I walked over the bridge at lunch time for the first time in a long while. The whole community seems to be hunkered down for a long winter. Except for the work on the Leahy's old house there is little new construction. Last winter a number of big remodeling jobs were starting, this winter all is quiet on the waterfront. And so all is quiet on the business front for me. I looked in the Clipper today to see a half a page of contractor advertising. I wonder if I should add my name to it.

The wind is out of the northwest, it is cold but, once warmed up from the walk, not uncomfortable. There are a few people on the beach and on the bridge, but not many for a holiday.
