LIVING ON THE EDGE |

STILL WINTER |

BLACK WILLOWS IN THE BLIZZARD |
Sunday, 8:30 AM. 26 degrees, wind SW, moderate with stronger gusts. It is snowing, at times blizzard-like. The sky is completely overcast and visibility is poor. The barometer predicts more snow. Winter is still very much with us.
In spite of it all, or rather because of it all, it is a picturesque day, and a pleasure for Buddy and me to take our walk in. On days like this I like to remember the old Jewish prayer, “This is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us be glad, and rejoice in it.”
The mining issue is as murky as ever, the Chippewa tribes now intimating they will take it to federal court as a violation of their treaty rights. There is another public meeting this afternoon in Ashland, hosted by two of our representatives in the state legislature. If the weather permits I may go, although these meetings seem to seem to generate more heat than light.
