Zero degrees Fahrenheit! March officially came in like a lion -- %$#@! I hope it won't be lyin' when it's supposed to go out like a lamb. I talked with Montana Fish and Wildlife yesterday about who is supposed to remove those Deer carcasses next to Buckboard Lane. The Magpies like having them there, but nobody else does.
Spin-offs, wrecks, and snowslides in the local area yesterday -- nobody died, but vehicles can kill people as well as animals.

In The Community: I did a presentation about Footsbarn 35 to our Theater 101 class on Wednesday -- Microsoft Vista caused some problems, but we overcame them. My main point was: Theater goes on all over the globe, it is a vital component of human culture in every country. Everyone hears about Broadway, Las Vegas, or even the West End of London, but it happens everywhere else too.

Media Watch: Tony Dovolani and Elena Grinenko came in second place (again) on PBS' America's Ballroom Challenge. The winners were Jonathan Wilkins and Katusha Demidova. The latter couple also did the best dances on that particular program, with the best music. Tony's celebrity dance partner, Stacy Kiebler, was recently on an episode of the George Lopez sitcom too. Getting out of the sleazy world of pro wrestling will be good for her.
