It's Garbage Day
47 degrees and clear at 6:00
The WKTV Weather Forecast: "High pressure remains in control for today. Sunshine plus warmer temperatures today with highs in the low 80s. Not as cool tonight, with lows in the mid 50s.
A weak cold front will give us some extra clouds and maybe a brief sprinkle late Friday. Temperatures will be hot though, with highs approaching the upper 80s.
Cooler, drier weather expected this weekend.
We're continuing to follow Tropical Storm Isaac as it drops heavy rainfall and causes flooding in Louisiana. This storm system will slowly move northeast and weaken. The leftovers of Isaac will team up with a cold front and bring us thunderstorms late Monday into Tuesday."

Cadet Brady James Carroll
| "WEST POINT, N.Y. – Cadet Brady James Carroll, son of Mr. Glen Carroll of Waterville, N.Y. and Bonnie Raschella of Clinton, N.Y., completed Cadet Basic Training at the U.S. Military Academy.
Carroll entered West Point on July 2 and has successfully completed six weeks of CBT. CBT is one of the most challenging events a cadet will encounter over the course of their four years at the academy.
The initial military training program provides cadets with basic skills to instill discipline, pride, cohesion, confidence and a high sense of duty to prepare them for entry into the Corps of Cadets. Areas of summer instruction included first aid, mountaineering, hand grenades, rifle marksmanship and nuclear, biological, and chemical training.
Carroll began classes Aug. 20. The West Point curriculum offers 37 majors balancing physical sciences and engineering with humanities and social sciences leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.
Carroll graduated from Waterville Junior-Senior High School. He plans to graduate from West Point in 2016 and be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.
The mission of the U.S. Military Academy is to educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the nation as an officer in the United States Army."

I have some more Email that I just need to sort out. I'll post it later on!

Here & There
I only found one painter at work, yesterday afternoon. She was on Sanger Avenue and stopped painting just long enough to give me a great big smile!
**********
One of Humphrey Farms huge bean trucks was parked next to CVS. There must have been a bean field between there and the High School.
According t0 George Kelley, back in the '40s, lots of green beans were grown in the area but they were canned in Clinton - not at the canning factory in Waterville. I wonder where they are processed now?
*************************
Then I went on a Hop Tour.
At the Olmsteads on Sanger Avenue.
The hop vines at the Sangerfield Town Hall look healthy enough but it's hard to tell if they will have any blossoms.
The vines at Roger and Terry Tanner's have heaps of blossoms ......
............... and I spotted his vine a mile or so west of Sangerfield on Route 20. Just a few feet beyond my reach!
At Pete and Liz Kane's on Bogan Road.

One Last Reminder:

I've run out of time! More later, maybe. If not:
have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
