Yes, Winter is upon us in Merritt. The temperatures are still mild, so " Larry the lineman " [right hand side] will not need to be bundled up in a scarfe and toque just yet. The insulators all look good in their coats of snow.

Bill Haley was just announcing the 2nd best Insulator Show in November, and it caused me to think how a winter Merritt Insulator show would go. Maybe not. I think I would be very lonely, but I would also have to eat a lot of chilli. Yes, there is a good reason we have our show in Sept..

Oh well, it is only another 2 weeks until I can go ice fishing for large 6 lb brook trout on the high elevation lakes, and another month till the lower lakes offer some good rainbow fishing. If you are out there, look for the guy in the black and yellow tent. I can sit inside, out of the wind, and watch the fish swimming around below. Almost as good as insulators.
