The company that provides me my server space had a little issue with a hacker and most everybody lost all their data, including all the data for this site.  Long ago I learned that backing up data is a very good idea.  I was able to restore a great majority of the site from the backups and will be working to get it all up and running as soon as possible.  Backup, Backup, Backup.  If it's at all important to you back it up somewhere!!!

For all you Bonnie & Clyde lovers the US version of the British Broadcasting Documentary on Bonnie & Clyde called "The Real Bonnie & Clyde" will be on the National Geographic Channel on June 3 @ 7:00pm and 10:00pm CST.  Some of the filming was done in the area and it features some local people.  Make sure and set your TVIO so you don't miss a moment.

I happend to be by the Roundhouse on Wednesday night (05/13) and the reality sign was gone from the front of the Roundhouse.  That's all I know.  You draw your own conclusion.

The Dexter Muesum has started their yearly season.  Volunteers from the Museum board will have the Museum open to the public from now till the first weekend in October. Hours are from 9:00am till Noon and by special appointment.  Recently the Museum aquired the score board from the 1948 National Plowing Match.  It's a very large and interesting piece, so stop and say Hi and see what else is new.

I think the time has come.  The weather has turned nice.  Instead of the webcam being an eye into what is going on weather wise in the Dexter area it has become a view of my more than neglected yard.  So instead of allowing you all the pleasure of watching my grass grow to unholy lenghts before it gets mowed off I think I'll shut it down till next winter.  Plus I need to put the screen back on the window so I can get some fresh air in here.  Everyone be safe and have a Great summer!!

See the article from the Dallas County News for more details.

Based on our long running poll numbers the majority seemed to support the idea of the Plant.  Sounds like they are still looking for something to go in there.  Let's just hope it's something quiet that doesn't offend the senses when the wind is out of the East.
