-I like history and my favorite feature of the Watertown Daily Times is Dave Shampine's history pieces. I ran into Dave in the City Historians lair in the basement of City Hall this week. I won't reveal what he was working on but you will find it an interesting vignette on life downtown many years ago. Dave has agreed to a HOTLINE visit.
-Speaking of the Times, their sales boss tweeted me to say ad sales are up 10% this year which is quite an accomplishment given the economy and the free fall of newspapers in general.
-Post Office is doing a good job...Mom mailed a package Thursday PM in NC and it got here Saturday AM.
-John Moore continues to migrate back to his rural roots in Lisbon. Last night at the radio Christmas party John says his next vehicle will be a pick-up truck. He currently drives a Sportage. John will be the most dapper gentleman farmer in all of St. Lawrence County.
-Speaking of the party....great food and atmosphere at the Brew Pub in Sackets. Steve Flynn a wonderful host. He was showing me his fancy Italian-made draft dispenser. Has a glass washer on the drain tray. Steve calls it a beer mug bidet.
-Dave Mance is returning to Watertown Tuesday from Florida. Dave is still hoping the Hospital will name the new parking deck after him.
