The latest cougar sighting comes from Stickney, an inner ring suburb mostly known for its massive wastewater treatment plant. I'm guessing it was actually a stray house cat looking for some radioactive fish bones.
Elsewhere, loons and ticks are returning to Minnesota. The loons haven't been able to leave southern Minnesota because the lakes to the north still are icebound at this late date.
Our weather has had its share of oddities along with the typical 20-degree north-south temperature gradients across the area. Yesterday's statewide low of 51 was in Carmi, 341 miles due south of here. Today's statewide high of 86 degrees was then 82 miles north of Carmi in Robinson. Ah, southeastern Illinois.
