The weather turned cold and gusty yesterday. The trees around school and along North Main were swaying in the winds, and leaves were taking wing by the thousands. As I drove down to the Borough after school for a “happy hour” gathering with a few friends, the trees seemed lit up in the late, cool sunlight, and everything (even the cars) seemed to be blowing along somewhere. Before my friends arrived, I sat on the deck of Skipper’s Dock and enjoyed a beer while the wind whistled among the masts of boats and a lone windsurfer whipped across the harbor.
