A MIXED WEATHER DAY, AND A TRAGEDY ON THE REZ

NOON WEDNESDAY ON HWY. 13 SOUTH OF BAYFIELD

Wednesday, 10:30 PM.  This will have to serve as the Thursday post, as we must leave early for a trip to Duluth.  Wednesday was about as mixed bag a day as there could be, starting out dark and overcast again, then lightening up somewhat with struggling sunshine, then cooling enough to cause fog on the channel, then warming up to 38 degrees with us driving in a snowstorm on Hwy 13 on the way to Ashland at noon. The day ended dark and windy, with a trace of new snow in the driveway.  Hope the roads are OK for the 90 mile trip tomorrow morning.

   The Red Cliff Rez is a very private place, so the following may not appear in any news source, but it was told to us today by a friend who lives there. A young woman, evidently distraught at Donald Trump winning the election, doused herself with kerosene and set herself on fire.  She survived but will be scarred for life.  What a shame!  

   The doleful hype spewed by the losers and their allies really must stop, as it can cause real life tragedies. Obviously there must have been other factors in this unfortunate incident, but irresponsible talk and dire predictions can push vulnerable people to do terrible things.

   The rhetoric of the Left is no better or more responsible than shouting "fire" in the proverbial crowded theater.
