Today's headlines:

  • federal tax reform held down Deere earnings, at least for the short term,
  • nothing to worry about so far in the spring flood outlook,
  • and Sikhs in the Quad Cities press for prosecution of a possible hate crime.

Rain is likely today–a 90% chance of showers. Also, possible thunderstorms. High of 55.

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
