Weather and transport notes from Bristol and rail changes
Yesterday's heat and humidity made Bristol streets quiet and exercise scarce while today brings a cooler breeze. A new one dollar money order blank is rolling out in U.S. post offices since July, used mostly in cities as old blanks are depleted. The New York New Haven Hartford line reportedly gains control of the New York and New England road with a total system of 1622 miles after Sept 1. A Biddeford harbor fishing note mentions heavy whiskey lost and gear trends at the pier. The Defender sprinted to speed against the Vigilant with Valkyrie II looming as a potential challenger for the cup.
