We got a quarter inch of ice Friday morning and it is STILL HERE on Saturday night. It just has not warmed up enough. It is so pretty and I have taken LOTS of pictures, but there has been some damage with downed power lines and branches. We lost power for a little while on Friday morning; 9000 customers are still without power tonight. Tomorrow it's supposed to be windy, which could wreak havok on the already heavily laden trees and lines. Lots of church services and other events are being canceled in anticipation of the wind, iciness, and cold. It should be interesting.
In other news, Bradley had its December graduation this morning (marking the "end" of a long semester) and the keynote speaker was Patrick Fitzgerald. He is the nationally famous U.S. District Attorney involved in terrorism cases, taking down Governor Ryan, and now going after Governor Blagojevich. He was scheduled as a speaker well before the whole Blagojevich thing, but it certainly made people more interested in what he was going to say. Of course, he did not say anything about the case, but he spent his ten minutes touting public service as a very rewarding career path.
