Welcome to today’s blog. I’m the Heavener Ledger publisher, writer, photographer and generally good guy.
Today is June 20, the 170th day of the year, if you are keeping score at home and aren’t we all. There are 194 days left in 2022.

Thank you again for the visit and please share this with anybody you think might be interested.
Greetings and salutations, whatever exactly that means. It is the start of another work week and things in the best part of Oklahoma are a little slow…and hot. With this being Thirteenth day all the banks, post office and court office are closed so most everything has been pushed back a day.
The one thing that hasn’t been pushed back is our political meet and greet at 6 p.m. Monday at the PAC with all the candidates running for political office in the county invited to attend and speak to the crowd for five minutes, and set up a table and give our campaign stuff.
Hopefully, there will be plenty of the candidates and a good crowd. It has always been good before, but one never knows.
We celebrated Father’s Day yesterday by going to Fort Smith to eat and watch the new Jurassic Park flick. I enjoyed it and thought it was dinomite, with excuses to Jimmy Walker. Trish the Wife, Khloe and her friend thought it was boring. As if.
Ate lunch at the Olive Garden, but did not eat any olives, just spaghetti with meat sauces. Another trip to Fort Smith will be done today if the pool store is open to keep that pain in the posterior region running.
As hot as it is expected to get later in the week, the pool will probably be needed for the Hall family and all the people Trish invites over to splash water out of the pool.
The ratty notebook pictured here is my weather book I have been keeping since May 5, 2020. This allows me to know and write about what the weather was like on this day a year ago. Nobody else might care, but I find it interesting. During my time keeping this, I have changed the info from Heavener to Poteau because weather.com only has Heavener records back 20 or 30 years while Poteau goes back nearly a century.
The only stretch we are missing was when I was visiting Tulsa for a week last year. Keeping track of the temperatures wasn’t anything I was worried about that week.
I have started compiling a list of sports schedules for fall so I you have one for football, fast pitch softball or cross country send that sucker by electronic mail to craig@heavenerledger.com.
Thank you. May you and your family you have a great day and an excellent week ahead.
Be nice.
