12/03/09 PORTENTS OF THINGS TO COME

CHRISTMAS IS COMING
OLY OLSEN, THE BARBER OF BAYFIELD
ANY FURTHER NORTH AND YOU'LL GET YOUR FEET WET

Wednesday, 8:00 AM. 20 degrees, wind W, very light. The channel is crawling slightly, the sky is partly overcast with dark clouds and the barometer predicts sunshine. There is a very light dusting of snow on roads and rooftops. It is the coldest morning so far this season, a portent of things to come.
I guess I am not too early with Christmas decorations, as the Bonney's, on the corner of 8th and Mannypenny, have their crèche up. It looks really nice, unless the poor Holy Family is sitting in three feet of snow.
Thinking of the upcoming holidays, I went to Oly’s Barbershop yesterday afternoon and got a haircut. Here’s Oly, AKA Kenneth Olsen, outside of Wisconsin’s Northernmost Barbershop two blocks down Old Military Street from our house.
