This afternoon, there’s a low-end chance for an isolated shower or two in the northwest, but confidence remains low.

He has fond memories of spending time here in his 30s, playing sports and goofing around with his uncles, who were just a few years older than him. More than anything, Randy wanted to see the bugs: five Volkswagen Beetles buried in the ground nose-down at a 45-degree angle. Collectively the cars represented the Slug Bug Ranch, an under-the-radar roadside oddity created by his uncle Ricky in the late 1990s. But the bugs were nowhere to be seen.
