See those big ass lights hanging from the ceiling?  They get HOT!

The room is air conditioned but those bad boys when fired up would heat up the antarctic.

Cape Ann TV Studio

We watched a live meeting at City Hall while waiting to switch over and go live for our interview with Sinikka for The Cape Ann Report.  I believe you can see Jason Grow on the monitors.  The feed goes straight from City Hall To Cape Ann TV and gets transmitted out to local homes.   It’s a great service that Local TV provides to bring these meetings into our homes.

CT Coppersmiths Codfish Find At The Dress Code

Here’s the signature on the back of the codfish.  It’s a nice touch.

I know many Gloucester retailers read these pages.  I wonder if anyone would like to carry his line.  There’s a thing about fish art in Gloucester.  Most times people make fish art but they in no way shape or form resemble anything that is caught off our shores.  Usually they are some weird bastardized generic fish that has nothing to do with the fish that built this city back in the day.  This Codfish is a great recreation of what was once the backbone of Gloucester’s economic engine.

CT Coppersmiths Codfish Find At The Dress Code

Here’s a copper codfish that I found at The Dress Code consignment shop downtown.   It is signed on the back with the 1989 and Connecticut Coppersmiths.  I did a search on Connecticut Coppersmiths and found this link

It says the artist is Rob Bunting and he has been at it since 1984.  It’s a beautiful piece and we plan on mounting it over the cooktop at the homestead.

Beautiful Industry- Seaweed Balls

Toby Burnham says they could be little alien cocoons, LOL!

Matt Ring Shows Us A Seaweed Ball

Matt Ring aboard the Stanley Thomas shows us these seaweed balls.  They are almost perfectly round and made of seaweed with little sand mixed in.

Mark Ring who has been lobstering for over 30 years tells me he has never seen them before and Toby Burnham who brought some in a couple days earlier said the same thing, that he had never seen anything like them either.

They are sponge-like and when squeezed will let out a little water and if you throw it on the deck it will flatten out a little with a splat like landing.
