1. For the first time in a month, we have a new member of the medal stand in The Great Plate IV search for the most creative personal license plates across West-Central Illinois and Northeast Missouri.
DR FUNN, who won gold, and U BABE 1, who won silver, are ahead of Quincy, who won bronze.

Quincy won the bronze medal.

- People are climbing mountains and zip lining, and I m feeling good just because I got my leg through my underwear without falling down.
- I m confused how a cemetery can raise its funeral prices and blame it on the cost of living.
- I made a huge to-do list for today. I just can t figure out who s going to do it.
- When I look in the mirror and see gray hair, tiny wrinkles and dimming eyes I think, They sure don t make mirrors like they used to.’
Steve’s Daily ThoughtI’ve heard that you can stop a bullet from hitting any important organs if you have five inches of fat around your abdomen. You’re not fat, then. You have armor. Eat that cake.
