Monday Ole Aasand celebrated the anniversary of his birth. It appears
Ole celebrated the big event sitting on a chair in his front yard
watching cars pass by.
Ole didn't look a day over 79 when we passed by although the signs all
over town indicate he was just exactly that...... One day over 79,
that is.
==== HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLE ====
------------------------
The current temperature is 72 degrees.
Yesterdays H/L temperature was 73/39
Normal H//L temp on this date is 79/52
It was 97 degrees on this date in 1953

L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
-------------------------
Rain, wind and cool temperatures, combined with a few morning, and
several afternoon naps, all contributed to the noticeable reduction in
Walleye combining since our last visit.
Webster describes a walleye as a fish with large, glossy eyes. a North
American fresh-water perch. It doesn't mention the critters also tend to
be very close lipped at times as well..... and, it certainly should.
---------------------------
This trip home it's much easier to see that the street construction
crews have actually been working on them. And, the new blacktop surface
on the road thru Leistikow park is another major improvement.
The newly constructed "wooden" bridge across the peony beds in the park
also add much to the enjoyment of a trip thru Leistikow Park.
++++
The new exterior facade of the B & D Flooring and Carpet Cleaning
building is almost completed as well. With just a few touchup items here
and there and the installation of a brand new sign out front our son and
daughter-in-laws store will be added to the long list of refurbished
down-town Grafton business establishments.
++++
It doesn't appear, to me anyway, that Simonson's new Subway Sandwich
Shop will be completed in time to open for this years harvest season.
However, It should make it for spring planting. Especially if next
spring is as late as this one was.

Today, Sami and I share the very same hair style. He lost his hair in
one day, at the pet groomer and I lost most of mine, one hair at a time,
over a life time.
To me he still looks like a dog, while some say I look more like an old
goat.

Rumor has it there's a beautiful two story home on a corner lot in the
south end of Grafton for sale. I'm not sure I overheard right or not.
However, the guy said if anyone is interested you should talk to
him,...... or Tim,.... or something like that.
-----------------------------
Talking about beautiful, beautification, or simply making things look
better after effort. I understand the folks at the Walsh County Record
are looking for a few energetic individuals to paint the outside of
their building. Actually, I think I read it in the Walsh County Record
in the first place.
Anyway, I'm willing to bet there are at least a few energetic,
artistic, willing to paint a mural for free, individuals just looking
for such a wonderful opportunity. If you know of anyone with a paint
pallet and some free time, tell them to call the folks at the Walsh
County Record in Grafton.
Maybe some of the folks from the Grand Forks Herald would even be
willing to do it,...... for the publicity you know.

It's hard to believe it's almost sugarbeet harvest time again. A time
when former ACSC Vice President of agriculture Stew Bass would stand up
in front of company sugarbeet growers and say, "Well men, it's that time
of the year again. The time when each and every one of you would run
over your own mother,... for one more load of sugarbeets."
Evidently, that enthusiasm, at least to some degree, has carried over
into the grain harvest. Today, a young man driving a fully loaded grain
truck must have forgotten to slow down coming off of hiway 18 when
turning onto hiway 17. The truck rolled over on it's side spilling the
entire load across the hiway.
As I drove around the pile of grain scattered across the hiway I could
see the truck laying on it's side with a "almost" empty grain box.
However I could only imagine that the young man's
fruit-of-the-looms...... were very full,... of something.
Anyway, it is fall in the Red River Valley and harvest is in full
swing. Please drive careful and remember. Often, the folks you cast your
frustrations at for driving slow on the road are really only trying to
make a living,.......... for them and their families. While working hard
feeding us and our families.

The next few editions of the Gazette will be done in invisible ink.

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.
