The Beek from the Creek says: "Watch my new show - tomorrow - 9:30 - ABC"
wondering if Ti is beeking herself in front of a fire, i understand there was snow falling up on the tundra.
There was a foot of snow at Seven Springs yesterday. Some parts of the county got 8 or 9 inches.

The Saints may get roasted over this beeking news.
But I did get to put off the lawn mowing. Win-win.
