The first snow of the season lies upon the lawn, the temp stands at 22, predicted high is 32. (:-(
The electric car charger was being set up down town yesterday, it’s set up near the center of the village where the post office, town clerk’s office and the fire house are. The town hall and the soon (hopefully) to be reopened store across main street.
To illustrate the size of our little berg, Albany occupies about a mile (give or take) of VT rt. 14 with four side streets. The Black River marks the east boundary and the west boundary is the last house on New Street. (yes, there is an Old Street). (^.^)
As for me, you take Water Street cross the bridge over the river turn left (you’ll run into the hill if you don’t), I live about half way between the village and the center.
I hope you liked the little tour of my little town (of course it was just the village).
May your day be blessed and bright, and may I hear from you tomorrow.
Yesterday’s high was 35, and today it’s supposed to get all the way up to 52! Another wonderful Polar Coaster day. Tomorrow will be the same, but Sunday will be the snowy day.
Well, as long as we’re doing ‘tours’ of our villages… Helena is huge compared to Mark’s little place. In the outskirts there are some pretty cool street names: Bumsteer Road, Last Chance Gulch, Dogbone Rd, Franklin Mint Road, Alfalfa Rd, Happy Trail, and Grizz Ave to name a few.
Colorful.
We’ll be doing some more ‘winterizing’ today since it is so warm. Enjoy your day, Folks
Today will be a busy day. I have a follow up appointment to have my shingles outbreak checked. Then we will deliver an office chair to a friend and tonight’s card game. In the meantime I need to figure out what I’m going to take for food tonight and tomorrow’s Ladies to Ladies potluck. It’s kinda nice to be busy, though.
As long as we’re giving out odd street names, Vegas has some doozies: Tropicana, Flamingo and Desert Inn were all named after the casinos. The Desert Inn is long gone now. There’s a convention center in its place. Lamb and Gass were named after prominent citizens. (Ralph Lamb was the sheriff that combined the county with Las Vegas city police to create LV Metro PD. He was the lead character (played by Dennis Quaid) in a TV show about 60’s Vegas a few years back.)
Our beloved mayor is the wife of Oscar Goldman. He was an attorney for the mob back in the day and managed to morph himself into a popular mayor for as long as term limits allowed. When he left office his wife Caroline took over (yes, she was legally elected – twice now) and she’ll probably stay put until term limits catch up to her too. I’m not too sure, but I think Oscar will be eligible to run again when she’s done. They are extremely popular around here. He was even on CSI as himself once right after he left office.
Our weather forecast hasn’t changed any. Mid 70’s for the foreseeable future.
Since we’re on the subject, the streets in our village are all named for trees. Some examples are: Sweet Gum, Sassafras, Dogwood, Colorado Spruce, Elm, Walnut, Plantain, Spruce, Ash, Oak. I could go on and on, but it’s every street.
By the way, have I ever told you we live in the middle of an area known as the Big Thicket? Before the lumber business moved in back in the 1800s, it was actually a rain forest. Some of the towns reflect the heritage: Lumberton, Woodville, etc.

Good Brilliant Sunrise morning, Vagabonds,
Yesterday’s high was 35, and today it’s supposed to get all the way up to 52! Another wonderful Polar Coaster day. Tomorrow will be the same, but Sunday will be the snowy day.
Well, as long as we’re doing ‘tours’ of our villages… Helena is huge compared to Mark’s little place. In the outskirts there are some pretty cool street names: Bumsteer Road, Last Chance Gulch, Dogbone Rd, Franklin Mint Road, Alfalfa Rd, Happy Trail, and Grizz Ave to name a few.

We’ll be doing some more ‘winterizing’ today since it is so warm. Enjoy your day, Folks

Good morning, Vagabonds.
Today will be a busy day. I have a follow up appointment to have my shingles outbreak checked. Then we will deliver an office chair to a friend and tonight’s card game. In the meantime I need to figure out what I’m going to take for food tonight and tomorrow’s Ladies to Ladies potluck. It’s kinda nice to be busy, though.

Morning, Village!
Since we’re on the subject, the streets in our village are all named for trees. Some examples are: Sweet Gum, Sassafras, Dogwood, Colorado Spruce, Elm, Walnut, Plantain, Spruce, Ash, Oak. I could go on and on, but it’s every street.
