Suv Drives Off Stone Pier In West Gloucester, Photos from Anthony Marks
Hey Joey
From what i hear the driver of this suv got there flip flop entangled
with the gas peddle causing the peddle to stick, sending the suv into
Jones creek off the Annisquam river. The driver swam back to the pier
and was not injured.

Critical Question of The Day- If you had to be stuck talking to stinky guy or curmudgeon guy which would you rather?
Here’s the scenario:
You absolutely have to spend time in close quarters to one of two people.
One. a person that absolutely reeks of body odor and overall stench and every time yo take a breath you inhale the rottenness.
or the second a total negative Nancy curmudgeon who has nothing nice to say about anything and takes delight in other people’s misfortune.

I’d like a lg mens merino wool sweater in the style above minus the Charlie Brown pattern color heather grey or charcoal. Any knitters up for it? Your picture on the blog and the yarn shop that wants to donate the yarn will get my time posting about the process.
Here’s where I saw the pattern but you might have a classic crew neck sweater pattern we could look at too.

Lawrence Peter Berra Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
October 3, 2013
“You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you.”
Lawrence Peter Berra (1925- )
Yogi Berra was one of the greatest catchers of all time, even if he was a Yankee. The three-time MVP appeared in the World Series as a player, coach, or manager 21 times, and managed World Series winners in both leagues. At the plate he was a fine clutch hitter, in five seasons he had more home runs than strikeouts. He was an All-Star fifteen times and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1972. Because of his extraordinary gift for malapropism and tautology with a thought-provoking twist, he is often the target of misattribution, which prompted his 1998 book, I Didn’t Really Say Everything I Said. One of my other favorite Yogi-isms, said of a restaurant he liked, “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”

Mover and Shaker Gayle Piraino Meets Another Gloucesterite In Vegas
Good Afternoon Joey,
Wow, it’s a small world indeed! I just got in from Las at 7 Vegas this morning. Our company GAP Promotions exhibited at the National Beer Wholesalers Association’s Annual Conference at Caesar’s Palace on Monday/Tuesday. We left Saturday and never stopped until we left for the airport at 8PM last night. It’s a “work hard/play hard” event but so rewarding when you get to meet your customers face to face to thank them for their support. Plus where we work with Food and Beverage Clients on a National basis, not much beats this event!
I try to say thank you to as many clients as possible and yesterday it was like Thanksgiving reunion when John Saputo, Owner and President of Gold Coast Eagle Distributing, Inc. in Pensacola, FL entered our booth! We were conversing about some new products and he quickly noticed Gloucester on our badges and immediately mentioned you, Felicia and so many others! It was fantastic as I had no idea of the relationship of him, his fine distributorship to Gloucester. Was wonderful to listen to and so nice knowing the many ties he has to Gloucester!

This Is What Your Should Be Doing This Weekend- Beer Contest in Essex
DRINK LIKE A PRO
A Crafter’s Delight
Written By: Rachel Linthwaite, BostonChefs.com
Curious about what the local Boston area home brewing community is up to? Love beer and helping out worthy causes? Check out Ales Over ALS – A Crafter’s Delight taking place in Essex on Saturday, October 5th. The afternoon event at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum is, for the second year in a row, a celebration of all things locally crafted – including the aforementioned brews. A ticket will get you a sample of over a dozen amateur brewers’ concoctions which run the gamut from wheat beers, Märzenbier and Kolsch to Irish Reds, Double IPAs and Porter. There’ll be seasonal treats like a Maple Brown, an Apple Pie Brown, the ever popular pumpkin beer and even a cider. We hear Frank McClelland of L’Espalier will also be entering the competition with his Barrel Aged Farmhouse Ale – just because someone is a master chef doesn’t mean they can’t brew on their off hours you know. All of these fine folks will be competing, in a competition judged by the head brewers at Sam Adams and Cape Ann Brewing plus an avid home brewer on the ALS Therapy Development Institute Team, for the chance to have their beer brewed by Cape Ann as a onetime special release with proceeds benefiting the foundation.
