Melting Snow

The lake is like a mirror this morning, no wind, no waves. The snow is all gone except for a few stalwart patches.  The temperature is already near 40.  You can take an almost live look at the DanaCam.

Yesterday, we were able to sneak away to Marquette without any of the kids.  This is a truly remarkable accomplishment!  We ate a great breakfast at the Family Restaurant, part of the Edgewater Motel, located between Harvey and Marquette.

There was a ship unloading coal at the power plant and I snapped a few digital photographs.  Trips to Marquette remind me of some of the advantages of living in the city: traffic, road rage, crowds, traffic lights...

The kids have swimming lessons today so we will be driving back to Marquette this afternoon.  I have been pressing the trailer demolition guy for a price and he came in $1400.00 above the number we discussed on the phone!  I already have a second estimate that is $800.00 less than his.  The trailer seems to have a force of its own, hindering its demise at every step.

I'm looking forward to listening to A Prairie Home Companion tonight.  Support your local public radio station!
