicians in town seeking re-election.

We’re talking about the real chemical warfare experts.

With the pleasant springtime weather we have enjoyed so far this winter, skunks are apparently coming out to dig into the trash cans in the evenings for food.

Unfortunately the long-range forecast shows not even a hint of rain, much less snow. The forecast shows sunny and dry through next Saturday. While this could change over time, recent history does not bear out that possibility.

Another problem is the snow that we have had is nearly gone and the ground is drying up. This leaves us open to the possibility of a catastrophic fire during what should be a safe season.
