Dark skies, but no rain, great day to buy raffle tickets. Not a great day for the car below as it was rear ended and pushed under UPS Tom’s truck.  The car that struck it went on, air bag employed and sideswiped 3 parked cars. The driver sent off to Munson in an ambulance.  I arrived after the fact and only know… Read more »

  And then the sky turned gray because rain is on it’s way.  At least we hope it’s on it’s way.  Unfortunately there is a meteor shower tonight.  The Leland sidewalk sale in progress.  Busy times.

Another one of those day after day days.  We passed the time away this morning as we always do, on Van’s Beach.  There were times in the past that we referred to the beach as Hall’s Beach or Taylor’s Beach. This afternoon, Biscuit and I made a visit to Chateau Fontaine, one of our favorite stops.

Vol XVI – #129 – Great to Be Here

  Today’s report is by Jim. Even when it’s dark, the color of the sunset lingers. Most people leave, but I stay because a camera, with a long exposure set, can capture color that is not visible to the eye. It smooths out waves, draws out clouds and simplifies chaos. It doesn’t matter when you’re there, this is Happy Hour… Read more »

One of those days that’s just like so many of the other days… On the warm side with clear skies and light wind off Big Blue. The old courthouse and jail property has been cleaned up and is ready for a development.  Eight nice sized lots for sale.  Not sure, but I remember that the original proposal had 17 or 18… Read more »
