According to English legend, if it rains today, it will rain for the next 40 days. We don’t think it necessarily applies to the desert.
Today is also Be a Dork Day.
Long time listeners of Your Morning Show (and viewers of ABC-7) will remember Amber Sullins
She left the area a couple of years ago to do the weather on Channel 7 in Phoenix and now the big guns in New York are calling. Her boss received a call recently from the producers of Good Morning America and asked if she could fill in this weekend and next on the nationally televised show. She called us this morning to talk about it. Listen here: amber
How about a new friend?
Dio-neshus(?) is three years old and looking for a new home. He’s big and cuddly and can be adopted at the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley.
