Let's-Talk-About-the-Weather Dept: The temperature made it into double-digits this afternoon. It's 12 degrees at the airport, and 10.8 at my house. As I mentioned in my previous post, we're to approach -10 tonight, so the progress toward 'normal' temps is slow.

At-the-Boiling-Point Dept: As I made my usual rounds today, I wandered into several political discussions. Most were conservative, some were not, but all had a central topic in common. You can probably guess what it is. And people are much angrier than I thought; surprisingly so.

Things-That-Go-Bump-in-the-Night Dept: The wedding at my Missouri friend's farm apparently went well. The young'uns got properly hitched, and all the relatives, in-laws, and out-laws have departed. He's more concerned now about the mountain lions which have been taking local deer, and spooking his horses.
Smart fella, though - keeps a loaded rifle by the door, and hits the floodlights as he steps out of his house. He's heard one or more big cats nearby, but hasn't seen them on his land yet - only tracks.

Thanks for stopping by - have a great evening!
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

If I can find some pics I'll send them to you of a mountain lion attack on a horse here last year. Horse lived but suffered MAJOR damage to its hind quarters. Probably a stop foot and a half in diameter and 3 inches deep.
Mountain lions in Missouri? Inconceivable!
(The COs in PA and NY are all trained to say the cats are not present in the vast north woods. Wink. Wink.)
Guess that mountain lion did not get his share of horse stamps from nanny. lol
Hope you get him. Shoot straight.
