I suggest you pull on your mittens and skis and glide on over to Barnes Park right away.  Weatherman Bruce Laidlaw informs me that the Mad Trail Groomer has been at work again, and Bruce should know.    Isn’t that inviting?  Don’t dillydally.  You never know how long a good patch of snow is going to […]

Letter from the Weatherman: The bay in autumn light

October 6, 2009

Bruce Laidlaw sent the most wonderful email on Monday. He captured exactly what the light is like on the Bay at this time of year. He wrote: Didn’t see much sunshine yesterday, but the sun popped out at sunset and lit up the waves. And the moon made an appearance at sunrise. You see why […]

Letters from Bruce: Tiger in the garden

April 27, 2009

Bruce Laidlaw, a/k/a the Weatherman, is painting the fence today. He writes:  Tiger is a big strong cat who is only allowed outside on a leash. Even in the fenced garden he must be supervised because fences only slow him down slightly. On Friday morning, he was poking around in the garden when a deer was […]
