Monday

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

It's Garbage Day!

44.4 degrees and drippy.

WKTV predicts that: "Most of the day should remain dry but we run the risk of a passing shower at any point. The high of 52 will be earlier in the day, as colder air is expected to funnel into the region by afternoon.
Another shot of colder air makes its way into region Monday night. With plenty of cold air aloft, lake effect precipitation will start to organize Monday night, but with a due north wind, most of the lake effect will fall west of our viewing area. As we head towards Tuesday, a strong storm will develop in the Atlantic Ocean. While the jury is still out to how exactly this storm will impact our weather, at the very least it will crank up the winds over our area. Winds will shift into the northwest and that will allow for a potential high impact lake effect event here Tuesday and Wednesday."

Ouch!

Game 5 tonight at 8:00 on Fox.

I'm even more sorry for our WCS Varsity Soccer players, their families and fans: the Girls Varsity Soccer team lost to Thousand Island 1-0 on Friday afternoon and the Boys' Varsity Soccer team lost to Tully 2 - Friday night.

But it was a good season! Thank you for trying so hard!

Utica College's "Pioneers" fell to Fredonia State in the second of a two-night series in which the first game was tied.



More and more pumpkins and cornstalks ...... these on Osborn Avenue .....


............ plus a scarecrow and cobwebs on Barton Avenue.

The Rotary Club Hallowe'en Party

Thursday night at Memorial Park School.

On Stafford Avenue, the "Bigelow House," which is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Delmar Barnes, has a sparkling new coat of white paint and yesterday afternoon new black shutters were being put in place.


Up in the Park: how can the forms for the foundation walls of a bandstand look like such a complex contraption?

Brouillette Road is always on my afternoon "tour" and from now on I'll be sure to stop and chat with this llama, whom I'd never seen before! She/he was much more inquisitive and friendly than the alpaca at "Rancho Cerritos" ever are!

FOR THE RECORD

Draw your own conclusions:

I drove along ALL of the streets within the Village of Waterville, yesterday, counting political posters on front lawns, and found:

- half-a-dozen or so each for Senator Dave Valesky and Congressman Michael Arcuri;

a few for Assemblyman Bill Magee and Judge Murad,

but only

THREE posters for the OBAMA/BIDEN Presidential ticket

and

ONE for McCAIN/PALIN.
