HEY BUDDY, THAT'S NOT A BIRD!


THE GATHERING STORM

BUDDY WATCHING KIDS TOBOGGANING ON WILSON AVE.
Monday, 9:00 AM.  24 degrees F at the ferry dock, 20 on the back porch.  Wind ESE, very gusty at times.  The sky is overcast, with gathering storm clouds.  The humidity is rising, now at 77%, and the barometer, now at 30.57", is falling like a stone, predicting snow tomorrow and Wednesday.
   I see the Almanac has  reached a milestone of sorts: over 200,000 page views since it first appeared in January of 2008.  I would be the first to admit that I still don't know why anyone reads it, but for better or worse, it satisfies my literary inclinations.
   Yesterday was a fine winter day, but a toboggan coasting down the hill on Wilson Ave. mystified Buddy, who saw it two blocks away and, true to his instincts, pointed it as it approached. 
   Hey Buddy, that's not a bird!
