It's Friday night of the first weekend in November. The temperature is extremely cold and the leaves are almost all gone -- I guess winter is on the way although it's supposed to get back up into the high 50s later this week.
I'm in Rice Lake for the weekend -- Mom and I are both on laptops this evening. Had a good, uneventful drive over here but Mom and Dad weren't as lucky. They were in Turtle Lake this afternoon and, on the way home, had a traffic accident. Apparently, a personal vehicle was pulling a low trailer on which cut hunks of wood were loaded. One of the very large chunks of wood fell off onto the road, which Mom and Dad couldn't see because there was a car in front of them. That car swerved abruptly to miss the wood, leaving it right in the path of Mom's oncoming vehicle. They hit the wood and it caught under the vehicle. The police were called and it was clearly the other guy's fault. We have to take the car in tomorrow to be checked to make sure there's no damage underneath. No one was hurt, but it was stressful and cold and a TOTAL pain!
We had originally planned to go to Eau Claire shopping tomorrow, but will probably stay closer to home. We'll need to take the vehicle in to be checked, and will undertake a project at the house: going through all of the stuff stored on the shelves in the garage. We need to sort things and find Christmas decorations, etc. Might go shopping in Rice Lake later in the day.
