Posted on by Joanne
Surf & Turf Specials!
Wednesdays Only!Hello everyone!
Wednesday, November 7th
Special Guest: MARTY MORRISSEY!

A rare and sudden opportunity has presented itself to us all!
Making a very brief appearance here on Cape Ann is my
longtime friend, Marty Morrissey.  Marty is a seasoned folk
artist who has been performing beautiful music throughout
the greater regions of Vermont for well over 30 years in many
groups, including celtic style (with the popular New England
trio The Highland Weavers) and “schmaltzy swing” as The
Tin Pan Valentinos.  Among many of this multi-instrumentalist’s
historically commemorative CDs, you may find a particular title:
“Old & New Songs of Lake Champlain”, recorded with
partner Robert Resnik and released on January 1, 2009… day
one of the 400th anniversary year of Samuel de Champlain’s
first visit to the lake which bears his name.  Click the link below
and pick it up on CD Baby today!  Meanwhile, we’ll see you on
Wednesday at the the bar that simply never quits! 🙂 ~ Fly

Voting, Duh!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Never in my life have I been so undecided on the lesser of two evils. The felt tip marker point went back and forth from Obama to Romney at least 5 times before checking off my final decision.

I wonder how many are just like me, undecided right up til the final second in the booth and I wonder how close of a race compared to every national poll which basically had them split the results will be.

In any case, get out there, VOTE!

EARN YOUR RIGHT TO BITCH!

Feels good though.

Like Vicky and Peter Said in their post yesterday, if you don’t vote, don’t go bitching afterwards.

Did You Know? (Abracadabra)

Posted on by God's Morning

That the first known mention of the word was in the third century AD in a book called Liber Medicinalis (sometimes known as De Medicina Praecepta Saluberrima) by Quintus Serenus Sammonicus,[1] physician to the Roman emperor Caracalla, who prescribed that malaria sufferers wear an amulet containing the word written in the form of a triangle:

A – B – R – A – C – A – D – A – B – R – A
A – B – R – A – C – A – D – A – B – R
A – B – R – A – C – A – D – A – B
A – B – R – A – C – A – D – A
A – B – R – A – C – A – D
A – B – R – A – C – A
A – B – R – A – C
A – B – R – A
A – B – R
A – B
A

This, he explained, diminishes the hold over the patient of the spirit of the disease. Other Roman emperors, including Geta and Alexander Severus, were followers of the medical teachings of Serenus Sammonicus and may have used the incantation as well. 

It was used as a magical formula by the Gnostics of the sect of Basilides in invoking the aid of beneficent spirits against disease and misfortune.  It is found on Abraxas stones which were worn as amulets. Subsequently, its use spread beyond the Gnostics.  Wikipedia

HMS Bounty Sinking Timeline

HMS Bounty Sinking Timeline

The Coast Guard said it would “probe every aspect of the accident and will determine as closely as possible” what caused it, whether there is evidence of equipment failure or human error, and if it or any other government agency contributed to the confirmed death of one crew member and presumed death of the Bounty’s captain, who is missing.

The Bounty sent out a distress call Sunday night and began taking on water off the coast of North Carolina Monday morning amid high winds and waves caused by Sandy, whose eye was located 150 miles to the east at the time. Shortly thereafter the crew abandoned ship and boarded life rafts.

Isn’t Daylight Savings Time Kinda Stupid?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Like Why?

Does anyone not get that it’s gonna be darker earlier and the sun is gonna come out later in the morning?

Why confuse the whole country and make everyone in this day and age of more and more global economies and inter state commerce do we need daylight savings time?  To mess up scheduling on computers?

Just seems like a whole lot of wasted energy instead of just having the time be the time.

Screw Daylight Savings Time!

What Politician Has The Nuts To Bring That Bill Up?

Charles Bukowski Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

November 1, 2012

“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.”

Charles Bukowski (1920-1994)

image

Born Heinrich Carl Bukowski in Germany after the First World War, Bukowski’s American father moved the family to California in 1923. He studied writing and literature briefly at Los Angeles City College before moving to New York. Arrested for draft evasion in 1944, he failed a psychological evaluation and was listed 4F. His writing career did not flower until the mid-fifties, when he began to publish his hundreds of poems and short stories, and his six novels, of which Ham on Rye is the best known. He wrote the script for the semi-autobiographical film “Barfly” which detailed his nearly life-long alcoholism and depression and their effect on his writing. Bukowski wasinfamous for his confrontational literary readings, which bordered on performance art, described by some as uninhibited, but by others as drunken and boorish.
