June Gloom!

It's a real thing!  I know it's like a old saying and how the weather gets gloomy in June when it's the Summer time but this whole last week, nothing but overcast every day (almost) and it kept the temps to the high 60's up till almost noon.  There is forecasts of rain for the upcoming week, if so that will be a nice surprise and refresh for us.  Rain is always welcome and the more the better as we continue to be in our drought with no hope of recovery ...

Weekly Update:
I was driving around a little bit this past weekend and I saw the dreaded firework stands starting to be put up.  Not open yet but the structures are in and I guess they will be open and selling soon.  Can we maybe skip them this year because of the dumb people who have been firing them off every night since Memorial Day?  Can we just get a break from them not going off at 1 and 4 AM in the morning, scaring all the dogs and waking me up.  Not because of the noise but trying to calm down my dog who is terrified of them and I know I am not the only one.  These are probably the same people who don't wear masks when out in public and do not care about anything but themselves.  Simply selfish, irresponsible and also illegal when it's not on a designated day (4th of July).

At the movies:
Due to theatres being closed for the time being, no new updates for movies at this time.

The Palace Theatre in Lake Placid, NY.  This historic theatre has been around since 1926, it was once advertised as "The Pride of the Great North Woods." In it's earlier days, it was home to recitals, vaudeville acts and silent movies.  Now a four-screen theatre, it shows everything from first run to festivals and classic films (along with other events and celebrations).

Quote of the week:
"The home is the chief school of human virtues." - William Ellery Channing.

Facts & Tips:
John Quincy Adams regularly skinny-dipped in the Potomac River.

"Do not anger the big kids! They'll kill us, make jewelry out of our bones and then sell them at craft fairs!  I do not want to end up around the neck of a middle-aged woman in a jean skirt!" Sierra McCormick as Olive Doyle in the TV series Disney's "A.N.T. Farm."
