International Falls dock strike idles workers

The dock now spans three of the cribs. One more to go. Too cold today.
News from The North, where Wayne's boat dock rebuild appears to be making good headway. Labor strife looms. 
Wayne writes:
There has been another work stoppage. My no good brother-in-law said he won't work because of the blowing snow and 28 degrees.  
When warmer weather comes, Mary Ann will use the cement mixer parked by the sauna to repair a retaining wall.
(The portable cement mixer was a birthday gift to his wife two years ago. "Nothing's too good for that woman," Wayne says.)
