Catching up
A few random Wednesday thoughts:
1. I see that leaves are starting to fall from trees around town. Most of the leaves on the trees in my yard, however, are still green. I already have visions of piles of leaves on top of a foot of snow.
2. There were a couple of good articles relating to Cambridge Springs in the Meadville Tribune recently: one on a reunion for alumni and staff of Alliance College at the Riverside, and another on Cambridge Springs Elementary School sixth graders who are volunteering at the local Golden Living Center (aka the old folks' home).
3. The Tribune also reports that, somehow, the official book of ordinances for the borough of Venango has been lost. No one seems to be quite sure how or when it was lost, but it is indeed missing. My theory is that someone attempted to throw the book at someone else and missed completely. The book then landed in French Creek and was never seen again. (Note to local governments: these types of things really need to be digitized and backed up off-site somewhere.)
4. I don't like sending $52.81 to Coaxial Cable each month for channels that skip and stutter way too often. I've found that I'm watching a lot more programs online for free from the TV networks' web sites, since I can watch them at my convenience without having to pay Coaxial for DVR service. I wonder if it's time to put up a rooftop antenna and start pulling in things over the air. It sounds like a lot of work, though.
