The lake level is not falling as fast as past autumns. I guess that's a good sign. All the rain last week put it up about an inch. Only about 2 feet to go. Nicolet Country Club's golf course was found to be in the best shape of the year on Sunday. We found the mood in Crandon to be a mixture of shock and sadness. There were still signs of out of town media lurking about. All the message boards in town had a comforting theme. I noticed a few small groups of locals huddled together, speaking in hushed tones, or not speaking at all. It may take a long while before the watery, haunted stares begin to fade.
