Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 9, 1990-9 From A round -"H-ome by Roy Forrester fts a/ways been so We start this column this week with very littie to report other than Bill Buntîng and 1 bave travelled from the Rouge Valley to Amburst Island off Kingston in searcb of the return of birds. It basn't been that successful but it great just to be able to get outdoors. Two weeks ago it was the Rouge wbere birds were scare, it being too e arly, but one thing we did learn was that valley banks are getting stepper by the year. Walking up the valley along side the Rouge we found ourselves tràp- ped by a guagmire which necessitated a climb up the at least 100 foot valley bank. Hal' way up it was a stop for a rest but facîng a little knoll of some three to four feet straigbt up. There was just not enougb leverage in tbe old knees to carry up that 195 pounds without a push from behind by Bill. Bull had the sense to travel around the knoll. Yes the his are getting stepper. Last Sunday it was to Traverse Point in Prince Edward County with a 6:30 a.m. start from Orono. Lots of birders but no birds.

This tirte it's rehabilitating eight delivery trucks into french frie trucks. These be leâses out and in fact now bas four on the road for the summer. It's possible you may have seen one of the trucks in Kendal of late, yellow with red and called McFee's French Fries. We are quite sure that Doug gets a big kick out of bis new promotion which operates closely to that of a franchise. SThe conversation lead from one tbing to another when somehow or other bigbway speeding came to the forefront. .P ingle tells the story of a senior couple driving up from Cornwall along 401 when tbey were stopped by tbe OPP for speeding. When the officer approached the driver's side of the ca he said to the maie driver, "It's a fine day." The wife sitting in the passenger side being bard of bearing said- What dïd he say?' He said it was a fine day. The officer cbuckled a little and said I will have to see your driver's licence. What did he say? He wants to see my driver's licence. After inspecting the licence the officer said I see you come froîn Cornwall. I used- to have a girl friend down there that could flot cuddle right, kiss rigbt or do anything right. What did he say? He saîd be tbinks be knows you.
