Odds 'n ends Downeast

The weather has been odd here of late: a serious thunderstorm late last evening with the attending lightshow. Quite impressive. Even more impressive was that several communities here on the eastern side of Frenchman's Bay, including Winter Harbor, lost power for several hours. Naturally this produced no small degree of difficulties here at Gerrish's. Fortunately the cafe was closed and Jessica, the manager, lives upstairs most of the time so she was here to shepherd the shutting down of the new computer system and keep an eye on the cold storage items.

Of course this meant she got little sleep. I'm on this morning as the "Sandwich Man" and Rosemary will be here and Susie of course along with Guzel so we should be able to manage for a few hours after opening.

Otherwise things are pretty normal here in Winter Harbor: plenty of fog to remind you where you live broken by stretches of absolutely, simply and utterly gorgeous weather. Of course nothing slows the sculptors out at Schoodic Point. They continue to make progress on turning those blocks of granite into ideas expressed in stone.
