Tuesday morning….

Looking over the water...

Hope this finds you well & happy….let’s see what’s going on around the island:

Friends off Roche Harbor Road....

• Leo Michael tells me he saw an interesting sight:

Ian, I was heading out to Roche Harbor last Thursday afternoon and was just passing Westcott Bay Road when I saw a curious sight.

Sitting on a log just off of the road were a beautiful red fox and his buddy, a big fat house cat. I turned around to get a picture which startled them and caused them to move off of the log but I still got a reasonable picture.

Not something you see everyday. At least not something I see everyday.

• The Women’s Opportunity Award applications are due December 1st. Lenore from the Soroptimist Club tells me this is for folks who need some help:

The Women’s Opportunity Awards program is Soroptimist’s major service project. This is an award intended to assist women in overcoming personal difficulties and bettering their lives through education and skills training.  The women who receive the award may use the cash award to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, such as tuition, books, childcare, or transportation.  The award is offered to a woman who is primary wage earner in the household pursuing an undergraduate or vocational degree. Here’s more.
