From Wind Chill to Sun Burn

Seems like only Monday that we were freezing in the windy, cool, rainy conditions. On Thursday I saw sun burn on a number of people. Welcome to Minnesota, new comers.

A new season brings new reminders to we who dwell in the Gopher State. Be prepared for the sun! In my case that means wearing a baseball cap when I'm outside as Mother Nature steadily turns the top of my head into a landing strip for mosquitoes. Oh Yeah!? Mosquitoes. Ticks. And gnats. Oh My. None of that on Thursday night, though. Just a perfect night to sit around a backyard fire; prepared expertly by my daughter's boyfriend.

Back to the sun. Would hate to get a sunburn! Check out WebMD for some advice on staying safe in the sun.

Time to think about severe weather possibilities too. Awareness Week was back in April. But who was taking it seriously then? Here is a link to those details.

Have a good Memorial Day Weekend. You can listen to the Memorial Day program at 10:30 from the Four Seasons Centre in Owatonna on AM 1390 KRFO if you can't be there in person.

Today - and everyday - is a good day to THANK a VETERAN!
