Weather: A very mild Autumn in the Flathead Valley this year -- maybe a little too much rain for the wheat farmers though.

Wildlife: Deer, deer, and more deer -- I'm glad that our gardens are behind fences. The bucks still have their antlers.

In the Community: I'm running a data projector for a new PBS documentary about our area called The Fire Next Time. It is produced by a company called "The Working Group" out of Oakland, California.

I'll be at the Liberty Theater in Kalispell all Wednesday afternoon and evening, then in Columbia Falls at their Community Center, 235 Nucleus Avenue, from 5 P.M. onward.

Also on the night of Oct. 14 -- Harmonica wizard Norton Buffalo with slide guitarist Roy Rodgers -- I'm not sure I'll make it, but I'd like to be there!
