THE SKY IS FALLING!

FOGGY MORNING

TROLLING

PIZZA AT DALOU'S

Sunday, 9:30 AM.  35 degrees F, wind ENE, light.  It is overcast and foggy, the ferry and pier fog horns blowing incessantly.  The barometer is steady at 30.27 in. and the humidity is 97%.  Welcome to Seattle, Wisconsin.
   Daughter-in-law Leslie and granddaughter Allison left this morning to drive to Minneapolis and fly back to Texas.  We had a great visit and Allison got her fill of playing in the Bayfield snow.  The house seems very quiet, and Buddy is looking for his little playmate.
   Our late, late spring and overly generous snow cover has led to a lot of debate locally over " Global Warming," and probably nobody has changed their opinion much, except that "Change" is probably now the operative word.

   To quote that famous climatologist Chicken Little, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling! I must run and tell the king!
