Kyle Busch won the Nascar Dayton race last night in a narrow win over Carl Edwards. One of the better cars in the field was Tony Stewart who got sick. He was replaced early by J.J. Yeley.

The Republican River is starting to get very low with only 160 cfs. During the flooding it ran 9000 cfs. What a difference. At least there is still some water in the river. It has been dry most of the past eight summers. The Harlan County Lake elevation is at 1947.29 down from 1947.83 a week ago. Normal elevation is at 1946.

The fishing in the lake was slower this week. Mr. Catfish and myself caught carp, large mouth bass, catfish, wipers, drum, white bass, and bullheads on July 4th. Mr. Catfish, Michael Boehler, caught a two pound and a four pound catfish. Otherwise most of the fish were small. We used leeches, minnows, shrimp, and nightcrawlers for bait.

"Hero of the Underground, Jason Peter" is a new book out. Looks like interesting reading.

Tom Kropp has been elected to the National High School Hall of Fame.

Nebraska basketball redshirts Brandon Richardson and Toney McCray are getting praises from their teammates this summer. Also 6'9" Alex Chapman, who is Nebraska's tallest player until 6'11" German recruit Christopher Niemann arrives, is also showing improvement.

Former Kearney High School and University of Nebraska-Lincoln player Drew Anderson is Triple A Louisville's top hitter this year. Watch for him to move to the majors soon.
