Fred Shrigley says,
If you are coming to the Rhumb Line be aware that most of Washington St is under construction and parking is impossible after 8am in the morning…cones are everywhere. I will see if the construction crews can remove the cones after they are finished their day’s work. In the meantime:
Plenty of parking a short walk away at the MBTA parking lot which is free at night and mostly empty





Friends enjoy lunch at the Azorean

Sure seemed like the dog days of summer these past few days. I think the dogs would agree.

I was looking at the video of the lightning strike again this morning and found this additional frame just after the one I sent to you last night.

A quick transition from a chilly spring to a summer heat wave. The Rhododendrons are blossoming from buds, the Chickadees are at work (I think he’s supervising and she’s building), just a lone coyote on the Audubon land, a first sail past Eastern Point light, and an Eider extended family enjoys a swim along Raymond Beach.
