When learning to sail Sprites on Lake Winnipesaukee I was always fascinated by the tell-tales on the stays – little bits of string that helped you see the wind and catch it. This sinker and fishing line tangled in the power lines on the bridge to First and Second Cliffs reminded me of a tell-tale, dancing on the autumn breeze that still has a bit of warmth in its caress.

The patio furniture has all been brought inside. There are no batteries left on the store shelves. The French Toast Alert Level stands at Elevated. Let’s see if Sandy’s going to rock and roll tomorrow night.
