Happy April Fools Day, EAGLE NATION!!!!!! Make sure you don't fall for too much today. Happy Tuesday. Smile as much as you can today, as it encourages others and creates positive vibes for you. Spring sports are in full action as modified teams started practice last night, and games for all teams are about to be in full swing. We have clearer skies today, but it's a lot chillier than yesterday. The rest of the week's weather looks to be unsettled, so be prepared.
