Afternoon Sweep

Hot and hazy coming over Hanover Hill, looking and feeling as if the AccuWeather forecast will be right....




...and steamy in Waterville, where traffic backs up badly at the Tyler Building.





The cause of the back-up is that TIOGA has put a new layer of blacktop on the Northbound lane all the way from the Car Wash to the point of Monument Park and, with five or six truckloads of asphalt mix waiting at CVS, it looked as if they were about to start paving the Southbound lane.

If you'll be coming into town before 6:00 P.M., prepare for a good long wait, somewhere. In my rearview mirror - parked in front of Stewart's - it looked as if traffic was stopped all the way to Foodking and even beyond.

But if you're coming into town on Stafford Avenue, from the North, don't worry about traffic for a minute: just slow down and smile at the sight of Father Tom's TOMATO PLANTS on the porch of the Rectory at St. Bernard's Church!



Have a good evening!
