| BULBS STILL BLOOMING IN THE GARDEN |

| CURBS OUT ON 6TH ST. |

| FOGGY MORNING |

| NEW SWEDISH BABY |
Thursday, 8:45 AM. 60 degrees F on the porch, 52 downtown. The wind is calm. The sky is overcast and it is quite foggy, and the fog horns are sounding. We got a bit more than .5" of rain last night, a welcome shower for the gardens. The barometer stands at 29.71" and the humidity is 97%. We likely will get additional rain.
The road construction through town is proceeding nicely, and the old curbing along 6th street is all removed and ready to be replaced.
I recently gained access to a great amount of firewood, dried slash, small logs etc. from logging on the Johnson property where I deer hunt. My old chain saw is a relic, without a modern safety chain brake, and I no longer use it, so I went to Axel's in Ashland yesterday and bought a new 16" Stihl saw, made in Sweden and just the right size and feel for what I want to do. But, when reading the operating manual there was a warning about chain saw spark plugs interfering with pacemakers. I have gotten so used to my pacemaker that I never gave it a thought.
I looked the subject up on the internet and the information was rather inconclusive, so I called the manufacturer, Boston Scientific, and was told that there should be no problem as long as the chain saw is kept at least 12" from the implanted device. So I am good to go, as I don't think I'll be carrying a running chain saw around in my arms, like a baby.
You make your children very nervous, father dear.
