QUIT COMPLAINING!

Rapid City got 6 inches of snow today which makes a total of 43.4 inches for the month!

RICHIE HAVENS

DEAD AT 72

One of the great blues singers of our time.  He'll be forever remembered as the opening act at Woodstock and for his 1971 hit, "Here Comes the Sun".



5 TO 9 INCHES OF SNOW

EXPECTED FOR

MINNEAPOLIS TONIGHT

FROM DUANE:

"About 7 inches of snow on my property.  Neighbor is scooping me out.  Clearing the decks and paths.

Hate this cold snow.  We've broken all records for April this year."

Parts of Minnesota, including the Twin Cities, are in for another big snow storm tomorrow.  The snow was ripping through Wyoming last night.

Angela writes from Worland, "This is what we woke up to this morning.  It was 55 yesterday with no snow on the ground.  It's still snowing pretty hard this morning."

I mentioned Round Rock doughnuts the other day.  A Texas doughnut that is supposed to be about the best doughnut you'll ever eat.

Donnie has a friend from Round Rock so he asked him about this tasty treat.

His friend replied,  "Round Rock glazed donuts are iconic in central Texas.  People love them.  The original bakery burned down about 10 years ago and they rebuilt a much nicer, larger building.

Most of their business is drive-through and the line to the window snakes around the block on most mornings.  On Saturdays the line is there from open to close."

Donnie adds, "Austinites are so sociable and trendy that they love to stand in line.  It's hard to get anything to eat on weekends because everyone in the city loves to go to the most popular cafes and stand in line for hours."

TONIGHT ON PBS

THE ROAD SHOW

FROM RAPID CITY

WORKOUT

GREAT WAY

TO START THE DAY



ANOTHER SHOOTOUT

FIVE DEAD IN SEATTLE THIS MORNING

WILL IT NEVER END UNTIL WE'RE ALL DEAD?

FROM DONNIE:

"Racoons have discovered our wildlife cafe, and have knocked two bird feeders to the ground to get at contents. 

Night-owl Linda spotted one at 2 a.m., in the tree right outside her window. 

We will have to scale back our hand-outs for a while to break the coon habit. They are cute, but destructive and dangerous. At least deer don't try to take up residence in attics."

Could there, actually, be an end to this long, long, winter?  I was just looking ahead to the weekend forecast and I see a high of 64 on Saturday and 67 on Sunday.

WHAT A PRECIOUS PICTURE!

Austin's motto is "Keep Austin Weird" so the bumper sticker for Dripping Springs makes perfect sense.

LAWN WORK AT THE BLAIRS

Lynne wrote, "Our lawn is in bad shape.  A fungus hit last summer so lots will be done in the next few weeks.  Happy they do the work and not us. 

We have a couple of  huge oak trees that will be coming down too.  They can't live forever."

A CHORUS LINE IS A WINNER

You know I can find fault with anything.  It really upsets me that I could find no fault with "A Chorus Line" at the new Webber
Center for the Performing Arts in La Crosse.  Both Rita and I agreed. We'd love to go back tomorrow and see it again.

The music was great, dancing was great, lighting was excellent and, of course, the story line is fantastic and that's why it was on Broadway for 15 years.

We can really be proud to have this caliber of theater in La Crosse.  Viterbo University has a super theater arts department and I shows in this fabulous production.  I wish you all could have seen it.

WAITING FOR LUNCH

I try to watch CBS Sunday Morning.  I gotta tell you.  Those folks at CBS are the most pretentious bunch of folks on the planet.

INDIANA IS HAVING A GOOFY SPRING TOO

I have shorts and long underwear coexisting in the same drawer right now. #Indiana #weather
