Cool temps, more smiles. And more to come this weekend with the 18th annual Westport Island Artisans Guild Craft Show from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17 at the town hall. There will be great locally made gifts for special occasions like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, graduations, holidays, and no-special-reason days! I love this chance to meet and talk with these talented folks, like Dexter Averill, Laurel Olson, Joyce Hill, Libby Fairfield, Judy Ward, Kathy Closson, Suzi Whittemore, Anne Cole-Fairfield, Jeanette Reed, Carol Blake, Sandy Besecker, and more. Give a call to Anne, if you have any questions, at 882-5078.

Ralph Hilton and Susan Sutter played hosts to the 50-year reunion of the class of 1966. They had a good turnout. One-third of the surviving class members were there. Neil Chubbuck, Wendy Verney, John Maclaren, Edith Peters, Patty Hains, Frank Bowdin, Basil Brown, Barbara Berry, Natalie Simmons, and Ralph and Sue all agreed they had a fun time remembering and taking pictures. Waiting and hoping more can attend in June, for the alumni banquet.

Waste Watch
A big thank you to our friends the Horseshoe Crabs for providing us with entertainment on Saturday. Peter, Paul, and Brian made us smile while we were working or taking care of our trash and recycling. I hope you enjoyed the music as it found its way across the transfer station. Thanks again, Crabs.
Thrifty Good Food Murphy's Law
Murphy’s Law succinctly states: “Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.” If you want a more scientific sounding version, there is Finagle’s Law: “The desirability of an outcome is inversely proportional to its likelihood of happening.”

Waltzing along the latter end of August and earliest September, I’ve missed several columns, but I’ve been enjoying my family, up variously from Connecticut and North Carolina. So here is a frenzied catch-up:
Nature Notes How did they know?
Due to the fading of the nectar-producing bee balm, petunias, columbine, and delphinium, hummingbird feeders are the last food resort here.
On Liberals and Conservatives
I share Bob Hardina’s (“On being (a) liberal,” Sept. 1) identification as a liberal, with the dictionary definition as a person “favoring progress and reform, as in politics, religion, etc. … open-minded or tolerant, characterized by generosity and willingness to give … ” (or at least I hope so). The transformation of “liberal” into something to apologize for is baffling to me and needs to be countered and never apologized for.
Just a Thought

Bleecker is Under House Arrest
I want to thank all the good people of South Bristol for their help, understanding, and advice during the month we spent searching for our daughter’s beloved missing cat. Not only did everyone to whose house we went welcome us and allow us to search under porches and sheds and all over their property, but they were also unfailingly friendly and sympathetic, and many kept a lookout for a gray-and-white cat.
