It’s Sunday Morning and I’m getting caught up on the 411 in our Modesto Bee. As I browse through the Saturdays Modesto Bee, I noticed a wonderful piece on our new church that all at Saint Stanislaus have been working so hard to make a reality.

Where? It’s on our local Public Access Channel. See everything from a Job Board to cool episodes by the MPD as well as some cool works by our city officials. Other things to look for our, the office of education doings, adoptable pet show chase, City of Modesto visitors bureau info, Modesto city council meetings, The Modesto planning commission, The Cancer Report, The Stanislaus Planning Commission, Modesto Crime Live and our Holiday Events/Parades. I just watched the MPD Equestrian Division and I very much enjoyed it.

It’s a little after 10AM and my Air conditioner just kicked on! The heat is coming & by Wednesday it should be one Hot Mother Hubbard. Please be mindful of the heat; Please make sure your drinking plenty of water & give those seniors in your life a call. Let them know that the heat is on and they should take precautions now for this weeks scorcher. Also, Please! Please make sure our pets have plenty of fresh water and have a place to chill in a shaded area. Please..

I guess Ed Bearden the new poet laureate be ok, but I just put him in the letter to the editor, as he's the new appointee to be Poet Laureate of Modesto and because Slam on Rye, and outgoing poet laureate Sam Pierstorff has some "juice" with the Bee, finally got a cartoon on their editorial page in the Print edition. See a printed copy of the Bee, better than the online version. Anyway, the "retired" er, fir/. uh, Ed got the next term, after four years great service from Sam. So, my letter, version of gold watch, which is same drawing in gilded frame I was going to drop by his office at MJC, only to still have it to give him July 12.

So before I went through the Parade, some old guy that was directing us came up and said, Hey young fellow! Who Me? Smiles.. I got one for ya..

What time is it when you find yourself being cased in circles by a horse, tiger & a lion and, you just can’t get away from them..
