George's Tid Bits
by George Capron
The
following are excerpts from some of the calls that George received during
his radio show on WBRV-WLLG The Moose, as well as observations he made on
the air during the week of August 25th, 2008:
- MONDAY, AUGUST 25: For the second
weekend in a row, beautiful weather was enjoyed with a high temperature
of 80 in the village, and light rain, thunder and lightning last
evening. I measured .37 inches of rain this morning at the station.
Happy 29th anniversary wishes to Jim Denslow of Boonville from his wife
Judy. Marj Bookhagen of Glenfield celebrates her 83rd birthday, with
best wishes from Craig, Amy, and family. Actor Sean Connery was born in
Edinburgh, Scotland, 78 years ago. He was my favorite James Bond.
- TUESDAY, AUGUST 26: A chilly
morning greeted us with a 39-degree reading, and I had one report of
frost on her tomatoes. As usual, a few trees are starting to show early
color, as the daylight hours decline. We’ve lost one hour of evening
daylight since the latest sunset. The very first Ford Edsel was built
today in 1957. The car was only around for three years before production
stopped because of poor sales. Ford reported that 110,847 cars were
produced. The first Yugo automobile was introduced in America in 1985.
The Yugoslavian built car was only produced for a few years before the
company went bankrupt.
- WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27: Two births
were reported this morning. Yesterday at Fort Levenworth, Kansas, Sgt.
Timothy and Brittany Mayer welcomed their first born, a son, Zackery,
into the world. Congratulations from Tim’s mom and dad, Gary and Debbie
Mayer of Boonville. Also, Kyle and Heather LeVan of Constableville
welcomed a son, Varick James, born on Friday. Happy wishes from their
families. Historically, the world’s first successful oil well was
established near Titusville, PA, in 1859. Edwin Drake struck oil at 69
feet.
- THURSDAY, AUGUST 28: I had a note
to wish their mother, Anna Widrick, a happy 96th birthday from Royal and
Arlene in Carthage. Happy 26th anniversary wishes to Floyd and Maryann
Miller of Boonville, from Ron, Angie, Clayton, and Mallory. Singer
Shania Twain was born in Windsor, Ontario, and was raised in Timmins, 43
years ago today. Her real name is Eileen Regina Edwards. Singer LeAnn
Rimes was born in Jackson, Mississippi, 26 years ago today. At the age
of 13, she had a Top Ten hit song with “Blue,” and has since recorded
close to 30 singles. Her new song is called “What I Cannot Change,”
which she had a part in writing. The new Farmers Almanac predicts a
colder and snowy winter this year. Last year, Boonville totaled 196.9
inches of snowfall and the average of the past 58 years is 211.07
inches.
- FRIDAY, AUGUST 29: Long distance
congratulations to Royce Fitzgerald, formerly of Port Leyden, and Sharon
Bergeron, who will be married in Massachusetts on Monday. Best wishes
from the Fitzgerald family. Happy 44th anniversary wishes to Joyce
Mealus of Brantingham from husband Jim. Mrs. Clinton “Violet” Hanno of
Lowville celebrated her 91st birthday today, with family and friends
sending their best wishes.
