1956 Oldsmobile 88, on the way home

 I caught  the Olds in Wiscasset.  An April tradition: the first trip downeast, heading for the Blue Hill Peninsula and HOME. There is an astounding amount of snow here, compared to southern Maine. It was the warmest day of the Spring, so far-- nearly 60 F degrees, but there's more grimness on the way. I heard six inches of snow expected tomorrow in The County (Aroostook, that is.) Cold rain due here, and some wild winds. There's ice in Blue Hill Bay, unheard of in April. I'm going to go down and have a peek at Center Harbor tomorrow, to see what's afloat. Still, I love this Spring, harsh as it has been so far. Green shoots struggle through the permafrost, and there is a wild abundance of light. Downeast Mainers can be snarly this time of year, like cats who've been locked up in a house too long. Town Meeting is tomorrow, a mud season tradition.
Hey, looks like I was right: the hood ornament on that Chevy in New Mexico was from a '56 or '55 Olds.
