Hey folks bundle up tonight. Weather people say it is going to -5 and the winds are going to be blowing too. Please make sure you care for your animals. Feed and water them more often in this weather. Shelter is so important too. I always made a gravy, bread and dog food casserole for my dogs when it was so very cold out. Heat up everything and take it out to him. One in the morning and one at night.
Keep you car out of the wind. This helps so much so your car will start in the morning. If you have a garage now is the time you wished you would have cleaned it out this fall so you could have put it in there now. Let the car warm up when you go out and start it up in the morning. The fluids need to get going just like you do. A good battery is a must. Take you car to Napa Auto or your service station and have them test it out. You don't want to be stuck with a dead battery.
Another little handy items is one of the battery jumper chargers that you keep in your car in case your battery goes dead on you. You charge the little thing up and when you need it you just hook it up to your battery and start up the old car. They work great. The only thing is to make sure you check it every once in a while to make sure it is charged.

What's Up
Gas prices!!!! What happened to make the gas go up 16 cents in just a couple days. My word, it was down to $1.99 and jumped back up in no time. You know the thing that bothers me is that prices go up without the gas tanker truck even coming into the station. How do they do it?
Now, I saw today that all of the stations in Evansville; Mobil, Landmark and BP are all at $2.09. Citgo on the otherhand is at $2.15. What's up with that?

New Stores and Resturants Coming Soon?
The land at the corner of Hwy 14 & County M may soon have a new look. The word is that Helegsen Holdings is looking at developing this land. There has been rumors of several different businesses that may show up here. What I have heard is; Taco Bell, Culvers, a car dealership and a bowling alley with restaurant. This is the same bowling alley that was trying to get approval for a site in Union Township at the corner of County M and Territorial road. That did not get far with that site just like the other site that was by Ace Hardware next to the Morning ridge subdivision. That site was too close to the houses and was wisely not approved. I think the same with the Territorial road site. There was house's proposed to go in behind the bowling alley. I don't think this would have been a good thing either. Maybe just maybe this new site will be the ticket.
Now, there sounds like there will be a change in how you get by this new business park when you are driving on highway 14 to Janesville. You see, the word is that a Round-a-Bout will be installed at John Lindemann Dr. and Hwy. 14. This is what the State of Wisconsin is saying the city should put in to make this project work. They don't want a 4 way intersection you see. This Round-a-Bout will work in a pretty slick way. Here's how it works.
You would approach this circular intersection and slow to a speed of 15mph. You merge in to the right and proceed around the circle until you come to the street you want to get off on. You would stay on the outside part of the circle so you just have to turn off onto the street. Anyone entering the Round-a-Bout has to yield to the vehicles already going in circles. You see it's not too bad. The weirdest thing I see is that in order to make a left onto John Lindemann Dr. you have to turn right into the Round-a-Bout and proceed around the circle to get to you left turn. Now the good thing is that you don't have to stop, accidents are suppose to be fewer and if you have ever had someone tell you that you do nothing but go in circles you can now do just that.
Well, we will have to wait and see what we get in for these new business's. Hopefully, this will happen this summer and we will have some new places to go have fun and get something to eat.
