Please make your way to your voting station sometime today. The way that I look at it, you really have no right to complain about who is elected or not elected if you don't bother to cast your own vote...

Water Rates
Many people in Leoti have been angered over the rising costs of our water. I did some research on the matter and wanted to pass it on to all of you. Personally, I was very encouraged by what I learned!
Until this recent rate change, Leotians were paying $18.38 for every 2,000 (two thousand) gallons. The new rate is just $30.00 for 5,000 ( five thousand) gallons. When those rates are broken down, it means that originally, we have paid out $45.95 for using 5,000 gallons. Today, we are just paying an extra $4.05 for using 5,000 gallons. That price hike is not that major when you stop and figure it out.
Soon, after the winds come down, many of us will be returning to the great outdoors. A good portion of us enjoy our green grass and plenty of fresh flowers, etc in our gardens. If you are concerned about your water bill, start using mulch in your gardens to keep your plants moist longer. Pay more attention to your watering habits. Don't just let your water run down the street gutters. Don't overwater either.
If you have any questions about the rates that I posted here, etc., call the Leoti City Hall at 375.2341. That is where I got my information!

Ah--ah--CHOO!!!!!!!!!!!
That seems to be the word of the day in Western Kansas! Winds--very strong winds, have been blowing here for the past few days. Along with them, has come lots and LOTS of blowing dust. Due to lack of moisture and the strong winds, Red Flag Weather Alerts have been set up. Satanta is south of Wichita County. There were wild fires headed straight towards the town yesterday. At least one house was completely destroyed. All of Satanta's residents were evacuated from the town for several hours. The last that I knew, no injuries were reported. Thank You, God!!!
This week is the Kansas State English Testing through schools. In recent years, teachers have asked parents to send food for their child's class to eat before the testing begins. We were asked to send a casserole this morning. Leighlyn and I went through a bunch of breakfast recipes but settled on the idea of scrambling eggs with a bunch of sausage and then adding cheddar cheese. But we forgot that Mel's closes early on Sundays. That meant that we had no other choice but to east to Scott City so that we could buy some Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage and 5 dozen eggs. It takes a lot of food to fill 7th graders tummies up so that they can perform better on tests!
We left Leoti sometime after 6:00. The trip to S.C. was HORRIBLE!!! Dirt and tumbleweeds were EVERYWHERE!!! Five or six times, our visibility was less than 20 feet. It was as translucent as mud. Leighlyn and I spoke to God several times about not only keeping us safe but for keeping all of the other people on the roads safe also. We probably spent less than 30 minutes in Scott City before we headed back home. Driving back to Leoti was better. Winds were still terrible but there was a decreased amount of dust in the air. I assume that by that time, all of the dirt north of Highway 96 had been relocated to lands south of Highway 96. LOL!!!
I noticed that everywhere I went today, people were sneezing or coughing. My asthma is acting up some but I haven't had any attacks yet. I am sure that many other asthmatics are having attacks.
Hopefully, the winds will die soon and the dirt will once again settle...somewhere.

Mission Completed
Good news! As I reported earlier, Stan and I began reflooring our master bedroom on Saturday morning. He had patched a few spots the Saturday before. This past weekend, we put a whole new floor over the top of the original floor. After that, we laid laminate over everything. It seemed like we worked non-stop for those two days. LOL! But in actuality, we managed to stop long enough to sleep Saturday night and to eat a few meals. The results are BEAUTIFUL!
Along the way, we had a few downs. The laminate flooring which was supoosed to be delivered here along with construction materials, never arrived. Friends had gone to Garden City and offered very generously to bring home everything for us. Somehow, only the construction supplies were sent. That was fine. That way, we were able to put most of the new flooring down before we had to go to GC to pick up the laminate.
Yesterday morning, one of my fingers was crushed between wood. It is much better today. No blood was spilled, no bones broken and the feeling is coming back into it. A small bruise is all that remains. Unfortunately, Stan RAN A SCREW THROUGH HIS FINGER!!! It was A-W-F-U-L!!! He lost a good amount of blood but refused to go to the hospital. I thought that he should get stitches but he said that there was nothing to stitch back together. Fortunately, his tetanus shot was still active. Eventually, the bleeding stopped and he returned to work on the floor again. Such a trooper, he is!
We were supposed to be hosts at the Star Theatre last night. Shortly after lunch, we realized that there was no way that we would have the floor finished, furniture moved back in, bed made, etc by 6:30 when we needed to leave for Tribune. Fortunately, we were able to find some substitutes to take our place. Thank you, D and J!!! As it turned out, we finally had the bedroom put back together enough that we could sleep in there at 9:30. The room is not completely back together yet. I still have to return our B-I-G Asparagus Fern and do some of my notorious decorating. Anyway, we LOVE the floor and are enjoying the lack of weak spots that we had had earlier! We were also very fortunate and ended up with a considerable surplus of laminate and underlayment. We'll be using it soon on the girls' bedroom floor. It is in great shape but we just want to have the laminate in there also.
