Things You Need to Know about the Swine Flu

Cows on the Arsenal?

At a recent Free Lunch Friday, Betsy & I delivered lunch out at the Arsenal. On our way out I noticed a barbed wire fence & joked about having cattle there. Within seconds Betsy spotted a cow. So the mission at that point was to find out what the story was behind cattle on an army base! :)

Check out the audio below to see how this played out on-air. :)
