Madison, WI

Started walk at 6:25 a.m.

The sky was overcast and the temperature was mild. Yep! NEWS FLASH! Overcast skies! Maybe it will clear by the afternoon.

Yesterday's rain froze and left spotty patches of ice on the sidewalks.

A raccoon left paw prints on what little snow was left on the trail. Otherwise, animal and bird life was not visible with the exception of a few ducks and scattered crows.

Coffee -- Costa Rican -- Good. Muffin -- Oatmeal/Blueberry -- from the bread shop next door to the coffee shop. The muffin was hot right out of the oven -- moist -- good.
