Icy sheen

on the beaver pond at three o'clock this afternoon. I had gone up to Murray Basin earlier but Kiki will go only so far along that trail (extra).

       Today's memorial for President George H.W. Bush this morning was very moving. The eulogies by Sen. Alan Simpson, Brian Mulroney, and George W. were especially heartfelt, tempered with just the right amount of levity for so solemn an occasion.
