I took this two years ago and Walter was there again today. Same red shirt. He says the fishing is better now, especially with the high water today. [photo]

I am now sitting at my desk watching two bald eagles fly upstream, just passing over Argo Dam. First time for two at once and flying so low. Also seeing great blue herons just below the dam for the first time in 10 years in the wintertime, even below zero.

Always a lucky day when trains cross over one another. We need a pedestrian crossing here! [photo]

Soule & Madison

Today at Selma Cafe, having an incredible breakfast and talking with Alexander Jarosev, who said: “I find Ann Arbor cleaner, more decent, more affordable, a place with tastier food and superior civic architecture (not to mention more culturally vibrant) than Oxford, England – similar but no contest.” Alexander is a literature scholar and former archeologist from Oxford University.
