Thoroughly Wet Thursday

First things First!

Scroll down for "Special Greeting!!!!!!!"

It's Garbage Day!

37.5 degrees, raining hard, and

Big Creek is roaring.



According to WKTV, several roads are closed,
including --French Road in Kirkland from Rt. 5 to White Street
--State Rt. 5 in Schuyler from Millers Grove to North Frankfort Bridge

WKTV has a page about Flood Warnings, and their Weather Bloggers are talking about Ice Jams and then a Snowstorm.

You know that "bug" that's been going around? Well, it bit 80% of the cast of "Joseph's Technicolor Dreamcoat" and the Broadway Theater League had to cancel recent performances: a first. Efforts are under way, however, to reschedule the performances before the Stanley Theater closes for it's huge construction project.

Locally - a motorist driving through Waterville yesterday afternoon took time to telephone and report that:

THE CLOCK IS ON TIME!

*******

And, finally - the definitive answer to the question, "Who knows whose nose that is?" from a blog-reader whose name shall be witheld for what may be obvious reasons.
(At least it seems the considerate thing to do!)

"Many years ago when the first settlers came to this area they were trying to convert the Indians to Christianity. One indian became know as the Holy Indian. He would perform marriages and baptise babies. He would even bless the farm animals for all the farmers in the area. As a matter of fact this is where we get the saying Holy Cow. He would also bless the fertilizer the farmers used on their crops, thus came the saying holy fertilizer. This man lived in Forge Hollow, and he became so well known for his blessing, that people called him Pope Daniel and thus came the name of the curve in the road. Most people don't know this story but I know it to be fact, because it was told to me by a Seminole Indian who settled in this area after getting lost while alligator hunting. I hope this clears up the confusion."
