April's Act of Contrition
April 21st through 27th   


April had sinned. The fourth month of the year's past transgressions included, but were not limited to, snow, cold, and ice. Sometime this week, April decided to become more like her upright sister May.


There was a bit of backsliding on Wednesday. Bad April. Naughty April.

Not all of April was wickedness, snow, and vice. There was also much needed rain. Only about a half an inch this week, but still. Rain!


Creeks and streams were swelled with sinful snow melt and righteous rain.
"Fifteen inches below the nail." We haven't said anything like that since June of 2007.

April's late change of heart blessed the lake with rising, smooth water and the pontoon crane guys.
The "Curse of the Unclean Jugs" was lifted by Sunday afternoon. That, plus the jugs were put away.

 Not everyone on the lake has become more virtuous. The deranged micro drone flying around the bar continues to frustrate the pilots and pester the thirsty.


Now that April has seen the light, it's time for the lake to show a simliar conversion. Fifteen inches below the nail and rising is good. Forty six degrees Fahrenheit is sinful. There is no small amount of debate whether this lake temperature constitutes a mortal sin or not. The few that have tasted the bitterly cold fruit of Lucerne's water on their skin are arguing on the side of venial. We didn't get the drone up this week due to April's reprehensible conduct early and a sinfully bad golf game later (the golf ball I used was clearly possessed.) We'll get the drone up next week for sure.
