Missed it by THAT much

We're going to miss the BIG storm that will develop in Texas Tuesday and JUST skim to the south of Wisconsin on Wednesday. We should still get some good rain from a low and that band of rain will hold together and sweep across Wisconsin.

====================
Of course the big thing on peoples minds is East Washington construction which begins today. The last phase and I tell ya - I am 100% impressed at how well they have routed traffic in the last three phases. I'm not going to get all upset yet (as some people are upset already and it has not even started).

Sierra is the normal sized cat. They don't even see the mouse behind them.
Or is that some giant sperm. OK - won't go there.

======================
I had the Columbus Political Tour last night. I did not know Columbus had these tours but Left Hand Louie was the limo river. Very informative. I also did not know that Columbus had an 18 year old Mayor at one time. Certainly not the youngest Mayor as Brian Zimmerman (11) won an election for Mayor in Crabb Texas in 1983. In fact his Mayoral victory was made into a movie called Lone Star Kid.

I did have a chance to see all the bone head blunders from past administrations. It seems Columbus is the building moving capitol of Wisconsin. Buildings being moved from block to block. I have heard rumors that they are planning on moving the entire downtown to be next to the truck stop to help tourism. Then fill in the holes left by the buildings to become skating rinks and fishing holes. We could get bait shops to move into town.

The mayor of Muskogee, Oklahoma is 19 and he wants a girl friend. His claim to fame (other then being a 19 year old Mayor of a 40,000 pop town) is that he is not only the head of the Young Republicans he is ALSO the head of the Young Democrats. But he commented that his main goal is to fill the girlfriend position in his administration.

Speaking of history - I found this History of Columbia County circa 1880?? Certainly is old!!! It COULD be interesting. It's over 1000 pages.

Here is a photo of the beautiful Udey Dam. I'm thinking we could make this a tourist destination. See the all powerful Udey Dam over 80 years old and still holding back most of the water. Plus you can see how canoeist can go down the falls. They have to because there is no portage.


Here is Mill Pond - across the street from Mullins Drive-In, next to the park. Actually the river looked pretty nice running through it and if we blew up the dam and made that into a park it would be very very scenic. I've never seen this area with water so I can not picture what it would look like. I can't see it being very deep though if the dam was holding the water. 3 feet???

On the good side Columbus is not going to have the uninformed voters decide. Roger Sneath had a small phone survey and it seems 75% of the people he called said "you do it". Well done Roger.

On a final note - I see The Columbus Pioneer still has dressed Pet rabbits for sale. I wonder if they are dressed for Easter now?

Guess I'm not "into" writing today. I have a writers block (normally lasts 8 to 12 hours).
