Cyr Plantation, Maine

Monday, 7:45 pm: A late blog! However, here I am. We’ve had lots to do outside today. The weather was just warm enough to make work comfortable, but still tiring. Hey, I am middle-aged, what can I say?

Our town is doing some heavy-duty work on our road; luckily not near our house. I think it will look like an unpaved version of an Interstate when our town’s maintenance person [yes that’s right – singular] is finished with the project. We do municipal improvements up here on a macro scale, with even smaller amounts of funding from a shrinking tax base.

I am listening to my shortwave radio and getting the latest scoop on soccer’s World Cup in Germany. If I remember right, the United States was beaten by Ghana and eliminated from competition. And the ever popular who’s killing who in the world, with what and for what reason. If Bozo wasn’t a registered trademark you know what I’d probably call them. I am not noted for diplomacy.
