When I was going through basic training for the Air Force I was the only one that didn’t qualify on the firing range. My flight along with our sister flight marched quite a distance to the range during the hot July Sun. I am not making excuses just a bad shot that day. Our assignment was to fire semi-automatic rifles and hit a target 100 yards away. Out of approximately 100 airmen I was the only one that didn’t qualify that day because I was two shots short of the mark. 07/16/2024 01:30 PM

Pest expert predicts 'bug boom' this summer

Pest expert predicts 'bug boom' this summer

Following the recent heatwave, meteorologists across the board are warning of extreme weather in the summer of 2024 across most of the continental USA. While natural events such as heatwaves, storms, floods, and tornadoes are some of the more devastating impacts of extreme weather, an often-overlooked consequence is the increase in bug activity. Although bugs generally don’t cause the same devastating impacts as extreme weather events, they can become a severe annoyance, and getting rid of them can become quite costly for homeowners. 07/09/2024 01:52 PM
