Fire on Tupelo
Today there was a house fire on Tupelo but thankfully everyone is okay.  A tree fell on the power lines apparently starting a fire at the electric box.  It is my understanding that some neighbors called it in and made sure the resident made it out okay.
Dogs roaming free
We have now twice this week seen a black lab(s) wandering the neighborhood.  I jumped in my car once to try to track him/her down but didn’t have any luck.  If anyone knows who the owner is please let me …
