My View of Life on the Dock
Early this morning Mike Codair takes his walk and comes upon a stranded baby harp seal-
He texts, asking what is the right thing to do-
So I told him not to get close and gave him the number to the SSC Marine Mammal Rescue.
They sent someone out and the baby seal is now safely back in the ocean.
Hero stuff! Great job!

As a long time defender of Nick’s as the best Roast Beef around, it’s time to pass the torch to @jamiesroastbeef The murder scene I just took part in, ingesting special sandwich the “Angry Ferg” was nothing short of glorious. #theresanewsheriffintown and his name is Jamie’s Roast Beef @northshorebeefs
