Comments welcome

So it is nice to see that a few folks are looking at this thing and I hope that more will in the future. If you REALLY want to say something to us all go right ahead! If you want to remain a-nonny-mouse, sign a name that only you would recognize. If you want only ME to see it , put it in an email. My address is: elittle@verizon.net Keep talking folks! Look what happened with the one about the roads.It even got a reply from Thelma and I didn't even know she was computer literate! They must have some darn good computers in that "up here" place she was talking about. TTFN Everett

Don't get mad at us mice, unless we want to create our own blog, we only have the option of anonymous . I quess we could all come up with names only we would recognize, but that takes effort and imagination. Let us newbies get acquainted with this blog thing.

Watch out!

Well this looks like fun cap! Guess we'll have to add you to our blogs list for winter entertainment. Don't get on line much once the season starts and boats need to be made ready. Think we'll lose any plows in the drifts this year? This could be a big one. I think your right about more people attending council meetings. Course it'll be better once its somewhere other that that gd library. To late for New Years resolutions? Everybody try to attend at least one council meeting a month. Over and out for now. Check6

Hey Check 6, I'm ALWAYS looking behind to see if something big is gaining on me, so old Sachel Paige used to say. I'll bet before the night is over the road at the end of the runway, the one by Jim Murphys, and quite a few of the side roads will be hiding some, "claimed by the snow" vehicles. Just hope no one is in them. Now a good old storm like this reminds me of the good old days when I wasn't!! Old that is . Se eya on the road! Everett

Thanks for your mini-biography of Mary Jane Balser. I do not know her at all personally but have observed her at a few Town Council meetings...and she is truly impressive. Smart, knowledgeable, cuts right to the crux of the matter under discussion. So much has gone wrong under the last administration, I am counting on Mary Jane's competence and expertise to get the island back on the right track.

Reading about your wintery days reminds me of the years I lived there in the 1970's and how exciting it was when the T-room pond froze over like glass and Peter Blane would bring his car into the pasture at night and we would skate until the Brandy was gone. Can't find a pond that compares. Keep warm.

One of my first memories of the island is going out plowing in an old Dodge powerwagon with my new father-in-law. He'd clench down harder on his pipe the deeper drift or the more passes it'd take to clear it. Big storms were always a great source of local stories of heroics, good deeds and acheivements. Many of these stories percolated at the counter of the #1 Cafe. It'd be hard to park now where we used to line the trucks up then...there's a "mountain" in the way.
In just a few short hours the Island goes from the Bermuda of the north to the Greenland of the south. Still a lot of snow clogging up the works but its amazing what that sun can do given half a chance.

Looks like the groundhog saw his shadow and all the bloggers went back to sleep for six more weeks. Bet the head count is down a little bit this year. Hats off to anyone who Captains a ferry, delivers oil (or gas), or has the brass ones to surf on BI this time of year!
