Wednesday

It's Recyclables Day!

52.7 degrees;
soggy, but no precipitation right now.

From WKTV: "On Wednesday, with an upper level storm near by, we're going to have numerous showers develop across the region. There could be a little sunshine and we've optimistically placed highs around 60 degrees...but without the sun, we will not get out of the upper 50s. With the showers tomorrow, it's possible we could again see a few rumbles of thunder.
Thursday and Friday will both see the core of this upper level storm over us. Widespread showers are likely, though we do not feel either day will be a complete washout. In fact, Thursday may feature a little sunshine."

THANK YOU

Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Ford

Traffic was slow at the bottom of the Buell Avenue Hill on Route 315, yesterday, while the Village DPW worked to trace the source of and repair a water-line leak. It's possible that that they'll be back at work this morning, so be ready to slow down or STOP!

Near Hubbard's Corners on Route 12.

There's heavy traffic on Daytonville Road. This is why!



But also on Route 12: smiles!


If commuters decide to take the Deansboro/Clinton route, they'll see a new flagpole next to the Cleary driveway.


The design on the barn at Keyes Brook Farm on Route 12B is by Clinton sculptor Peter Michel.

This was in yesterday's mail!

"I havta toss in my 2 cents on Pughies vs Dunns. Arnold built the most modern new gas station in town, they used modern concrete ( not cinder ) blocks, which us kids never had seen before; he had two large white roll-around units, one to collect the oil during oil changes and the other for greasing the joints, new technogolgy in Waterville .

Pughie also had a new-fangled coke machine where you just inserted a nickel, pulled the lever, and the machine would rotate the "coke" to the position under the lift-up little door and you retriveD a cold coke from the ice water below. solid glass bottles, opener required.
....Dunns had an open cooler where you lifted the cover and selected a variety of drinks, including large bottles of Royal Crown -- ummm good -- and other drinks from Franklin Springs bottling co. etc. ...I forget, but good. Dunns also carried a big variety of candy, like Mary Janes ( Huh ? ) , which was a big drawer for kids.

I forget what I had for breakfast! gil condon (Thanks, Gil!)

Also this from Connie Bocko in re: the Mary Cleary Walk/Run ----
"Actually Ashley (Burback) was a winner, but not the winner. She won for her age group. The overall male winner was Mark Daley with a time of 17:44, the fastest female was Sharleen Farmer. The fastest Waterville residents were Ike and Jed Lamont at 4th and 5th place. Zach Abbe also placed in the top 10. Your readers can find all the results HERE."

(Thanks, Connie!)

Baseball's winding down for the season. The Redsox game against the Angels doesn't start 'til 10:00 PM, so the blog will no doubt be late, tomorrow morning!
