Todays Gazette is brought to you by all of the wonderful people
that work very hard to support their local business community.

The current temperature is 61 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 58/41
Normal H/L temp on this date is 77/52
It was 99 degrees on this date in 1999
If you think global warming is an issue. What do you think
about all the hot air coming out of Washington, D.C.? AND,.. would a 98
million dollar increase in your net worth help you think differently?
One thing is for certain, it wasn't global cooling that started
melting the glaciers on the north American continent 12,000 years ago.

L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
-------------------------------
Simonson's are at it again. This time they are tearing up the
concrete around the gas pumps in front of the Simonson Gas Station and
Convenience Store just across the "former" alley from their new Subway
Sandwich, Gasoline and Convenience Store.
I could hardly believe my eyes Tuesday when I passed by and saw
all of the activity going on in front of Simonson's Station Store. Not
only a large assortment of equipment was evident on site, a whole covey
of people could be seen scurrying around the new job site as well. It
appears the folks at Simonson's didn't think the cement on the south
side of the stations pumps would pass the "good enough" test.
Yup,.... Simonson's are doing it again,.... they are spending
another very significant amount of money upgrading and improving another
one of their Grafton facilities. I'm not sure what the new facade will
look like, I haven't seen the drawings. However, one thing is almost
absolutely certain. Whatever the Simonson's are planning to do, the end
result will be a wonderful improvement to the overall appearance of the
Grafton Business Community.
Unfortunately,...... once again, as was the case with the
Simonson's Subway project just across the "former" alley. The absence of
any local contractors is painfully evident as one drives by their latest
project.
Evidently the management or driving force behind Simonson's latest
project has found a way to garner our areas monetary assets while
circumventing the old adage, what goes around comes around,... you
scratch my back and I'll scratch yours,... what's good for the goose is
good for the gander,...
AND,... perhaps the old adage I like best of all. If you don't buy
local, there soon won't be a local to buy from you.
Or so it seems to me.

Have you noticed how many things a fellow named OBO is
offering for sale lately?
-----------------------------------
Rumor has it the giant boom truck hoisting junk up and down from
the roof of the former Grafton National Bank building is part of the
Skinner Roofing operation. Evidently, some of the light coming
thru the roof of that building wasn't coming thru skylights.
------------------------------------
Speaking of sales, and all things that are. I noticed another SOLD
sign on the top of one of Country Realty's House for sale signs. (It's
buying local and selling local, that keeps local,....... local.
