Looking out the north window at the Western Wilhelm Outpost. We woke up to thunder, lightning, and 3 inches of fresh snow on Sunday morning. In defense of Unadilla Bill, we'll still have an early spring!

Continued get well wishes to Bev Crownover, Steve Kroese, and all others under the weather. A reminder to keep wearing those masks, even if you've had the first shot. Otoe County numbers just keep creeping up. We now have 7 deaths. (Southeast District Health Dept. show 124 active cases out of 1296 total cases, and 9 deaths).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since we had appointments in Nebraska City on Monday, we decided to drive down to Auburn and look at where they had the fire. It's east of the main intersection on Hwy #136 and it was still smoking heavily. Only one car was saved. Thankfully, no one was injured.
