We are getting some more snow later tonight but this afternoon it will
be wind that is the problem, over 100 k (or however they measure it)
and we are going across the bridge to Dartmouth and back for my
grandsons 43 birthday. Whichever bridge we take, I think it's going
to be rough Bonus is the restaurant has the best fried clams
you could ever want.
