Okay, raise your hand if you had possible tornado on your 2023 "Weather" Bingo card! I can't even begin to think of...
We did it, folks. We survived last week's heat wave! It was a scorcher, but we pushed through. We went from hot (just working outside) to hotter (working in the hoophouses) to "oh my god, it's an inferno" (working in the...
