We took a walk around town yesterday and wore orange since it was the first day of deer season. Later in the day a seaplane landed on the lake and tied up at the docks so we went down. It was a dentist from Machias that I had graduated from high school with in Erie, Jim Sparaga. I was on the Prep swim team with him and his identical twin, John who is a dentist in Anchorage, Ak. Jim asys they are now Bi-polar twins. I haven't seen him since graduation so it was nice catching up. Since I was 5-6 when I last saw him and am 6-5 now he did't recognize me at first, but it didn't take long. They were forecasting 9 to 14 inches of snow last night and we prepared for the worst but it never came. We probably had 4 inches but not much stuck except on the cars and roofs. Since it was wet in the woods, Steve lit one of his burn piles. We got a message from the Schweds back home to say they had a heavy wet snow, there were a number of branches down and the power had been out for 28 hours, but no real damage.
