Dear Friends,
A run of cold days here and, finally, a veneer of ice in the north shore harbors. This is the very base of Northport Harbor, #LongIsland. Our ever-pooping (look closely) resident Canada Goose stands on a single leg to help keep themselves warm. Edit: removed the window friday hashtag! #SillyMe

_The Evening Post_, 28 October 1924:
           LOCAL AND GENERAL

  It is proverbial that troubles never come singly, and this was exemplified on Friday morning, when Commander #Middleton, a retired naval officer, residing in Clarke road, #Onehunga, discovered one of his #cows dead (states the “New Zealand Herald”), the loss being accentuated by the fact that it was a beautiful little Jersey, a 300lb [ca. 140 kg] tested butter-fat cow. The owner promptly paid a visit by motor to the stock inspector, in order to obtain his opinion whether it had died from eating the black clover which is now growing so profusely. Returning home, he found his garage and washhouse a mass of flames, and in a few minutes it was only a smouldering heap. However, in accordance with the custom in the Navy, the owner took his loss quite philosophically, consoling himself with the reflection that if the fire had occurred an hour earlier he would have lost his motor-car also.
