If this past Saturday was the most Sundayish Saturday we can remember, then this may have been the most Saturdayish Wednesday we've had in a long time. I almost told Travalon to turn on the salsa program at four, which is on every Saturday afternoon. We drove out to Sauk to see if there were eagles, and there were eagles! Here are some photos that Travalon took.
I took this photo of two eagles wading in the river. Sorry that it's off-center, and the gull in the background is completely out of focus.
Somewhere in the VFW Park, an eyepiece fell off our binoculars, and by the time we found it in the middle of the road, it had been run over. We went to an outdoors store in downtown Sauk and bought another pair. We also had lunch at the new restaurant where the Blue Spoon used to be. Now it's called the Jaybird Cafe, but the menu is very similar. I would recommend it. The antiques shop we usually go to in Sauk was closed today, but another one was open, so Travalon bought two signs, and I bought a bracelet of angelfish made of abalone.
In the evening we went to the Badger Men's Basketball game. Davis had an excellent game and got a double-double, and a guy named Crowl also had an excellent game and was one rebound away from a double-double. They were playing Ma Hat's alma mater, and at first they were way ahead, but at the end they were only up by a few points, so it seemed very likely that the Redbirds could win. In the end the Badgers pulled it out and won by four points. When they were ahead by 25 earlier in the game, we didn't expect the ending to be so exciting!
On the way home we checked out some Christmas lights in a nearby neighborhood. For some reason inflatable creatures were big. This is one of two dragons we saw.
And here is a lizard with a Christmas tree.
And a polar bear with a penguin on top of it.
This is that house zoomed out, so you can see the whole thing.
Here I've zoomed in on the streetlamp.
And this is the same house from the side.
We thought what this house did with their windows was pretty cool.
But this house wins the prize in that neighborhood.
Travalon wondered where they keep all those things the rest of the year. Do they have an enormous storage shed in their backyard? We did go up to Waunakee to see a really impressive house up there, but they had turned their lights off tonight, although we could see they were still up. Come on, it's only the fifth of twelve days of Christmas! Everyone should still have their Christmas lights on! But in the park in Waunakee, it looks like they have completely taken the display down. Good thing we went earlier in December! Haven't these people ever heard of Epiphany? Or at least leave things up this week.
