wedding, this time a .niece from
Edmonton, with my old lady running
in circles over gift, clothes, and all the
other garbage connected with wed-
dings.
Wanted to see Kim and grandboys
off for the north. Did you ever try to
get a hotel room in Toronto duringlthe
C.N.E.? Travel agent called twelve
hotels, and the only thing she could
come upwith was a deluxe double,
whatever that is, at $76 a night. A
little rich for the blood, what? A one-
night stand{we could hack, but we
wanted it for four. What would you
do? I won't tell.
So, all in all, the summer was a'big,
fat bore. Not any help was me with a
fat, arthritic foot when my wife was
it; and she with some kind of horrible
sore back when my foot was fit.
It didn't help that the lawnmower
went on the blink, and I flatly refused
to take it back to the robber who
charged me $55.00 to get it going last
time. "Let the dam' grass grow. That
way the neighbours won't be able to
see that I haven't painted .the falling -
down back porch."
Oh, it wasn't a total loss. I had a
serious ,chat with my contractor
neighbour about building a back deck
to the house to replace the tumbled
- heap of stones onto which, the French
windows presently permit access. We
may get it done next year. Neigh-
bour's too busy.
I called a guy twice to come and do
some brickwork. He'd be there for
sure. Haven't seen him yet.. Water
• tank in cellar began to leak. $200 for a
new one.
Sat by the hour, looking at 'cedar
summer furniture, stripped to a grey-
white by 'five years of weather, and
studied just how it would look when
sanded and stained and varnished.
It's' too late now to get it done this
year.
Read three hundred books. Wat-
ched three hundred third -run movies.
Almost blind from reading. Piles bad
from beer.
Man, am.I glad to be back to work!

Lake levels
declining
High water levels on
the Great Lakes declined
slightly last month, a
spokesman for
Environment Canada
said last week.
Dave Witherspoon of
the Great Lakes -St.
Lawrence study branch
of the department said an
earlier potential flood
threat predicted by the
U.S. Army , Corps of
Engineers won't occur.
"..,It would take extreme
precipitation to bring any
significant flooding."
A monthly lake -level
report shows all the
Great Lakes above last
year's generally high-
water marks and above
the 30 -year averages.
Witherspoon said while
each lake is about .3
metres under the record
levels that caused
devastating spring floods
in 1973, forecasters had
been concerned a series
of rainy months and fall
storms might cause
problem's.
"They (the lakes)
peaked in August and are
in the slow seasonal
decline."
. He said the lake levels
of St. Clair, Superior and
Ontario are expected to
be near normal by year's
end while Huron and Erie
would be above normal
"but not dangerously
high."
