The day before Christmas and all through the house, nothing was stirring not even a??? Oh, sorry.   The night before Christmas.  Got corrected by the family here.   Hmm, well I was close.  Anyways, good morning.  Touch cloudy out there this morning, with some showers off and on throughout the evening hours. Temperatures are pretty good sitting at 3 C | 37.4 F.

Forecast For Today:  Stormy, much rain throughout most of the day.  Could have some freezing rain thrown in for good measure. Or so to speak.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is wet and bare with some icy sections.  If temperatures drop which they will things could get a bit slippery.  So care should be taken if out and about.

Fishing Times:  This morning putting data together the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM.  Then a bit later on from 3:00 PM  – 5:00 PM.  I give it a 2 fish rating out of 5 for seeing a few.

Around Town:  Well with Christmas almost upon us all is quiet around Port Loring.  Some I suspect are still out gathering up gifts of choice.  Seems there is always that last minute shopper.  I told my two boys this morning that the theory behind this gift giving is that one should take home more than what was given.  They gave me the look.  Well I thought it was a good idea ha ha.  Well guess I will go have my tea and the sit back and let the day take its course.  Merry Christmas my friends.   You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Well Christmas is closing in on us quite rapidity.  Young ones are getting more excited with the hopes of Santa paying them a visit.  My Grandson gets to chattin’ about the presents about every five minutes.  Great to see them so excited as it takes me back to when I was young.  Didn’t have the gifts that they do today but we still had a great time. For most parts back when it was the goodies that the lady of the house made up,  like puddings of usually four kinds.  Pies, along with cookies of all shapes and sizes.  In the evening the turkey would be set on the table with all the extras and we were in for one great tasting meal.  Presents if any would be all home made for most parts, but every once in awhile a store bought item came into being.  When that happened I was in awe for the whole day.  After supper the guitar would be brought out and Reg the man of the house would pull up his rocker by the fireplace and songs would be song well into the night.  Great times for sure and still missed into today.  So my friends enjoy your day.  Tea time  here with my favourite cup and then will see what the day bestows upon me.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Around Town:  Quiet.  But in saying that with Christmas closing in on us I do know folks are quite busy in the cities. Check out counters this year are backed up in most all stores including restaurants.  Good sign with folks spending money as it makes for a good economy.  Old Henry Ford,  said one time many years ago, that it is not the employer who pays the wages.  Employers only handle the money.  It is the customer who pays the wages.  So my friends, dress warm today, Keep head, neck, chest and feet warm. Don’t need anyone getting sick out there before Christmas.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]
