Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Will It Snow -- Or Won't It

   Still waiting for the trailer repairs to finish. I keep feeling that we're wearing out our welcome, staying at friends' house, but they've been patient with us. (Besides, I can cook.) Hunting season starts Friday, but the Brick needs to head out earlier to set up a base and scout a bit. We need our trailer!
     The first hard freeze was supposed to happen Sunday night,  thanks to a cold front that's bringing snow on Thursday. (It did -- frost on the windshields.) Which would be perfect for hunting -- it drives the animals down to lower altitudes. 
     Bear in mind that we were having sunny 80-degree temps as late as last week. Go figure.

A famous 'lost' Delacroix painting reappears. (Actually, it was never lost at all -- the collector just didn't reveal that he owned it.)

Air Force's mascot, Aurora the falcon, has died. She was 23. Anyone attending Air Force football games has admired this beautiful bird in flight.

What to do with all those hotel soaps and lotions, little jars of jam and other freebies...box them up and give them to your family for Christmas! A very funny classic post from Hundred Dollars A Month.

Have a great week. Stay cool -- or warm, as the case may be.
