Someday people around her will learn how to drive when a snowstorm hits. Sunday we got another five inches or more of fluffy light stuff. Well there were a lot of roads out and around that still had some ice and snow from the last snow. But people still were sliding off the roads into ditches and medians. The key is to just slow down. You don't have to get anywhere that is that important that you'll slide into a ditch - guess what? you'll even be later!

Sunday was the annual Dodgeville Lions Club's FREE Community Breakfast at the Dodger Bowl. Even with snow falling since before 4 a.m. we served over 200 people. Kudos to everyone who braved the elements and came out for a good cause - all donations are going to the Dodger Food Locker!

The breakfast Sunday went until noon and then at 1:00 I ventured a few feet to the west at the Dodger Bowl into the bowling alley to help with the 2nd Annual Bowl With The Dodgers event that is sponsored by the Dodgeville Chamber of Commerce. The grade school kids got a chance to bowl with high school seniors who represented a lot of the sports and clubs at Dodgeville High School (see above photo). I really think the high schoolers had as much fun as the youngsters. They gave a lot of bowling lessons to the young kids. Everyone had pizza and drinks too! This a real good "feel good" event by the chamber.

Congratulations to the Mineral Point girls basketball team as they won two games last week and clinched the 2019 SWAL championship. They now have a bye in tournament play for this past Tuesday night. The other area teams all played and hopefully won and advanced to more play this Friday night. Good luck to all teams!

I'm really getting tired of shoveling snow - how about you?
