Pooper Scooper

Hi Joey. While enjoying a beautiful morning at Good Harbor Beach, I came across a cool & groovy neighbor making the beach a better place. How can the beach be better  you might ask? Well when it is not covered in poop it is a lovelier place for all. Jim Dowd arrived today with his son, dog, shovel & bucket.
Thank you Jim!!

Parmesan Potatoes~ One of my son BJ’s most favorite side dishes!  He would happily eat these potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  BJ requested them last night as a side dish for he and his friend Williams’ Fried Muddica Chicken,  Zucchini fries, and Parmesan potato dinner.

Dinner…Before 2 teenage boys stuck a fork in it….

For Those Of You Who Use Twitter a Client Other Than The Official Twitter App…

Which One Do You Use?

I use tweetcaster on my mobile devices and tweetdeck on my desktop computer. For some reason the official twitter apps hide the great “Retweet with comment” option I find so useful. For sharing stuff from the blog it lets me edit the tweet to include shoutouts to the people mentioned I the post.

My guess is that the unofficial Twitter clients provide so much more functionality that if the official twitter app offered those options it would probably tax the Twitter servers so much that it would bring down the system.

Anyway that’s my skeptical guess.
