Further casualties of the storm

Appears that our northeaster of last week killed the two eaglets on that nest-cam site.

That, as they say, is life. Or otherwise.

Surprise, surprise

Plenty of water for today's canoe race. Wonder where _that_ came from...

I think more than half of the vessels, canoes and kayaks, that tried Six Mile Falls (normally Class 3 rapids) ended up inverted. Beautiful day for a swim -- air temperatures in the 60s F. Too bad they report the water at 38 F.

The brother of Wife's boss is a minor celebrity, noted for doing the race every year in a white tuxedo and hat, standing up, with a canoe pole rather than a paddle. No sign of him in local TV coverage at the falls. I think Zip knows the water too well, and portaged.
