The creek, while not flooding, is high in its banks and running strong.

We were able to walk the prairie today without gunshots (rare anywhere in the country these days) so Pax was fine, but the low spots were not only damp but deep, and Sue had to wade through ice water in tennis shoes.

I hope deliberations are going well in Paris.
