Another great drive up to the UP--just a beautiful day.

It's somewhat unbelievable that Hurricane Katrina became a Category-4 hurricane as quickly as it did.  After soaking southern Florida, it will wreak havoc on the coast near New Orleans, LA.  So, as the sun is setting in picture perfect weather in Marquette, MI, New Orleans and other cities along the coast are bracing for the 100-MPH winds that will precede the main event of winds around 175-MPH.  Yikes.

I watching a few seagulls in the parking lot.  They are walking in front of the truck about 50-yards away.  I think they think I will leave them some food.  They are mistaken.  Another 50-yards on the side of the truck, a deer grazes in a field as the cricket or two chirps loudly.  And the fruit fly makes another fly-by in the truck cab.  I have no idea how a fruit fly made it into the truck.  I don't carry any fruit in the truck!  And it better not have flew off the McDonald's salad I ate either!  At any rate, Mr. Fruit Fly will be no more...soon.

Tomorrow I make 3-stops in Michigan and one in Wisconsin before heading home.

miles driven = 296

PostScript: Katrina actually became a Category5- hurricane before quieting down to a Cat-4.
