WHEN BORED, TAKE A LITTLE RIDE

AN 18 WHEELER CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD...


...A METAL TONKA TOY MINIATURE EARTH MOVER...

THE ASHLAND LIGHTHOUSE ON A VERY CALM DAY
Thursday, the first day of December, manidoo-giizisoons...the Month of the Little Spirit Moon, in the Ojibwe language.  8:30 AM.  32 degrees F at the ferry dock, 27 on the back porch.  Wind N, calm with light gusts.  The sky is overcast and cloudy after a dusting of snow last night.  The humidity is 88%, the barometer 29.79" and rising. The week ahead is predicted to be colder, and mostly overcast with snow showers.
   We went to Ashland yesterday and experienced several rare events:  a mink, in full winter white coat, ran across the road right in front of us just south of Bayfield on Hwy. 13... it had its dinner in its mouth; the lower Chequamegon Bay at Ashland, uncharacteristically calm, provided a good photo op of the Ashland lighthouse;  and we encountered some delightful trucker humor in Ashland on Hwy. 2, where we were pleasantly surprised by the "load" (an old metal Tonka Toy earth mover, skillfully tied down on the huge bed) being carried on an 18 wheeler .
   When bored, take a little ride.
