Hey L R Mole!

When are you coming through town? I'm out of town until the 22nd and then I'm hosting the Mocha Cafe coffeehouse and open mike. there will be a mini gathering of 'catters there. You ought to come a long. PM for details.

And, yes, the ospreys still nest on the bridge onto Arrowsic. There are also breeding pairs on the pole coming in to Bath and a tree where Route 1 crosses the New Meadows River. In the summer the ospreys are as numerous as mosquitoes.

I woke this morning and my sheets were painted orange by the sunrise reflected from the clouds. I rolled over and looked out at the river to see an orange and blue mix of color reflected in the water and tinting the rocks on the other bank. As I watched a squadron of seagulls stroked past on their way down river to examine the fishing boats and fish packing plant.

Why would I want to live anywhere else?
