This reminds me of the song "Red Neck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson...she leaves her Christmas lights up on her front porch all year long...and she knows all the words to every Charlie Daniels, Tanya Tucker, and Ol' Bocephus (Hank Williams, Jr.) song.

The air quality hasn't been as bad down in the MidSouth, Arklatex, and Arklamiss. We've had moderate levels, with a few unhealthy levels prompting Ozone Action Advisories, but nothing more. For once, this morning showed a GREEN (good) level at observation, plus that's what's forecast through at least Wednesday. BM> When "Thomas the Train" was on PBS Kids?! Not quite.
