Bricked chicken with mash and coleslaw. Fran complemented me on the home made dressing for the coleslaw, I lucked out there I guess.

Up to 26.9 at the house yesterday [today is supposed to be hotter] and it did not get below 18 last evening.

Nain is not Pakistan with the floods or Russia with the heat and fires or even China with it's mud slides, but we do have our little inconveniences.
Saturday we were without internet most of the day and night. The phones were OK but some cable or other was cut some place south. All was back up Sunday morning.

Then yesterday afternoon there was quite a bit of interference with the satellite TV reception. We would not have worried that much but it was at an exciting stage of the PGA championships and we did not want to miss a miss hit or long drive. The length some of these guys hit the ball borders on the absurd.

Noticed on my hit meter; someone in Salt Lake City Utah googling living conditions in Nain a.d. 33 and getting my blog.
Totally unrelated: Noticed about half a dozen or so Mennonites walking around town Saturday. You could tell they were Mennonites by the traditional garb the men and women wore, or more correctly the women as the men were just dressed very conservatively.

Not sure what is going on, an older couple who are purported to be Mennonites have been coming and going for over a year and have finely rented a home, purchased a vehical and just seem to walk and be seen around town. In a brief conversation with the male I had in Goose Bay he mentioned that they were moving to Nain to see how they could help out.
Help out with what I do not know.

Around town the only visible sign I have seen of support for the NO vote [YES voters have been doing daily walks] was a hand written sign made of cardboard stuck up on a hydro pole down towards the airstrip.

In large letters was Vote NO to the Ban. Then in smaller writing, Silk Tassel is good for the mind and after work having a couple of beer is relaxing for the mind, or words to that effect.
