On to the views from the White Pass RR.Have some company this morning and I've gotten quite a kick out of him! He's always got interesting tales to tell and has his own way with words. This is Puppy's Pop's friend from the remote control plane era who stopped in for a couple of hours. It was enlightening, as always. I couldn't help but laugh at some of his trials and tribulations. I know some of the stories aren't funny but they still tickled my fancy. His wife is still working for Killingly Schools and plans to retire after she has a chance to work in the NEW high school which will open next fall. She's got lots of Moxie. I could never have made it that long.
I was going to do a good house cleaning today and some food shopping but I'm off kilter with the visit so I'll just play it all by ear. Have a haircut at 1pm and then perhaps Puppy's Pop will go flying and I'll go walking. He was going to East Hartford for horseshoes this morning but that's been put off as it's now too late. They're still in the kitchen talking away! Wish I had a recorder going!
Almost forgot. I saw a shooting star last night. How cool is that. I'm going to try to remember to go out as soon as it gets dark and look in the East because we're supposed to be able to see a whole mess of meteorites early. This is the Leonids meteor shower. The peak is supposed to bring up to 500 meteors an hour but viewers in Asia will have the best look. This is the debris left by the comet Tempel-Tuttle and should show up in the constellation Leo. I hope I don't forget.
