Some Saturday stuff

The Weather Channel is forecasting showers during the daytime and isolated (or scattered) thunderstorms tonight with the same on tap for Sunday.





Fans of the New York Yankees will have to wait 'til a little after 1:00 this afternoon to watch more baseball, but that might be alright: yesterday's winning double-header (or twin bill) took a total of 8 hours and 42 minutes - Game 2, at 4 hours and 45 minutes was the longest nine-inning game in Major League history! Boston fans might not want to watch another ballgame EVER: in game 1 the Sox lost 12 - 4 and in Game 2 the score was 14 - 11.



To enjoy a non-competitive, thoroughly enjoyable "sport," head out to Chittening Pond at 8:30 this morning! The Rogers Conservation Center of Sherburne will sponsor a morning of canoeing and kayaking! (Unless there's an early thunderstorm and, in that case, they're sure to cancel or delay or postpone!) Kayaking has been my very favorite leisure activity for years, and alot of people have asked the same questions: "Does it take alot of work?" NO! - at least not on smaller lakes in good weather. "Do you roll over or fall out all the time?" NO! - today's leisure sport kayaks don't roll easily at all. And we always say, "If you get a chance" - like the one you have one this morning - " 'Try it! You'll like it!' "

The scenery won't be quite the same out at Chittening Pond as in this stock photograph, but paddling's fun, anywhere!
Can anyone tell me where the name "Chittening" came from?

The BOOK SALE at the Waterville Public Library continues, today, from 10:00 - 4:00 with an extra-bargain Bag Sale, too!

And tomorrow, there will be a Benefit for Bob Buell at the Oriskany Falls American Legion starting at noon.
