Good morning, Ross County. Mosquito season just got a little more serious — the Ross County Health District has confirmed West Nile virus in two mosquito pools, one each in Green Township and Union Township. Time to dust off the bug spray, swap the shorts for long sleeves at dusk, and walk the yard for anything holding standing water. It's a small checklist that makes a real difference.
On the national front, the labor market keeps quietly defying expectations with jobless claims falling again, and CSX's board showed Wall Street means business by swapping out its CEO under investor pressure. If you're in house-hunting mode rather than mosquito-swatting mode, fresh local real estate listings are waiting inside to flip through.
