Hmm. That address doesnt look right. It looks like the link pointing here was faulty.
Saw some evidence of an icing sugar like dusting of the white stuff stuck to the bushes on the roadside while highway deadheading yesterday. A week ago we were still getting massive bug splatter on the windshield. This a positive aspect of the current change of season. Lake trouts are gorging, tu. Goin out and reel a few in and take a pensioned offf buddy's invitation to learn about the art of preparing homemade smoked fish. "Eyeses off or on" whatever I like he says.
