Coyotes roam the area as well and a pack could e...
You know, Lord, it's fun to hear how some families prepare for Holidays. "Tillie" shared that one day she mentioned to her son and grandson that it was time to put up the Easter decorations!

Brian Slodysko and Ken Sweet Associated Press WASHINGTON — It seemed like a good idea at the time: Red-state Democrats facing grim reelection prospects would join forces with Republicans to slash bank regulations — demonstrating a willingness to work with President Donald Trump while bucking many in their party. That unlikely coalition voted in 2018 to roll back portions of a far-reaching 2010 law intended to prevent a future financial crisis.
