Historical, Hysterical, Horrendous

Salam I'm talking about... We decided to avoid the roads again by taking the ferry to Salem.  Last time I visited was when I was working for ICMS... snow, blizzards, abandoned cars and closed roads!  Somehow I made it between the various universities and ended up in Salem for the afternoon.  I remembered a small quaint town, hardly anything open and no people anywhere... very atmospheric.  I bought Arthur Millar's Crucible and read it back at the  hotel  "Hysteria" is how it's described now but it must have been horrendous.


Today was very different - people everywhere because there was an arts festival... lots of stalls and thank goodness clothing stores.  I bought a thick fleece... perfect for a temperature of nine degrees.
