The weather became increasingly nasty overnight and by early Thursday morning when we headed off to Gerrish's the rain was steady, the wind was blowing and it was just generally unpleasant. The rest of the day contnued this behavior and more was predicted for Friday.
But that said Friday was a most interesting day indeed. The cafe was steady pretty much all day with several serious spikes in business. It was during the lunch rush that I caught sight of the actor Josef Sommer. While you might not recognize the name you will certainly recognize the face. Think back to the movie Witness with Harrison Ford. Do you remember the character who was Ford's boss and he thought his best friend but who was actually the archvillain of the movie? Well that was Josef Sommer. As he and his wife were leaving the cafe I walked over and said to him that I thought he was a fine actor and that I enjoyed his work.
A little after 4 pm Susie and I left the cafe and after a brief stop at home drove out to Schoodic Point. The fog was in but so were the waves from the northeast. Huge rollers crashing on the rocks and setting off geyser-like plumes of water 30, 40 50 feet in the air! People were standing everywhere, riveted by the spectacle of nature pointedly showing us how truly terrifying she could be.
Wish you could've been there,
Steve
