Veterans' Day!

In this morning's O-D - an article about Waterville Marine Jeff Glod.



My husband remembers that when he was a little boy living in Danvers, Massachusetts, November 11th was a special day because at exactly eleven o'clock on the eleventh day of the eleventh month the fire siren would ring and all work and conversation would stop - for a minute or two of silent Remembrance. And, he says, "There's no reason why we shouldn't be doing that, still, today."



The sky above "Whiskey Hollow" at about 6:45 A.M.

There's an old saying

"Red Sky at Night, Sailors delight;
Red Sun in the Morning; Sailors take warning."


It's about 47 degrees with the sort of a breeze that will make it a good "drying day" - if you can get the drying done this morning!



"Scouting for Food" starts at 9:00.

The St. Bernard's Bazaar open at 9:00.


There's a little sign at the edge of Route 12 next to the exit
for the Paris Hill "Business District" that reads
"Spaghetti Supper, Nov. 11!"
(That sounds worth looking into!)


It's at the PARIS HILL Volunteer Fire Co.!
