everything else is waiting
---------------------

It was a hot day at Michigan Kev's.  It had to be near 80 degrees this afternoon!  I thought it would be interesting to interject a picture taken in January after a particularly heavy snowfall.

I was passing through Christmas, MI on my way to Munising and noticed that Santa has a new coat of paint.  For all I know, it may have been painted weeks ago, but today was the day I noticed.

The quote for today is from Karl Wallenda, patriarch of one of the world's most famous circus families.  The Flying Wallendas are still performing their aerialist/tightrope act to this day.

During a promotional walk in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in March of 1978, Karl Wallenda fell to his death at age 73.  The tragedy was not caused by his age or loss of ability, nor was it caused by the wind he encountered that day.  His fatal fall was caused by several misconnected guy ropes along the wire.

I can only aspire to attain the astonishing passion Karl felt for his chosen profession.
