We Now Resume Our Regularly Scheduled Program Already In Progress
After a brief mushroom break, it's back to the fall spectacle which is very nearly at peak. And despite three days of relatively constant rain, your intrepid reporter continues to dash about between the drops to document the scene for you more than deserving contacts. However, this has unfortunately put a damper (finally a truly appropriate use of the word) on some of the local annual events scheduled for this weekend, those being the apple and cranberry festivals. The rain, combined with 50F (10C) temps and 20 mph winds has also no doubt discouraged less than hardy travelers who make the trip to the Northwoods to view the color changes. This has caused concern amongst the local merchants who depend on the tourist trade to keep their coffers filled. I was going to recommend that they call their Congressman to see if he might filibuster the weather patterns, but then remembered that he is one of those responsible for the government currently being closed (regardless of weather), and thus unavailable to take any calls.
