- Monday, 12/29: 35th Anniversary
- For today, our Missouri Department of Conservation calendar stated that "Squirrels gather in nests to conserve energy." Well, our squirrels didn't read that calendar entry, because three of them were running around under the nearest pecan tree on a cold morning. Conserving energy wasn't part of their makeup.
- We experienced a cold, single-digit morning with a strong northwest to west wind. From a measly 9°, it gradually made it up to 20° for a high temperature.
- Today was our 35th anniversary. Mary and I got married on a much colder day in 1990 in Red Lake Falls, MN. For some unknown reason, Mary still likes me.
- We watched a bald eagle fly over our property while we were washing dishes. It had a partially white head and tail, so Mary guessed it was a four-year old bird.
- Mary heard a four-wheeler in the woods west of our property this evening. Some goofball froze his buns off while hunting deer. Missouri's final deer hunting season is on right now, which is the alternative deer hunting season, when you can shoot a deer with a black powder rifle, a center-fired pistol, an airgun, or a spear-like device called an atlatl. This season ends on Jan. 6th, then there's bow hunting until Jan. 15th.
