6 in of snow, no problems. Nice shot of 2 arguing blue jays. In 1965 I took a graduate course at UNH in animal behavior. It was fun, spent a lot of time watching birds, including chickens. These creatures with bird brains survive the harshest conditions that would be a challenge to humans. So Kaula has trouble living on a $600/yr allowance in 1897. In 1930 my father worked 'breaking roads in New Ipswich for $2.25/day. I would estimate that would translate to less than $1/day in 1897. So Kaula gets a working man's wages as an allowance and complains. BTW, My father later worked in both the Highbridge and Greenville Mills as a loom fixer. He could fix anything.

Power is still out here on town hill. I heard 88% of New Ipswich is without power.

That's my aunt Anne Lizotte on the float.
