Hi Everybody, Have you noticed in the Phoenix area it seems the weather report only needs about three-minutes as weather seldom changes?&nbsp; Not in the upper midwest however.&nbsp; We have some snow, snow melting, then ice and from there who knows; so the weather report takes a while and usually has substance.<\/li><li>That we have periods of snow and ice, please do the best you can keeping your sidewalks clean and safe for your mailmen and other delivery folks.&nbsp; Thank you<\/li><li>Friday there was a nice reception at the City County Health Department (CCHD) for Theresa Will.&nbsp; A number of people shared memories commemorating her many years of \u201ctop notch\u201d leadership at CCHD.&nbsp; Thank you Theresa.<\/li><li>Recently there have been a number of tragic occurrences involving problematic mental health.&nbsp; If you find yourself feeling stressed, \u201cbummed\u201d or struggling with addictive cravings, get help.&nbsp; I am recovering and I assure you, help is readily available and it works.&nbsp; Please get help.<\/li><li>Christmas is a joyous time of the year and will be celebrated by many this weekend.&nbsp; There will be church services, family gatherings, food and gifts.&nbsp; Please take a little time to pray for those less fortunate and for those who are being besieged by war.&nbsp; Thank you.<\/li><li>From Essentia Health regarding safety in youth sports, \u201cThe total hours of&nbsp; organized sports should be less or equal to a child\u2019s age in years\u201d.<\/li><li>The number of people displaying holiday lighting at their homes seems to be continually increasing.&nbsp; The decorations are beautiful and \u201csoothing\u201d.&nbsp;
