Wildlife: Golden Eye Ducks are swimming with their broods! They are so small, you could fit six ducklings in each hand.

Weather: A fairly wet weekend, with lots of snow in the mountains. The local news is obsessed with the opening of Going-To-The-Sun Road over Logan Pass in Glacier National Park this time of year.

In the Community: I had to tape The Elephant Man (play) twice. Nobody's gonna regret Thursday's show being consigned to digital oblivion -- Saturday was alright.

A congressmen complaining that they should be back at their "commands," while the generals claim ignorance of what's going on in their own army.

The rest of the Fab Five got him to cut his hair, and wear clean clothes, but Thom had the hardest job, as usual.
