Town Talk II
Not much weather to report this week except I can vouch that it was freezing cold at the Chieftain football game Friday night. Temps overnight Friday dropped to 26 here. I wore big coat, two shirts, gloves and still had frozen feet and hands by halftime so I bailed and went home to thaw out. Not as tough as I once was. We had beautiful weather Tuesday and Wednesday but more cold headed our way next week.

Elsa Galaviz, who works for Allan Haile at State Farm, had her Tahoe stolen from the mall parking lot in Amarillo over the weekend. In Friona, Allan says he had a trailer stolen recently, Tracy Bunker had a trailer stolen, and Jayson Grimsley had an air compressor stolen out of his pickup. There are theories about the local thefts but no arrests or suspects. It is a damn shame and a big inconvenience to all parties. (more...)
