Somebody dropped something overboard on the set.

I hope it wasn’t an expensive camera lens. That saltwater will mess it up bad.

This poor fella has seen better days.

Anyone else remember back about 20 years when you couldn’t drive down Rogers Street without seeing a run over seagull?

Those were the days.

Damon was rowing by so I hopped aboard to get some up close shots of the set of “The Proposal” starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.

Proposal Movie Filming Update

Proposal Movie Filming Update, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

Lots of activity around the set at Pier 7 this morning.

The parking lot at Cripple Cove has been coned off, there are many many huge trucks with equipment there, and what looks like a director going over the scened waving his arms around. I speculate he is giving direction to the camera man.

I’ll try to give updates and gets some up close shots of the stars when they arrive.

Ned’s Groceria, Washington St

Ned’s Groceria, Washington St, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

For some reason I thought the name was Ned’s Groceteria and had named all my picture files and flickr titles as such. Upon further review of this picture it is Ned’s Groceria. I wonder if selling stuff out of a van makes you a Groceteria and selling out of a storefront makes you a Groceria. Any of you Ned’s regulars want to stop by there and find out for me?
I got a Cuban panini that was very tasty. It was pressed through and the center ingredients were warm (a pet peeve of Mark Ring is a cold centered panini). I’m happy to report Mark that the panini was properly prepared.
As is the case with any of the pictures posted on the blog if you click on the picture it will bring you to the flickr page where it resides. Along the top border of the picture there is an option for “all sizes” when selected gives you a nice full sized version of any of the pictures posted here with much greater detail. I prefer if you like a pic to check them out on the flickr page using the all sizes feature. Viewing them on this page you are reading does many of the photo’s disservice.
Here is a link to my Ned’s Groceria slideshow including other Ned’s pics in larger format.

Essex Cows

Essex Cows, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

I don’t know who owns this land in Essex, but good for them that they can afford to keep the open space for the cows and people passing by.

Is there a certain number of cows or plantings that one would need to keep on their property to qualify for farmland status on the tax rolls?
