The webcam season has come to an end.  The recent bast of heat has made it necessary for me to be able to open and put a fan in the window that the webcam resides in.  Besides how exciting is it watching my grass grow anyway.  It will be back again this fall when the weather cools off.  Hopefully that's a long time away.  Everybody have a great, safe summer!!

I'd like to thank those that expressed their support for Weez's words to Bryon and apologize for my neglect in getting his column posted.  I'll try and be more vigilant in the future.  Please enjoy the last months worth of Weez's words.  Did we have an April?  Just seemed to go by in a blink of an eye.

Brenna Findley, who grew up right here on a farm near Dexter, aspires to be our next Attorney General.  Come support her Republican bid for the office by joining her at the Dexter Roundhouse on Friday May7th from 6:00pm to 7:30pm.  Find out how she plans to bring some sense back to governmet by defending our great Constitution and following principles laid out by the Founding Fathers

A loyal viewer of the Dexter Webcam sent me a frame of what appears to be a Bald Eagle flying though my back yard.  Sure looks like one to me.  Not sure what else it would be.  You be the judge.



The full size version is here.  Pretty incredible timing to actually capture that!!  Thanks to the person who sent that to me.

I think in lite of the recent political happenings a couple of quotes from one of the founders of this great nation of Liberty and Freedom and our 3rd President might be in order.

• “Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny”


• “If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.”


• "A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned-this is the sum of good government. "
