September 22, 2008 - Monday

Todays Gazette is brought to you by The Grafton Unity Medical Center.
If, the extremely professional staff at Grafton's Unity Medical Center
can't help you, you can rest assured, they will find someplace that
will.
-----------------------
The current temperature is 73 degrees
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 80/52
Normal H/L temp for this date is 67/42
It was 96 degrees on this date in 1936
We received .60 to .89 inches of moisture around the area from last
night rain event. The weatherperson says we can expect addition moisture
by tonight..... Maybe as much as a inch.
=========================
L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
-------------------------
Last nights rain will continue to keep the lawns green lush and green
beneath the beautiful shades of red, gold, orange and yellow.
This is the time of the year when a variety of evergreens can really
display their beauty in a well planned landscape.
-------------------------
There is still plenty of job openings in the area. If you know of
someone looking for work. I'll bet theres someone in our area that can
find it for them.
-------------------------
I am always surprise with the response I get whenever I send out the
"Goose Story". Most often I receive a simple "Thanks" or "interesting"
and sometimes I'm asked if I know, "why one side is longer than the
other". This time I received that question along with another
"interesting" theory in the same note from Norma. She wrote; >>>>
Hi Gary, greetings from sunny (hot) Arizona. We loved your goose
story. Jim asked if you know why one line of the geese formation is
longer then the other. Yup, your right, because one line has more
geese in it then the other!!!
We have been told that the hummingbirds "hitch" a ride under the
back feathers of the geese so we will be looking forward to seeing our
hummingbirds back here in Az soon. Love the spring and fall weather
here especially the fall!! Thanks for the Skeeterville Gazette news
from HOME! Norma and Jim Treptow <<<<
Thanks a million for caring and sharing Norma. I'm pretty sure we have
someone in the Gazette family that qualifies as a bird authority. Maybe
they can give credence to the hummingbird "hitch hiker" theory.
Personally, I've never talked to a goose hunter that has mentioned
getting "two birds with one stone" (pardon the pun).
---------------------------
If you happen to run across any really crafty people, between now and
the 27th. Tell them to bring their "stuff" to the Grafton Armory and
include it in the craft sale there next Saturday. It seems like someone
is always looking for another widget to put all their doohickies in.
----------------------------
If your going to eat out on the 30th anyway. Why not plan on going over
to Elmwood for a warm bowl of chili. You will be not only enjoy a
fabulous bowl of chili, it comes with some scrumptious cornbread. AND,
you will be able to enjoy your meal in some of the nicest surroundings
you could possibly find in the entire area.
Proceeds from the Chili Fest will go towards the maintenance of Elmwood
and the surrounding grounds.
----------------------------
I notice the Walsh County Record still has a fare amount of "wall
space" open for any aspiring young, or old, artists to display their
talents. Wouldn't it be great if someone would, or could, paint a
beautiful mural of a piece of Grafton's past there?
========================
GOTTA GO WORK ON MY DASH
========================


Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they
are,..... before it's too late.
