Wednesday evening I was heading down to the Red Room to take a few photos of the archery league in action. I was crossing the street and nobody stopped for me from the north nor the south. I waited until it was all clear to go across (in the intersection). I always say that people stop stopping for anyone in the cross walk after 5:00 p.m. Well, Sunday in church a fellow came up to me and confessed that he didn't stop for me in the intersection. But, to his credit, he said he didn't see me until he was going by me. My clothes were too dark - and they were. I have a pair of shoes that the soles glow in the dark and I wasn't wearing them that night - My bad!

The Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team had a huge win last weekend when they took down previously unbeaten and #2 ranked Michigan. They finally played a complete game and played the way they are capable of playing! Kudos to Cobb's own Greg Gard and company!

This Sunday the UW Badgers women's basketball team takes on Nebraska at the Kohl Center in Madison. This marks the return of Barneveld's own Hannah Whitish to play in Wisconsin. Hannah starts for the Cornhuskers. Former Dodgeville and Beaver Dam player, Kara Crowley, is on the Badgers squad!

With the eight inches of snow we got here, I wanted to show off the way I take care of snow. I have never run a snowblower. But, the person shown is not me!
