Numbers reduced, winter warriors gather nonetheless

Tommy the Head Bartender took this photo tonight of a brave band of winter warriors who celebrated another evening in Shakopee's winter wonderland at the monthly Abbey Point dinner and conference. The six neighbors present discussed the neighbors who weren't present  . . . mostly they're in Florida, a couple in Arizona. The Gerkens brought a report from Florida where they had been February guests of some of the Abbey Point snowbirds. It was an upbeat fireside evening with temperatures outside going below zero. Although they all have them, aches and pains were not featured on the evening's agenda. Community well water quality was, with Joe Daly volunteering to guarantee the neighborhood's safety by drinking the first glass after current repairs are completed. Mr. Gerken suggests others hold off at least a half hour to see if Mr. Daly starts flopping around.
