Big Storm

A big storm blew in before 5a.m. this morning toppling my neighbors 30 foot pine and splitting a large branch on our maple. Two chains saws made removing the debris fairly painless.

Shoulder Season

It has arrived. April. Shoulder Season. Kinda of a tweener. Too warm for winter sports, too cold for spring sports, or too windy, rainy and cold for biking etc. Muddy, bloody muddy - April. Hail, rain, snow, wind gusts to 35. And then the sun shone today and that was good.

84 Degrees

Just the other day there was snow visible at Olympia Ski Hill and a little ice on some bays on some local lakes; now it is a roaster. Canoes and kayaks are everywhere it seems - some atop cars and trucks or in rivers and lakes. Hang on, storm coming.

Spring Signs

Fat Robins twisting in the wind with worm. Ice slipping away off lakes. Piers placed in place. Road repair. Fisherman fishing. Hail pellets pummeling people. Spring signs.

Joel Kleefish

Governor Walker became Governor today. Expect change. Today Rep. Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc) authored a bill to prevent people from registering to vote on election day. Obviously Kleefish is convinced procastinators tilt Democrat. Do you procastinate? Do you ever get around to it? Do you vote? Are you registered?

Do you think eligible voters should not be allowed to register to vote on election day?
