And MORE!!

It's Official:

Rick Garrett went to the trouble of tracking me down in Foodking, on Saturday, to tell me that
"The Deal is Off!"
and that
"Foodking is no longer on the market!"


It's a good sign!

Two gentlemen from Advanced Power & Light Electrical Contracting were out and around on Main Street, this morning, rifling through sheafs of plans and contemplating lamp bases. Dennis Jones, president of the company, said that indeed they expected the lamps "by the end of this month." He offered, "It'll look nice for the holidays!" and when I said I hoped that wintery weather wouldn't cause too much delay of installation, he grinned and said, "We're like the mailmen: 'neither rain nor sleet, nor.......' " So: things certainly are looking brighter!!

Not such a good sign? The Gallaghers' cows and the Brouillette cows were in agreement, earlier this afternoon. (WKTV News Channel 2 weather also forecast showers.)

Geese circled and then came in for a landing in a puddly field on Madison Street

where a hundred - or two - of their Canada Cousins were already camped.

R.F.B. saw Mr. Roger Gates, of Clinton, this morning, and phoned home with this news:

On Sunday morning at around 10:00,

take your camera to Skyline Drive in the vicinity of Reservoir Road.
A rare treat is in store, for that's when the horn will sound, the hounds will be loosed,
and scores of brightly-jacketed riders on magnificent horses will be off,
racing across the fields after them.

The "hunt" will be on and it's always a bright and beautiful sight to see.


To put a HUGELY bright SMILE
on someone's face, tomorrow morning,

wish Ann Ingersoll a
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
