| ICE FLOWS ARE BEGINNING TO FORM ON THE CHANNEL'S WATERS |

| BUDDY ENJOYING A RUN ON THE BEACH |
 |
| BEYOND THE CALL OF VOLUNTEERING |
Wednesday, 8:30 AM. 19 degrees F at the ferry dock, 15 degrees on the back porch. Wind WSW, calm with intermittant strong gusts. The sky is mostly cloudy with a high overcast and it is beginning to snow. The humidity is 76% and the barometer is rising, now at 30.09". Ice flows have begun to form on the waters of the channel.
I am getting back to some semblance of normalcy after deer season, Thanksgiving, and a lot of travel. Mundane things like catching up on food shopping, prescriptions and getting Buddy some exercise have been in order. Now we enter another maintenance cycle, getting Joan's second cataract operation over with and then on to some of my issues.
But for the immediate present, Buddy had a good run on the beach yesterday and I again encountered the old-timer who plays his accordion while manning the Salvation Army donation bucket at the Washburn IGA. It is a charming scene, a glimpse back to a simpler, albeit harsher, era. Volunteering as he does is far beyond the call of duty, God Bless him, and coaxed a last fiver out of my pocket.
Besides, he plays a pretty good rendition of "Lily Marlene."
