Ty's Take

Road work on Highway K is going to slow some folks down over the next stretch, but anybody who's driven these county roads knows the pavement out here takes a beating from the weather and the weight of cattle trucks heading to market. The state patrol's report on that deer accident reminds you why caution matters on these curves, especially this time of year when the animals are moving. Out in the community, there's good news on the animal welfare front with those spay and neuter grants coming through, and meanwhile our hospice nurse over at TCMH is doing the kind of quiet work that doesn't make headlines until you really think about what it means to sit with families at the hardest moment. That's the week that's in it.
