JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
1. BROUGHT THE WARM BACK-- Temps here in northeast Illinois are hitting the balmy 40s in these days of Al's Global Warming. Hopefully, it will melt some of this lousy white stuff that made the snowmobile folk so happy.
We've had snow on the ground since December. It's still here, but hopefully gone by next week.
Perhaps we were good enough to bring the spring back with us? If so, I'll take full credit. Thank you very much.
2. WEIRD SNOW-- Yesterday, we were preparing to head out to the Donovan's Reef North in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, when I looked out the window to see what appeared at first to be the weirdest snow flakes I've ever seen. They were big, floating down in every direction and just strange.
When I went outside, I saw a huge column of smoke way off to the northeast and realized these were ashes. I was surprised we'd be getting the fall out at that distance, but it was a really huge wall of smoke with an almost mushroom shape at the top.
It continued snowing ashes on us as we drove to Twin Lakes. As we got closer to Il-173 we saw that it was east of us and to the south of 173. We could see the smoke coming up from numerous places. Illinois' Chain of Lakes State Park is located there so figured it might be a controlled burn that might have gotten a bit out of control.
When we returned home, Liz went on the computer and that was exactly what it was.

You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
