From the Desk of Bayou Earl: Family, Frost, and a Quiet Weekend
Saturday, January 31, 2026 Location: The Shreveport Cypress Swamp (Cabin HQ) Time: 04:00 AM CST
Good morning from the deep freeze.
It is currently 29°F outside the cabin window, but with that North wind blowing at 12 mph, it feels more like 19°F. We are definitely staying inside today.
For those tracking the sky with me this early morning:
The Moon you see out there now actually rose yesterday afternoon at 3:21 PM, and it is starting its descent. It will officially set this morning at 6:23 AM.
The Sun is due to rise at 7:10 AM to thaw us out a little, and it will set this evening at 5:47 PM.
Things are quiet here at the cabin, largely because we are all a bit under the weather. Me, Uncle Bill, Angela, the Monster Kids—even the new pet dragon—we’ve all got this lingering cough that just won’t quit.
Since the kids are out of school on break, we are taking this opportunity to just be a family. We're keeping the fire going, drinking hot tea, and resting up. Because of the family time and the "swamp crud" we're all fighting, I won't be writing as much this weekend. If you don't see a post from me, it’s just because I’m taking time off to be with the family and get us all healthy again.
Stay warm, stay safe, and we’ll catch you on the other side of the freeze.
Yours, Bayou Earl
