The current temperature is 64 degrees.

It was 92 degrees on this date in 1998
Yesterday was as close to a perfect day as one could ever hope for.

The walleye harvest season, for me, is over. "The Walleye Combine" is
on it's trailer and out of the water marking the end of another
fantastic summer season at Arnesen's Rocky Point Resort.
As always, this summer at Rocky Point was filled with wonderful
memories of family and friends gathering together to share the beauty
and companionship that the Lord, most certainly, had in mind when he
fashioned the fabulous, fantastically picturesque, area we have come to
appreciated as Rocky Point on the south shores of northern Minnesota's
renowned Lake of the Woods.
Again this year, Pat and I enjoyed the, often referred to, permanent
residents of the Rocky Point community, and, as always we were pleased
to make the acquaintance of several new visitors as well.
It was especially gratifying for me on the last week of the summer to
be able to spend some time with Rick and Stephanie Ketttells and their
family. The Kettells own the Lakeside Resort & General Store on Table
Rock Lake near Branson Missouri. Although Rick has actually been to
Rocky Point Resort ice fishing. This year, the Kettells family decided
to spend their "vacation" at Rocky Point.
Unfortunately, high winds from hurricane Ike created some significant
damage to their Lakeside Resort and they had to return home a little
earlier than planned. I was assured, however, that they will be
returning next year, and, we will be planning a very special fishing
trip at that time.
P.S.
For those wondering how far it is from our motorhome to Rocky Points
South Park Beach. We put 1078 miles on the Ranger this summer. However,
unfortunately, I forgot to count the numbers of trips we made.
----------------------------
On our last trip around town I noticed Mac McFarlands brand new house
is already on it's foundation in the Lessard edition West of town.
I noticed too, that the "new" windows going into Simonson's new Subway
Sandwich Shop didn't have a Marvins Window sticker on them.
I noticed the house for sale sign was gone from in front of the former
Depuy / O'brien house on Western Ave. Someone told me this morning that
they "thought" it had been sold. (????)
And, I also noticed the house in the 1500 of Kittson has been reduced
in price. If anyone is looking for a nice house, on the south end of
Grafton, check that one out. Rumor has it it has everything "including
the kitchen sink". Right Hank?
Also, there seems to be more and more openings in the Leistikow Park
Campground, for those of you that would like to come and camp in one of
northestern North Dakota's nicest little campgrounds.
++++
Speaking of campgrounds. I would be remiss not to mention the wonderful
new campground facilities at Drayton. The folks in Drayton should be
commended for providing those of us with "homes with holding tanks" a
nice place to spend the night, and, a place to dump. If you know what I
mean.

I am pleased to welcome Dean Rinde, Cheri Nelson and Karen Pederson to
the Gazette family.

For those that never thought it could never happen. Richard actually
was the first one to get up and go to "work" this morning. As if that's
not enough, he even left Granny's before his brother Harlan.

If we were to believe "everything", every politician said, it might be
possible that we would be better off, without politicians.
Or so it seems to me.
I'm Gary and I approve that message [:-)

If, by chance, you know of a couple dozen individuals looking for
work. Tell them the several folks in the Grafton area would like to talk
to them ASAP.
