Tonight at 6 p.m. I'll be at Cañada College in Redwood City, CA, talking with Angie Coiro about Class Clown for Kepler's bookstore. Come on out! Or not! Either way I will continue to consider you to be a very close personal friend.

THE NEWS FROM ICELAND
Road repair just in time for ovine C-section
Farmers in Skagafjörður were trapped at home after the Héraðsvötn and Húseyjarhvísl rivers overflowed their banks. There was also a sharp increase in water levels at Goðafoss and Aldeyjarfoss in Bárðardalur.
The average flow of the Skjálfandafljót river at Aldeyjarfoss is 50 m³/s, but at its peak this week reached over sixteen times that.
Water flowed over the road further into Bárðardalur on Wednesday night....
Hlini Jón Gíslason, a farmer at Svartárkot at the innermost part of Bárðardalur, could waste no time when it became clear that the ewe Eldsnögg needed a caesarean and had to be driven for about an hour to Akureyri. It was fortunate, then, that the road had already been reopened.
The ewe and her brand-new lamb handled the car ride well, and the young lamb quickly made it to the udder once they were back in the shed.
This has been The News From Iceland.
