Several sources of weather information predict significant amounts of rain on the Parkway tonight and tomorrow. Even though, while out in a rainstorm, an old cowboy once told me, “Son, you ain’t sugar; you won’t melt!”, I think it best to cancel tomorrow’s cleanup of the UU Mile, and postpone it one week to Saturday, December 17. I’ll confirm that date late next week.

If you have a chance to take a walk on the Parkway in between the rains, you’re likely to see some beautiful sights, as I did two days ago. A young river otter was so intent on his breakfast that he allowed me very near; and a Great Egret posed for a peaceful scene.

I hope you have a delightful time wherever you may be this week!
