FALL COLOR REPORT FOR WISCONSIN
Those leaves will start turning before we know it. If you want to know where the best color is in Wisconsin, this fall, click here FALL COLOR REPORT and save.
A NEW PHOTO AND A NOTE FROM DONNIE
We are now having to put on long-sleeves to sit on porch in a.m., at least till about 8:00. But still no sign nor hope of rain, ever. Thursday we took six loads of clothes to a Laundromat, to save well water at home. Things have changed in the Laundromat business. First, it is hard even to find one (we had to drive nearly 30 minutes). Then, the machines no longer take coins--we had to buy a card, a complicated vending-machine operation. And finally, of course, it is all much more expensive--almost $40 by the time we were done washing and drying.
I SAW AN ITEM IN THE NEW YORK TIMES TODAY
It says Google continuously uses enough electricity to provide power to 200,000 homes. Just think, if you took all the electric bills delivered to La Crosse homes and businesses each month it would be a drop in the bucket compared to Google's bill.
I can't even imagine numbers that big. It's like trying to, really, comprehend how many stars there are in the universe....or how much lye it takes to turn perfectly good fish into Jello. (Only Norwegians will understand that).
WHAT'S UP?
There must be someone doing something interesting this weekend but, if they are, I haven't heard about it.
My only news is that I woke up with an itchy toe. I don't see any bite or rash. I'll chalk it up to the fact that one of the symptoms of kidney disease is itchy skin and I've got that symptom down pat.
It's going to be a beautiful day so I might stroll downtown, this afternoon, and check out the benefit street party for the victims of the Jay Street fire. A part of 5th Avenue will be blocked off for the event. There will be a line-up of bands playing from noon to 8:00 PM. It's free but they're asking for donations.

JUST LOOK AT RITA AND ROGERS COLORFUL MAILBOX
Roger said, "Summers blossoms on the rise by the driveway." Those kids really know how to keep the place looking like a showcase all summer long and, just think, how it will look next year when Rita is retired. They'll both be able to spend all their time on the yard.
YUMMY!
This recipe contains everything that I can't eat but Chad's Slow Cooker Taco Soup recipe sure sounds good. Click here to check it out.
A GREAT TRIBUTE TO LES PAUL
Les Paul died a couple of years ago and, tomorrow, a dedication ceremony will be held at the Prairie Home Cemetary in Waukesha, where he's buried. A 500 square foot monument has been installed at his gravesite.
DID YOU KNOW?
It's legal to walk around nude, in public, in San Francisco but that could soon change. A city official wants to pass an ordinance that would require those folks to cover up with they enter a restaurant. I don't remember anyone walking around naked when I lived there. I must have been going to the wrong places.
