| No question about it--the weather in the KC area has turned distinctly Possum Trottish, and just in time! Lots of cold rain and even some wind. Perfect trotting conditions. So fine! |

| Orienteering at the west end of Clinton Lake. Not sure what the event was except that it wasn't the Kansas State Championships and that the fields were full of tall grass prairie. Fortunately the tall grass prairie wasn't infiltrated with infidel briars or even any just regular briars, and so the day did not go down as a bloody affair. It was windy with episodic light rains, but not cold, and so overall an improvement over the typical Trot weekend type weather.
For my efforts, I won some green tea powder goat butter soap--and that's no joke--which, according to the information printed on the packaging, promises to make showering with a member of the opposite sex unusually interesting! Now, that's a prize! |

| The choice came down to routing via Bentonville or via Farmingtonville, and I decided on the latter since I liked the idea of one last run at Hawn in 2007. |
Wednesday Nov 28 |
| run 1:18:00 [2] | |
| |
| A planned rest day was somewhat subverted by an invitation to go for a morning run with PG, which I happily accepted, but only after making sure the sticky blue headcups were going to be optional.
During the run I got lots of good tax tidbits like: "Don't declare deductions until you can see the whites of their eyes," and, "A centavo of tax deferred is a centavo saved," and, finally, a paraphrasing of Sherman: "Taxes are hell."
I'll have to admit I have no idea what a centavo is, but it still sounded good. |

| Rather than dissipating, the ominous golf troll vibe seems to be intensifying. I really prefer to forego consulting witch doctors, but that might be the wisest choice at this point. |

| I don't know what it is, but a somewhat ominous and alarming vibe just swept into the room. I just hope it doesn't involve some kind of troll doom or even golfing!
Possibly the mood is linked by the reports of somewhat skimpy snows from the Laramie Valley area. Snow amounts are growing slowly in the Snowies, but the latest intel from Happy Jack is that there's still not enough snow for grooming. The snow snakes must be writhing in frustration. |

| Intervals in the rain in the drought--hardly gets any better! |

| Mucho witch hazle blooming in PWF. A majority of the non-beech leaves are down now. It looks like with the New Climate if you want to run in "leaves off" conditions, it basically means a December timeframe. Amazing! |
