Well, it is definitely autumn here. I think the autumn foliage is already past its prime. We haven't had any frost yet, but we've been close and I don't think it will be long.

Last week, we had 4 inches of rain in about 36 hours. The ground was already pretty wet beforehand, so there was a lot of water around here. Old Business 51 in Rothschild was closed from Wausau Tile to Lignotech because of water over the road. Water was rushing from the river through the area where the bike path is (where Sarah and Dad went cross country skiing and Joanna and Janet rode their bikes to Briq's) and covering the road. It was doing the same thing on the other side of the river and there was water in all the low-lying area along the freeway and in the big pond thing that's always empty along that same bike path. The dam near Domtar had lots of boats and docks stuck in it, having been torn from their moorings. Many people had water in their basements, but not us, thank goodness!
