It’s a Waylon, Willie and Watchful Wednesday…

I confess, I love Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, although not as much as my all time favorite George Jones.  If you have been my blogging friend for a few years you all know I am a big classic country music fan.  Todays country music has no body and soul.  That is the best way to describe it I think.  I listen to this music on WIRL Peoria.  http://tunein.com/radio/WIRL-1290-s23733/  What a great way to start the morning.  I turn on the radio and do my half hour of exercise.

It is a watchful Wednesday because we are under a winter storm watch for tomorrow and Friday.

WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...

A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT.

* TIMING... SNOW WILL DEVELOP OVER PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS BY EARLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.

* ACCUMULATIONS... 4 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW WITH HEAVIEST AMOUNTS NORTHWEST OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER.

* WIND... EAST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MPH WITH A FEW GUSTS REACHING 30 MPH... WHICH WILL DEVELOP SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW DURING THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY EVENING.

**********

Since I live close by the Illinois River I am hoping we get the lesser amounts of snow.  I know a lot of you love snow.  I personally do not.  It has to be shoveled and cleaned off the car and driven in and I don’t like any of those three things. 

And now I am off to have my breakfast.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Will Willie sing for a plea??

I am sure by now you all know that I am a huge Willie Nelson fan.  I don't agree with his lifestyle, but hey, that is his business.  I got the biggest kick out of this article I saw in today’s paper.

Prosecutor wants Willie to sing for plea

EL PASO, Texas, March 30 (UPI) -- A Texas prosecutor has recommended singer Willie Nelson settle up a marijuana possession charge by pleading guilty and singing a song in court.
Nelson, 77, was arrested in November after Border Patrol officers allegedly found pot on his tour bus.
Although settling such petty cases is usually done by mail, E! News reported Tuesday Hudspeth County Attorney Kit Bramblett said he thinks Nelson should pay a fine and entertain the court by singing "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" as a community service.
"You bet you’re a** I ain't gonna be mean to Willie Nelson," Bramblett told the Big Bend Sentinel newspaper
