Garbage day, again!
It's "nippy" out, this morning ---- 40 degrees at 5:30 and now just a touch above 38 at 7 o'clock.
I apologise for the delay in posting: we - my computer and I - are experiencing the sort of technical difficulty (computer keeps turning off!) that can really ruin a day.
However................
I received the following "GOOD NEWS!" report just after the WCS Boys' Varsity Soccer Team's first game on the new WCS Playing Field, last evening:
"The Boys Varsity Soccer team faced off against Sauquoit at 7PM. The boys had practiced only once on the new field, about 4 hours earlier. The consensus was that it was "pretty awesome." It was very cool to see the "rubber pellets" described in Wednesday's paper flying up slightly every time the ball hit the field. It was difficult to see in the stands, but those standing next to the fence had a clear view. The team pronounced the field very much worth the wait.
Final score of the game was 3-2 after two tense/exciting double periods of overtime. Mickey Heuning scored in the first period, David Bridge scored in the second to tie the game. Late in the second 10 minute overtime period, Sophmore David Bridge scored the winning goal. "
(Thanks loads, Lori)
Elsewhere:
I also had E-mail from Nannette, TIOGA's "Jill of all trades" with the Light-ip-the-world" smile, who says she loves the new clock, is having trouble adjusting to the new traffic signal (aren't we all?!) and said that Debby was spotted on another TIOGA jobsite "getting ready to pick up a jack hammer!"
Besides getting the computer problem worked out, we have a sizable projerct for today: Carol Aldridge brought us a HEAP of old newspapers - including alot pof Waterville Times - that she and her husband had found underneath an old limoleum floor in their (the Welch Sisters') house on Madison Street. The Waterville copies we'll save, of course; those from Utica will no doubt be "dispatched."
Until I can get pictures from my camera to a computer, you'll have to go and see for yourselves: at Rancho Cerritos, the Alpaca Ranch north of Waterville, there are babies! So cute!!!!
(More when something happens!)
