Matters Heard at Percy's Store

🎙️ NOW BROADCASTIN’ — Winds of W Mountain: “MATTERS HEARD AT PERCY'S STORE” 🐍📻Matters are unsettled at Percy’s Store and along the Narrows, where the thermometer bites hard and the checkerboard won’t behave. A tall robed fellow has been seen by the Lower Lake, by Lyon Mountain road, even leaning over Purley Genaway’s game of checkers, suggesting a move no one recalls learning. The water showed a pale shine after he left. Thirty below will do that—or so they say.Names surface. Uncle Dick Shutts. Andrew Baker. Old Veritas himself. A robed visitor, tall as a pine, speaking of years not yet come, then gone as quick as a skittered trout. One line keeps circulating from a bit of tape and town talk: “Move the king backwards through the centuries.”Ice cracked under boys’ skates and held. Pipes froze at William Blow’s. Mrs. Dan Hurley is on the mend. Still, something feels out of step. If time can lean, where does it rest?🕯️🪓 A small note for the stove-side crowd: this hour carries cold facts, odd testimony, and a few turns that may unsettle the sleep of light dozers. Best taken with a steady fire and a second cup close at hand. ❄️🕰️In this episode:• Percy’s checkerboard• The Narrows glow• A robed adviser• Ice under strainPull the dial slow, mind the static, and draw nearer.📻🎙️ #WindsOfWMountain #SteamboatDispatch #ChateaugayLake #PercysStore #Brainardsville #NorthCountryCold #ForgeEra #LakeLore #TavernBulletin 🌲🛶
