A Nip in the Air

It was 32° F. here this morning; we finally closed the windows (upon awakening) and ran the furnace for awhile.

The Northern Birch leaves have lost their rich green color, now looking pale with a yellowish tinge. In fact, there are clusters yellow leaves, here and there ... and not a few of them on the ground already.

Somewhere off in the distance, there's the sound of gunfire. It could be from the Wet Bunny Range, some three miles to the south. I suppose the staff might be getting some early practice before it opens to the public at 10:00.

A long-time follower and commenter, Rob, has a new blog up: At The Lake In The Woods. Go check it out, and let him know I sent you.

Meanwhile, the coffee's rich and strong, and breakfast is nearly ready. All y'all take care out there, and thanks for stopping by.

America Rising 2010: A New Blog

I've been invited to participate in a new blog: "America Rising 2010". The creator's purpose is not just to provide info on conservative or Tea Party candidates, but to list all of them - and then highlight the differences.

Give it a look if you have a moment; there will be contributors from all around the country. A number of authors have been contacted, and quite a few have already accepted.

It's really new, and there are only two posts so far. The latest one (as of 3:40 pm AKDT) is here - a listing of Alaskan state-wide candidates in this November's election. Okay, yes, I put it up, but don't let that stop you.
