Signs like these explain a bit about politics south of Waterville.
Scary creatures and bright pumpkins.......
........... decorate homes along Mason Road.

I stopped to take a picture of what - in other circumstances - could look like a serious case of misconfiguration, but which - here - is the result of lots and lots of practise!
In the center of N. Brookfield, the church is getting a sparkling coat of white paint with pretty blue trim by the boys in the Green Van.

Another new paint job - this one on Bogan Road. Jim Bogan spends his summers as a member of Bill Vetter's fine house-painting crew. He said that this past Summer they painted so many houses just plain white that he used his days off to paint his home his colors: Plum and Terra Cotta!
Just about the same colors as the leaves on the oak trees in front of Lovina Staring's home on White Street.**************
This will never replace going to the Drive-in movies, but the new Laser Wash at the is pretty exciting! I'd had a chance to "test drive" the apparatus a few days ago, but went back again, yesterday, to use it for real.
You start out at something like a drive-through ATM machine, but this one talks! The instructions are easy to follow: insert either cash or a credit card and "she" tells you how to choose what you want done and then gives you your change. I gave "her" a $10 and asked for the $9-Premium wash and she gave me back $1.

The doors open and the light turns green.
Before you're hardly inside, you're thoroughly doused!
A red arrow tells you when to STOP.
Two generous sudsings take place, then a rinse, and then confetti-colored suds are splashed all over your car.
A final rinse, and then .........
... super-sized blowers move back and forth air-drying your car.
The doors open; the arrow turns green, and you're done!
I'll go back, today, and use the new Vacuum Cleaner. They say it'll "take the carpet right off the floor!" We'll see!
