In between the ice storms, the thunderstorms, and the crazy temperature changes, I feel spring has headed our way. I love spring and all that it brings, beautiful weather, longer days, all the colors and baseball. But my most favorite part of spring is what it reminds me of and that is change.
No matter what our winter was like, soon, like a breath of fresh air, like I know my own name. I know spring will come and bring all the good things with it.

Roger Wicker, this state’s senior member of the U.S. Senate, is suddenly a hero to many Mississippians for his tough stance against an ICE detention center that a federal agency had proposed for the hamlet of Byhalia in the state’s northeast corner.
I agree that Sen. Wicker deserves a round of thanks.
The Republican lashed out against the Trump administration’s proposal to create the facility, and they have pretty much since shelved the idea.
Minds can change, but it seems final for now that the facility will go elsewhere. Godspeed! Watch that swingin’ door behind you.
