MADISON AVENUE LIVES ON

TWO FERRIES CROSSING THE CHANNEL

Monday, 10:00 AM.  21 degrees F at the ferry dock, the same on the back porch.  Sky mostly clear, the sunshine bright.Wind variable and calm, humidity 84%.  The barometer is still falling slowly, now at 30.01". The forecast calls for a mild wintry mix of weather for the next week, with temperatures around freezing. I think this is our January thaw.
   The ferries continue to run but the ice buildup is considerable and the first ferries of the day, at least, go in tandem, a larger boat breaking the ice.  Continued traffic keeps the path from freezing solid during the day.
   Reminds me of that old jingle advertisement for Doublemint Gum, "Double your pleasure, double your fun." Madison Avenue lives on in my memory, unfortunately.
