Good early afternoon all. Warm and windy in Big D today. Expect a cool front w/rain in on Sunday night into Monday. We need rain. After a deluge in the spring and early summer it all stopped. I've lived here 25 years and don't remember this mild a winter. After January I expected the bottom to drop out in Feb. but so far no ice or snow. Very unusual. With an early Easter we may not get any this year. Trees will be budding out and bulbs coming up any day now. Tree pollen is heavy that has everyone's sinuses messed up.

JoAnne I read with interest your news about Jack's scalp issue. Several years ago, My DH had several spots on the his head (he's bald) that exhibited the same symptoms as Jack. The Dr. sent him to a dermatologist who took biopsies. They came back as pre-cancerous squamous cell lesions. They then did what is called a "Moh's" procedure where they go in and scrape away until they get clear margins after first giving him a few little injections of anesthesia, dressed the places and sent him home. You can google Moh's. I think it's a fairly common result of age and too much sunlight. He hasn't had any more appear and still has a shiny place on his scalp similar to a scar but at the first sign of more, would surely return. It wasn't painful beyond the first day and even then minimal. Hope this calms some of your worry.
