So they started at 7am today trimming the trees across the canal. It’s not so much the chainsaw,
but more the enormous wood chipper that is reducing the massive branches into pulp.
After work I had to run an errand. I guess I don’t get out as much as I should because
it was really so apparent that after 6pm, it’s really dark. What a change from summer
when it was still light at 2300 (11pm for all you americans)
But it’s nice to see the boat dwellers putting some effort into their holiday decorations.
