yea - well.

Rhonda had the explanation that the UFO was a kite. Seem logical but there is some weirdness still. For one thing the wind was between 1.1 mile per hour and calm from the WNW which MIGHT be enough to keep a kite in the air but then that kite would need so pretty large lights.

All I know is if I ever see it again I'm going for a drive.

The red line is the direction I first viewed it - straight down the road.  The circle is where the alleged kite was being flown out of in the 1.1 mph breeze.

For Kim - Ali and Roberto are very happy and when asked about getting married both agree that they want to live normal for a while before setting a date but both also say that Spring would be great and hint hint they would love a TV wedding as Roberto has 700 in his family that would attend.

Both also said hint hint that they would LOVE to compete against each other in Dancing With the Stars.

I was looking at some old folders and found a photo of a cardinal taken many years ago- it was sort of small so I had to rescue it!

Elweed's Mom loves Cardinals - maybe I'll have to figure out how to make an inexpensive copy for him to give to his mom for Christmas.

The first winter forecast has come out.

We are in a transition between El Nino and La Nina - the last time this happened was in 2007/2008 and we all know what happened THAT year 100 inches of snow.  Sharpen up the blades on the snow blower!!!

Speaking of beer!  I tried a New Glarus Moon Man - EXCELLENT Pale Ale!!

Golden yellow body with light carbonation speckled throughout the body. The wispy white head leaves sporadic patches of lace. Really nice zesty fresh citrusy aroma. Lemon and orange are big. This APA is very bright and citrusy. Unique flavor, which is hard to come by in APAs. Leather and lemon. Quite dry, but refreshing. Light-medium body.

But still - the best APA is Three Floyd's Alpha King!  And while I consider Ale Asylum one of if not the BEST brewery in Wisconsin their Hopalicious is good their IPA's are outstanding! and very extreme. You can always count on alcohol in an Ale Asylum brew! No session beers here!

hmmmm 0 nuttin else to say!

have a great weekend - HOT week next week so enjoy the coolness we have now!

  1. NEWS FLASH! Minnesota octopus predicts if Brett Favre will retire.

    It's a testament to how far the human race has progressed that when we need answers to life's big questions, we go straight to the nearest octopus.

  2. I never for a moment believed the UFO explanation would be extraterrestrial, or in any way supernatural. BUT... I'm with you about the kite suggestion not "flying" with what we observed. Our observation night was also quite still. Also, the kite moved very rapidly until it stopped, and covered a large swath of sky without changing level at all. So... unless that kite is huge, can go really high, AND IS MOTORIZED... I'm still curious!
