Advisory Boards Meeting Today

The Big Wigs will be intoday...albeit none of them where a wigm and none of them are big, either. Not sure what;s on the docket, but I am sure we will discuss Community Fun Day, our new recreation hall, maybe a bit about summer camp, and probably Dock of the Bay.

Yes, this means I wore a shirt with a collar and buttons.

Yesterday, after work, I spent some time in the deer stand (actually sitting in a shallow ditch in the middle of a beanfield). Deer were ready to move yesterday, especially since the rain and wind ceased for a bit. I saw 8 deer, most of them does and yearlings. Watching deer is a lot of fun...if they don't know you are there - because if they know you are there, they will leave. But if they don't know your watching, well just think of what you do when you think nobody is watching...like scratching.

This morning, the atmosphere was totally steamy and the temperature was a blistering 75 degrees. For the record, that's to durn hot form the last week of October. According to the weathermen and weatherwomen, the winter forescast calls for colder than average in lieu of El Nino, or as I like to call it, El Neeno. I love a cold winter...winter is a season of attrition, but of rebirth. Leaves, mosquitoes, and songbirds dissapear with the natural promise to return, and usually i droves.

According to "Thirtyfoot Terri", the swan migration is finally on...she had 3 swans in her field yesterday. Swans are fun to watch because they are the size of those tiny kit planes that beginner pilots like to build...swans will devastate a wheat field, though...if you google "swan migration" you can find a website that lets you track individual swans on their migration from tundral Alaska all the way to places like Kilkenny, Engelhard, Roper, and Pantego. Swans must love country livin' because those places are certainly in the country, if not past it a little bit.

DO NOT FORGET about Community Fun Day on the 31st...think summer camp mixed with weenie roast, but with parents...it'll be fun!

Enjoy the day...
