Friday wrap-up

It seems to have been a very quiet day: the five- or six-person TIOGA crew (we say "person" because Nannette was on board!) continued topsoil maneuvers along the East side of Sanger Avenue.

There is always some excitement on Fridays: it's Fish Fry Day - a red letter occasion for many of us - and today gives baseball fans an occassion to develop red eyes from watching television for too long! (At 4 o'clock, in the bottom of the 7th, it's NYY 8 - Boston 3.) Game 2 of today's double-header begins at 8:05.

It almost seems as if there are as many people in Bouckville as there are at the Fenway (35,692) and although the main action is on the big field, the rows of crammed-together tents and crowds of browsers all along the sides of Route 20 from Madison westward provide plenty of action, color temptation for anyone just driving by.

Earlier today I received a batch of fantastic photographs taken by a friend who had been on a hot-air balloon ride last Sunday. I've written, begging permission to post the pictures for all of you to see, and will do so as soon as I get an affirmative reply! They are a grand treat!

It'll be an even more quiet day, tomorrow. We hope that all of you will have a fine weekend!
