First things first: a reader noted that the Christmas tree in Williston is thirteen feet taller and one ton heavier than the one in NYC. Just saying.
- From rockefellercenter:
- 75 feet tall and eleven tons
- from roundupweb:
- Williston's Colorado Blue Spruce was donated by Tiffany and Jason Brevik
- was cut down at 9th Street E and 3rd Avenue E
- they had been trying to donate the tree for three years; it's an old tree; risk of falling on their house
- the tree is 88 feet tall and weighs twelve tons
- it was downsized by about 20 feet to ensure stability in its holder
- it is located on the corner of 26th Street E and 2nd Avenue West
- that would be where the "bypass" intersects US Highway 2 north of "old Williston"
- you know, where Applebee's and a branch of First State Bank are located
- see photo here;
Texas hawk: maybe someone knows for sure, but my first guess -- this is a red-shouldered hawk outside our apartment.
I'm comparing it to this group of photos of hawks in the DFW area.

I was alerted to this story by "Outrun Change," a blog that is linked at the sidebar at the right.
I still maintain that blogs are one of the best ways to "scrapbook" for future generations.
