…blows no good. Here in Whitewater an east wind is blowing, with predictions of sleet and freezing rain, and that is causing a bit of panic—City government is closed tomorrow (messing up a meeting I had scheduled), schools are closed, and the grocery store in Fort was very busy with what our checker called panic buying. Could the meteorologic hype machine be using the east wind to fan some flames? Stay tuned, as they say.

In other news we saw two more bald eagles today, on the way to Fort. They were worrying a deer carcass lying in a farm field not far off the road.
