he used TO carry with him. and II was all marked
out like chart There were nntchcs on ii every
inch or so, some Of them meant cold, some hot.
some snow, some rain and some frost. When

going to have. he would put tins stick
alongside his leg. and according 10 the point

nearest. that would represent the weather for
the next twenty fOuT hours. ! never saw him

hours The next day the snow didn't come and
