The poor Wife has had a difficult time of things lately, and really needed some time for herself. She planned earlier this week to take some such time today, but alas, our daycare provider's child had a stomach bug, leaving the Wife to care for the Boy in the morning.

Yeah, it didn't seem that cold, but he got good 'n' rosy in a hurry.

Wow, Duluth. And you *want* to live there?

Do you want Milwaukee buried with snow, or the bodies of your sworn enemies at Marquette? Feel free to call upon your viking brothers in your quest for vengeance; I can't remember the last time I carved a nice blood eagle.

damn, snow really was pretty low this week. that's considerably lower and closer than the hansis forest, which was where i last encountered (califerrnian) snow.

HSU Environmental Science professor *Dick* Hansis forest?

He hails from my (nearly - I went to middle and high school there) native Eau Claire, Wisconsin, you and the Anonymous Notorious Jess both out to know.

That looked like a lovely day indeed. Ya know, I find it very uplifting to see photos like these. It tells me that there is goodness and happiness in the world. Thanks for the inspiration, and for sharing these. :)

We have a name for the place of goodness and happiness: California! Check it out sometime! ranger hat, as I sit here at work with redwoods out one window and the surf out the other => {|:D>
