Wildlife: Looked like an Osprey was swooping over our lake this morning, but it got bigger and bigger, until it turned into a Bald Eagle. Whew!
It wasn't fishing, just looking around. I hope it leaves the ducklings alone.

Weather: A thunderstorm roared over the valley yesterday about 5:30 PM. It must have been the leading edge of a front, because the temperature rose significantly afterward, and it stayed warm all night.

Charity Alert: Anybody reading this needs oxygen as much as I do: The Rainforest Site: Help Save Our Rainforests!

In the Community: The Landscapes of Tom English and The Graceful Envelope opened last night at the Hockaday Museum of Art. The calligraphy workshop is moving forward, but Tom's plein aire classes are cancelled.

Howard and Maureine Jacobson also had an art-opening at the Kalispell Grand Hotel (I drove by to say HI, and see my work-buddy Jessica Jacobson.)
Joann Schadewitz, the manager, is president of the NW Historical Society, and a little bit of my work still remains on the hotel's site: Kalispell Grand Hotel

Media Watch: The C-Span bus was parked in Flathead Valley Community College's parking lot. I shot some video for our next Current Events show, and talked to some nice folks. Great mobile TV studio they have!
George Tenant resigned. Now the administration moonpies he was kissing up to should quit as well -- all of 'em.
