Tuesday

62.6 degrees F. Quite a noisy thunderstorm, after midnight, with some brief, but heavy, rain. An early-morning visitor looked in the kitchen window as if to say, "Do I smell coffee?"

The AccuWeatherforecast for today includes repeat performances during both afternoon and evening. It'll be steamy, at any rate. Consider spending some time (after 2:00) at the new Library enjoying the air conditioning!




There were no baseball games of note, yesterday, and the next performance at Glimmerglass will be on Saturday, at 8:00 P.M., when it's "The Pirates of Penzance." There may be a few Watervillians in the audience, that evening, but most of the rest are sure to be right here in town, watching the Firemen's Field Days PARADE!

The Waterville Central School Marching Band will, of course, be in the parade lineup, and someone suggested, yesterday, that time (65 - 70 seconds) be found - before, during or after the parade - for the band to perform the National Anthem for the benefit of all of us who wanted so much to see and hear them play it in Cleveland, last week.

And a question has been posed: "How far is 'the BLOG' traveling?" Katie Peck says a friend of hers in Georgia reads it; people in England read it. If YOU are in a location some great distance from "the Huddle," would you please e-mail me - homeinthehuddle@aol.com - and we'll publish the list. Thank you!
