Tuesday

(Click image for historical information.)

*******************************
It's 49.8 and gray,
but there's no precipitation right now.

WKTV predicts that: "we'll start off mostly cloudy, with the potential for the overcast to persist east of Utica. Everyone should get into at least some sunshine through the morning and afternoon. Unfortunately, that will quickly be replaced with new clouds ahead of our next weather system: A cold front that will push toward the region (Tuesday) night. Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible late (Tuesday) afternoon, but especially (Tuesday) evening. There won't be a dramatic change behind this front, but gradually Wednesday and Thursday, we'll see changes.



It's rained for days! The Grant Hill pond hasn't had this much water in it since Springtime!



The DPW's Wayne Stanbro had the sweeper out, making use of the damp conditions that keep the dust down.


More Fall colors - these on Babbott Avenue South.



On Brothertown Road, just N. of Route 20.



Mrs. Zambri's home will look different without the big maple.

*******************

No: I don't know who the winners of the several Cruise-in competitions were ---
except (thanks to Judy Kartman) that Ashley Burback was the winner of the Mary Cleary Memorial Run/Walk.

And - thanks to Edie Eastman - the field behind her house is planted with Winter Wheat!


*******************************

And - speaking of wheat and rye - can anyone tell me the most-preferred brand of whiskey for making excellent "Manhattans?"

**********************

I've just received a nice long letter from Gil Condon who chimes in with memories of Coke and Candy at Pugh's and Dunn's gas sations! I'll print that tomorrow!!!

Several of us who follow Mark Masca's blog were really wondering what had happened to him: he hadn't been heard from since Hurrican Ike! But he's back!! Just being busy!

FOR THE RECORD

Have a Great Day, Everyone!
