We often don’t think of home efficiency until winter, but it’s essential for keeping us cool in the summer too. Protecting your home from the summer heat will keep everyone in your house happy, and save on your utility bills too. There are a lot of options out there to help, both high-tech and more traditional. Staying cool can be even easier if you have a smart home to help regulate temperatures, or automate the opening and closing of your window coverings.  However you choose to beat the heat, you’ll be grateful for keeping both your utility bill and the temperature down.

Wear a Mask song! From Ilene Altman (aka Leeny)

Hi Joey,
Don’t know if you remember me, but your girls used to listen to my children’s music (I think they particularly liked “Stinky Diaper” by Leeny and Steve). For the last seven years, I’ve been teaching K-5 music in Salem at Carlton School. Anyhoo, I just wrote a new song called, “Wear a Mask (Let’s Kick COVID’s Ass)” and thought you might enjoy it and hopefully want to share on Good Morning Gloucester. I also have a Clean version of the song (without the a**) if you’re interested.

Here are links to the song on my Facebook page and YouTube channel:

Mark It Down Friends, The Annual “I’ve never seen traffic this bad” Facebook amnesia postings have officially commenced for 2020

A tradition unlike any other where every single July we have the same people bitching about the month or so of summer traffic that we’ve had every single July since I was sitting with my legs stuck to the vinyl back seat of our dad’s Mercury Grand Marquis without AC in 1972 on the Boulevard waiting for the bridge to go down.

Same as it ever was.  Mark it down.  This year (2020) it was July 12th when the Facebook warriors declared it the worst ever.

Last year it was July 20th

same

Guess what?  you can set your watch and bet on it that the same keyboard warriors will be pounding away declaring next year’s traffic somewhere between the second and third week of July 2021 “The worst they’d ever seen it.”

They should just go back to their Timehop and repost it every year and save the keystrokes 🙂

Mile Marker One Under GM Patrick Hurd and Chef Wheels Is Firing On All Cylinders

img_8678

You know when you go to a seasonal type place and it’s a mish mosh of thrown together servers and it’s just a bunch of predictable greasy fried food?  Not at Mile Marker One.  Not under the expertly trained staff of Patrick Hurd and Chef Wheels.

Dinner was on point!  Hats off to the staff that could rest on it’s location alone but goes above and beyond with inventive dishes, expertly prepared and an excellent staff that is efficient and super friendly.
