It’s been a week——maybe longer it seems; time froze somewhere between last Friday and the Ice Apocalypse here in Desha County. Roads turned into skating rinks, thermometers gave up, and Mother Nature reminded us who’s really in charge.
Through it all, Desha County folks did what they always do: pulled together, showed patience, and helped one another. I want to say a huge thank-you to our residents for your understanding, good humor, and common sense ( most of the time) during a week when none of us had much traction or control.
