Ten Degrees and Getting Colder

  Cold Sunrise   That's just the name of the song written by Gordon Lightfoot.  It was actually -13 F when I got up this morning (wind chill -24).  Tucson may have pulled back into the lead!  There's a lot of weighing pros and cons of Colorado vs Arizona by the wood stove.  Not much else to report. I did enjoy a few games of pool and a beer with my brother this week.  We don't get together very often, so it's good to try to keep the lines of communication open, especially with my mother celebrating her 86th birthday next month.  He lives in Milwaukee and just started semi-retirement.  Our opposing politics and lifestyles keep things very casual and surface-level.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.   It's important to find common ground.  He and his wife have started going to concerts and recently saw the Steve Miller Band.  Music is one of our common interests.      

Wells State Park

 


We are camped about twenty feet from the lapping waves of Lake Michigan at Wells State Park which is just south of Escanaba, Michigan. 

We’ve had unusually hot weather in the Madison area, but it’s very comfortable here in the mid-70s with a light lake breeze. A short distance away in the woods, the mosquitoes are voracious. 

We will head further north tomorrow and make a gentle right turn at the northwest corner of the lake.

I swear, it must be your formidable countenance that keeps that woman safe. She just keeps getting more beautiful.

Unusually hot here in Nevada. A flood warning was issued for northern NV as sudden snow melt threatens to cause the Humboldt River to overflow.

Mosquitoes too! In a freakin' desert!

I’m merely backup. As a self described strong and I dependent woman, she stays pretty safe.

Mosquitoes in the desert? That shattered one of my assumptions. Stay cool.
