You're leaking. :) Its been snowing down here in north central WV off and 
on all night and restarted again with a serious note just a few minutes 
ago.

How far is that from Iron Mountain, which is down against the NE corner of 
WI?  That's as close as I've been to Sault Ste. Marie, Russ has a sort of 
a tv station there.  I'd go through there on my way by rather than fight 
with the traffic & bad weather around windy, & buy you a cuppa if its a 
decent hour when I go by.

And I tilled the garden for the second time yesterday.  Same principle.  
We had a couple of days recently over 75F.  Making my fishing hand itch I 
tell you.

I wish I didn't, I'm sick of shaving, so I don't from Oct to April.  About 
7 to 8", mostly light gray these days, just enough curl to be unruly.  
Now gone for the summer except some Kenny Rogers sideburns.
