My View of Life on the Dock
From Linda Morse-
Dear Joe: Could you please share these pictures on your blog as my puppies would like to wish all their friends and owners at Good Harbor Beach a Happy Easter. They are regulars at the beach until May 1st of course.
Thanks, Linda Morse

I’m trying to figure out if it’s a generational thing with men or not but I notice that many of my elders heap the hell out of thier chips or crackers when dipping. They mound the things over and struggle to keep the dip on the chip without it spilling over the sides when bringing the chip or cracker up to thier mouth. Younger people don’t seem to do this from what I see. What type of dipper are you?
Cold? Check
Drizzly? Check
Foggy? Check
These guys don’t care. They are competitors and this year they want to win it all. To all of the rest of the Dory crews don’t say you haven’t been warned! If you are sitting at the computer reading this you are not training and Marc and Joe will be eating your lunch come race day!

There was only one person who got the right location of this week’s photo. If I didn’t know where it was, I would have guessed Stage Fort going out to the cannons. But in reality it wasn’t there or Half Moon Beach. It’s at the beginning of Eastern Point Boulevard, just as you go through the pillars off to the left leading up to the gazebo.
Congratulations, Mung! And Hedge, it does look like that photo on your blog!
Thanks for playing!
It gets better every time I watch it. For those of you who have just recently discovered GMG make sure to check this page at 8:00PM for the Bobby Bobskill Chronicles Rerun. To date it’s some of my favorite stuff on the blog.
We’ve had this little contest going for 18 weeks! All through the winter into the SPRING!!
Last week this comment from Joe (not Joey C.): “Those that picked the Public Ramp behind GHS got it correct, from my view. Have lived on the river all my life, and that Great Blue is taking off from an old pile, that has been there the entire time.”
Can you figure out where this week’s location is? Not far off the beaten path?
Thanks for playing! Good luck!
These modular homes are coming right along. This was Saturday and they were working on them. They took no time putting up the For Sale signs!
Here are some of my HDR Images. HDR is High Dynamic Range Photography. You take multiple exposures and blend them together using PhotoMatix software. There are many tutorials on line if interested. Google HDR Photography.
Some of the long time GMG readers will recall my fasination with spring, and the development of our Kwanzan Cherry tree and also The Rosa grows along the shore. This is the first signs of life with the buds starting to form on the Kwanzan Cherry.

Hey I know Facebook is taking over America. I’m not blind. While I refuse to jump on that train and get sucked into the vortex that is Facebook I get it. It’s the coolest thing going. I’ve got my hands full trying to keep GMG the very best it could be. Signing up for Facebook would undoubtably mean that the blog would suffer and we can’t have that now, can we?
Anyway, I’m asking all you Facebook freaks out there if you dig GMG could you pass along the link along to your pals on Facebook for them to check out GMG?
Here’s the link for you to copy and paste-

This is Joey.
Joey needs coffee.
Without coffee, Joey is crabby.
Coffee makes him happy.
Be happy Joey!
Drink more coffee.
Where’s this Great Blue flying? Joey, it isn’t Niles Pond. Not even close!
Have fun!
The 10 year old and I went “up the line” yesterday despite her disdain for shopping ( A girl that hates shopping!!??). With the promise of Newbury Comics thrown in, she willing went along with the trip to Trader Joe’s and TJ Maxx. Her mom had given her $10 and it was really cool how she made decisions on what to buy. So with a $4 purchase of pomegranate seeds (which she ate with chopsticks) and my $2 bag of Unburied Treasure (almost like cheese curls, but better), we did a little clothes shopping and then off in search of the now infamous Electronic Yodelling Pickle.
Kylie had never been to Newbury Comics before, but I talk about it often and she had $6 left to spend at this cool store. There was some adult stuff that I steered her away from, but she loved the Red Sox dog leashes and collars, checked the prices $15 each. No go.
We wandered through the store checking out the merchandise which is among the albums (yes, vinyl), CDs, and other music.
This happy little guy caught our attention and Kylie thought they would be great for the puppy. Ha! More laundry for Mom!
We walked around the store 3 times, Kylie with the $6 in her hand and me in a futile search for the PICKLE!
She finally settled on a pack of chewing gum that snaps the fingers of your victim as they take a piece and a kit to grow snow??!!
I bought a ping pong set for the dining room table and asked the salesguy about the pickle. He said there had been a sell-out and more would be in in the next few days…WHA???? A secret sector of society pilfering pickles!
So while we wait we’ll place our bets on these guys-
It’s the brawl to end them all! Captain Corndog and Baron Von Broccoli will settle their ongoing feud once and for all in a knock-down, drag-out battle. The winner will become the undisputed feature dish of your kitchen! Next to the pickle….of course!
Have a great day!
Good Morning Gloucester
