Tuesday, September 4th/2007

- The forecast was calling for a low of 8 degrees, but it was 3 degrees when I went out at 6AM to do chores. Just about fire lighting weather as it was uncomfortably cold after my shower; in fact I saw smoke coming from a chimney in Riverfield on the way to work.
- During breakfast we watched a huge flock of starlings leaving the bush from Mrs. Pycocks. They flew out in a steady stream of 6 to 7 birds wide for a good five minutes. They came our way and landed in the trees around the house. There were so many of them that it reminded me of bats leaving a cage. Maybe this is how they migrate.
- Continued work on the ditching project with backhoe.
- Got three calls for scrap within the past week. God-damn full time teaching job gets in the way of all the important stuff I have to do.
