Ending a Busy Week in Door County, WI




Busy week.  The good news is that progress was made on multiple fronts: the rock collection and many other things are unpacked, the new computer is doing OK right now, Vacation Bible School at St. Anthony's in Bartonville went well, and I think I am making some progress on a few things at work. Today we traveled to Wisconsin to pick up one of Kris's friends and now we are staying with Karen's dad in Door County, WI.  Got to see some drought-related sights along the way - dry grass, crops and trees, and grass-fire marks along the road.  The worst appeared to be between Rockford, IL, and Madison, WI.  I looked up some numbers recently: Austin, TX, reached its all time high of 112 for the second time last August.  Peoria's all time high was 113, set during an epic heat wave in July, 1936.  Green Bay's all time high was 104 (which Peoria reached on July 7 this year).  The high on Wednesday, July 18, tied the Peoria record for this date at 101.
