Weekend Weather; Foggy-bottomed Saturday, snow in the night, and an alright wintery day on Sunday -- snow melting and an unobstructed view all around. The ice on Middle Foy's Lake grew a little, then shrank a bit. The shaded far-west end is a snow-covered shelf where the Canadian Honkers perch, while others swim and feed in the water.

Wildlife Report: A Great Blue Heron glided right past my deck yesterday morning. The ducks drove off a marauding eagle by staying in a watchful group, and making noise at the sight of the predator, instead of feeding alone.

Here's a composite website that I'm visiting every day -- free clicks for charity.
It's nice to know that "eyeballs" are still worth something!

Media Watch: CSpan1's Book Notes had Michael Moore as a guest on Sunday. Host Brian Lamb had some pointed questions for him, and Moore wasn't able to "do a performance." It was good to see Moore actually think first, then speak. He came off well, making his points about the book "Dude, Where's My Country?" I always thought that shallow stand-up comedy never served him well anyhow.
Hey! Look at this: Michael Moore is in the U.K. at the same time as Bush. Stay tooned for some PR nightmares:
Michael Moore: 'You need to show that the people of Britain don't support Bush'

The Hockaday Art Museum website was updated over the weekend. I took down my own image for Members Only on the EXHIBIT page, but that's alright, it is still included on the home page. One funny thing is that we are showing medieval manuscripts in a Power Point presentation in our Discovery Gallery
The upcoming holidays at the museum will be a flurry of snow, ice, and activity, but I'll deal with them in good time.
See for yourself! Hockaday Museum of Art

The "Native American Thanksgiving" is happening soon, with our most energetic Prof. Gerda Reeb taking on the responsibilities again this year. A group of Kootenay fancy-dancers, led by Stephen Small Salmon, were here a year ago, and it was a good ol' time. About 300 plus school kids had a great feed and a unique experience.
