Storm causes $1,500 damage
By Kathy Bromley
BLYTH - On September 23, residents here
experienced a thunderstorm that was too
close for comfort, as lightening struck in the
district.
Bowes Electronic had been struck -
lightening had hit the aerial and/or dish out-
side the business, and radios and televisions
plugged in at the time were deprived of any
power.
The lightening had went one step further,
as apparently approximatly three surroun-
ding neighbors had no use of their sets.
Damages at Bowes TV & Radio was
estimated at over $1,500.
Cleaning Up The Garden
I don't know about everyone, but I ani
sure that most will agree with me when I
say that I am so tired of hearing that four
letter word - R A I N. Myself, I can't com-
plain too much, unlike the farmers after all
of the hard work and money invested in this
year's crop.
Sunday, for a change, was actually sunny
and take advantage of it, we did. Normally,
at our residents, it is set aside as a day to
just sit back and enjoy, put everything off,
until the day that I detest getting up for -
Monday. But, being as the weather was on
our side, permitting us to enjoy the outdoors
for a change, we decided it was a good time
to take advantage of it.
Since the nice days seem few and far bet-
ween, we thought it to be an ideal time to
clean out the garden. After having pulled
the majority of the weeds (which did better
than anything else), we began digging the
potatoes. Unfortunately, the potatoes didn't
grow "worth a hill of beans", as most were
very small.It looks as though I'll have to
order ours for the winter this year.
What really has me baffled, though, is I
don't eve - ,recall having planted the mashed
potatoes MI left in the dirt.
Quote of the Week - Adolescence is the stage
in which teenagers mature and parents age
20 years.
