LOOKING GOOD As this week begins, we started out with a very sunny Sunday morning and with temps in the low 80s, it s just what the hay makers wanted to see. The forecast is looking dry with maybe a few days with a bit of cloudiness and temperatures in the low 70s, so that s sounding perfect to me.
FIRE DANGER It s still very important to be wary of anything that could cause a spark which could start a fire. As we have seen, there are thousands of acres in our Pacific NW area that are currently burning out of control and we really don t want to have anything like that happen here in our county. If you re towing a trailer, it s best to double check those safety chains so they aren t striking/dragging along the pavement, as recently, several fires along the freeway were caused because of that very thing happening. Here s to being mindful of the dangers of fire, and may we all take extra precautions during this super dry time.

Frank Webb
Whenever there is mention of early African American authors, invariably, Frank Webb is among them, but little else is said about him other than mention of his novel “The Garies and Their Friends.” Published in 1857, it is considered the second African American novel and the first to provide a realistic portrait of free Blacks in the North.
Born Francis Johnson Webb March 21, 1828 in Philadelphia, Frank was the fifth and youngest child of Francis Webb and Louisa Burr Webb. His maternal grandfather, a fact confirmed via DNA in 2018, was former Vice President Aaron Burr, who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Frank’s early years were distinguished too as a family member who in 1824 left the U.S. and returned two years later, after a failed migration experiment to Haiti.
