These old hooks are in the rectory wall outside the back door. I don’t know what they are for… The bricks themselves are pretty old, and have developed interesting cracks on the ends, almost as if they were blocks of wood:
How long before the PC Police get the best KMART Commercial in the history of KMART commercials pulled?
The ad agency that put that together deserves the highest ad agency award there is.
Sidewalk Sweeping Day
Please join the Clean City Initiative and the Building Center of Gloucester on our Annual Sidewalk Sweeping Day April 20, 2013. Sweep all the winter sand off of your sidewalk and into the street for the D.P.W. to come and take it away on your scheduled sweeping day, look for the posted schedule in your local newspaper or online on our cites website. Try to keep it in small piles so the street sweeping machine can sweep it up. Offer to help a neighbor that might need it. Look for coupons in local paper from our sponsors the Building Center of Cape Ann. Thank you for “Helping to Keep Our Home Port Clean”.

Talk about a shit show.
No way they bring a boat like this to the dock in the US. No freakin way.
Located in the Heart Of Naples we went after the beach. The food is fantastic, the service friendly and on point.
Must try dish- the chicken marsala.
They get everything right in a relaxed atmosphere. Never pretentious, just right for a meal with family and friends.
Highly recommended!

This is going to be the photography exhibit of the season, so don’t miss it. Charlie is an amazing photographer and James at Cape Ann Giclee has gone over and above to make his printed photos look fantastic. Very intriguing and fascinating body of work.

Alan Davis at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor last Sunday, receiving a commendation from State Senator Bruce Tarr on behalf of the Mass General Assembly
Roger LaRae Davis write,
“First, thanks for the blog last month on Alan Davis’s Digital Dogtown project. He received his Eagle Scout award this past Sunday at the Troop 112 Court of Honor.
Roger continues, “There has been a tremendous outpouring of community support and offers of assistance for the repair of the project, with offers of ideas, money, materials and labor. We really hope that with all this publicity, the community can take ownership of this project, so that it becomes more than just Alan’s project, but Gloucester’s project.”
For any questions, please call Roger at 978-559-1190 or email Alan at digital.dogtown@gmail.com.
Jason Grow adds, “I’d like to see if our community could rally and help Alan Davis rebuild his “Digital Dogtown” project…Some money, some volunteerism, some materials donations? I’ve got a call into his father, O’Maley Middle School science teacher Roger Davis, to see what this would cost and what would be needed to help Alan replace his project. If you’d like to help out, let me know; send an email to jasongrow@comcast.net and I’ll see what, if anything, we can do. It would be terrific if we could, as a community, show the knuckleheads who did this that stupidity doesn’t win.”
One of the posts still in good condition, showing the map and QR code.
One post with its map and QR code ripped off.
Alan next to a post after it was put in place last Fall. This post links to a web page explaining the role of the forest as a filter for the watershed feeding the city’s water supply in Babson Reservoir.
This is all that is left of that post.
Eagle Scout Zach Schultz helping to install a post.
Alan next to the post near the “Spiritual Power” boulder. This post linked to a biography of Roger Babson, the author of the motto stones in Dogtown and the Gloucester philanthropist who donated the Dogtown watershed land to the city for its reservoir. This post is now gone, disappeared.

The same scene at Whale’s Jaw now, with only a stick left in the hole where the post was removed, apparently burnt.
Notice the burnt log and burnt grass near the hole at Whale’s Jaw.

The post at the entrance parking area, apparently broken off by a car or truck. The splintered remains of the post have since been removed entirely, leaving only a hole in the ground.
Scouts and leaders installing the last post. This post has now been broken up. From left, Todd Tierney, Wayne Moulton, Tyrell Moulton, Roger Davis (holding the post), Alan Davis (behind his father), Dave Wheeler, Jeb Hogan, Craig Renales and Noah Tierney.
