Friday with add-on

Clarification:

the "Distress signal" indicates nothing more than a windy day oversight!

(I've really been searching for some new "news" this morning, but without any luck so far: perhaps something will pop up later on!)

It's Garbage Day!

47.5 degrees: balmy, with a magnificent sunrise!




From WKTV: "There are some areas of patchy fog this morning. Exercise caution on your way in to work. Other than that, it will stay quiet and quite mild today. High temperatures are expected to get into the low 60s by afternoon.
Clouds thicken up tonight as a storm system develops and moves into the region. Rain will begin before daybreak on Saturday and be with us on and off throughout much of the day. We may see some breaks late in the morning and early afternoon, before more rain moves in by the late afternoon. High temperatures will still be mild, with highs in the upper 50s.
This storm will usher in colder weather for Sunday, and this colder weather will be sticking around throughout next week."

I received an E-letter from Blair Raker, yesterday, in which he wrote: "I finally got to check out your blog (Our computers at work blocked access to it). It looks very professional and has lots of fun info. ............... I'm going to send a link to my commander as well as my supervisor. It was certainly a special night for me to return back home and see so many familiar faces. The audience was really having a great time and so were we!

The meal at Michael's was superb, which put us in a great mindset for the show. Thanks again and I hope we can come back to Waterville real soon!"

("The meal" to which Blair refers was provided by the Brothertown Music Boosters.)

I've learned that:

- the Fehlner-Peach family won the Music Boosters' Raffle for the "Wii Fit!"

- the space between the "Wheeler Block" and the Opera House is wide enough to accommodate a stairway which still runs from the third floor of the Wheeler Block all the way to the basement. No entrances from the first or second floors.



There was plenty of water for paddling in the pond at the foot of Grant Hill, yesterday,



and it looked almost like Springtime at Hanover Green.



However, on White Street, Santa's here!

Seen on Sanger Avenue - a bright new American flag that is hanging UPSIDE DOWN. This is, of course, a signal of "distress," and I suspect that in this case it is a political statement!

I'll try to get some clarification.

FOR THE RECORD

I did track down the "informational kiosk," yesterday: it was getting a coat of white paint in the Village Barn on Conger Avenue and will probably be appearing somewhere in the village quite soon! My photographs didn't do it justice, but you'll know it when you see it!



Have a great weekend, everyone!
