Weather and Michigan Plans

Rantoul, IL.
69 deg. partly cloudy, NW wind @ 5 mph.
Forecast today = high temp. 94 deg. mostly cloudy with a 70% chance of rain and t-storms. SW wind @ 10 to 15 mph.

The weather is still the big news around here. It was very hot again yesterday with high humidity and not a whole lot of wind to help it feel cooler. Then yesterday evening, there were multiple reports of tornadoes just North of here with quite a bit of damage and power outages. Today the weather people are forecasting more of the same for the next 2 days!! :-(

Jim has still been researching campgrounds and things to see and do up in Michigan, and he and Linda have decided that we'll head up there after the family reunion in Wisconsin. In fact, because it'll be right in the middle of the tourist season when we'll be going up there, he made reservations for a week at a CG up on the Keweenaw Peninsula, which protrudes up into Lake Superior. The CG sounds neat, and the man that Jim talked to said that he would put me on a site with a nice view of the lake. :-) There's also supposed to be some neat drives to take CLT (Cute Little Truck) on, and things to see, so it should be a fun week. :-)

For dinner, Jim and Linda took CLT and headed over to the Red Wheel Restaurant last night. Again, the food was good, but nothing special. I think they've both decided that the food is better at the restaurant over in Fisher, but it's about 12 miles from here, where the Red Wheel is just on the other side of town.

Did you know that Mark Twain first learned to ride a bicycle at age 55?
