Greetings from Capps. Life in the "Heat dome", otherwise known as the dog days of summer, continues. My poor dog gave me the, "Just shoot me now" look one day last week.

Not Capps related but the Humbled Hearts ministry will be having a fundraiser today ( Saturday) at Camp Jack from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.There will be motorcycles, cars and food so come out and support a good cause. They help people break the cycle of addiction and dependency and begin sober lives. This writer
