Monday Morning at the Underground

It’s another pretty day up here in Mt. Shasta land, which leads me to wonder what’s headed our way this winter. In truth, we’re in a bit of a dry spell up here, with the usual 2″-3″ of rain normally seen since early summer falling elsewhere. (We’ve had none).

No need to go ringing the Gongs of Drought yet, but if you’re looking for things to worry about on a Monday, this one’s not bad.

And speaking of worry, the Underground is officially glad it’s not Ian Rutter, who - in addition to guiding almost every day in the month of October - is also putting the finishing touches on his new house, and then moving out of his old one by November 1.

Of course, it’s rude to make snide comments about the unfortunate timing of others, so we’re going to be helpful and suggest that Ian could accomplish all this only with the help of enormous quantities of caffeine, and this helpful Web site (via the Piton) will let him know exactly how much caffeine he can ingest before it kills him on the spot. (I can drink 620.45 cans of Barq’s Root Beer before toppling over.)

At the Underground, we’re all about the helping.

Hibernating

The astoundingly prolific folks over at the Fly Fishing in Yellowstone Park blog are threatening to blog on a weekly basis in the off season, and given the sheer tonnage of words produced over there this year, I’d say it’s a well earned hibernation. Give the digits a rest, and come back next year ready to hook and cook.

In the meantime, we’ll be looking for our weekly park fix.

As always, there’s more to come from the Underground. This is a writer’s week over here, and there are one or two articles in the works. Plus, there’s much more fishing right on the horizon. Time to have fall fun.
