Fred Shrigley says,
If you are coming to the Rhumb Line be aware that most of Washington St is under construction and parking is impossible after 8am in the morning…cones are everywhere. I will see if the construction crews can remove the cones after they are finished their day’s work. In the meantime:
Plenty of parking a short walk away at the MBTA parking lot which is free at night and mostly empty
Friends enjoy lunch at the Azorean
Sure seemed like the dog days of summer these past few days. I think the dogs would agree.

I was looking at the video of the lightning strike again this morning and found this additional frame just after the one I sent to you last night.
A quick transition from a chilly spring to a summer heat wave. The Rhododendrons are blossoming from buds, the Chickadees are at work (I think he’s supervising and she’s building), just a lone coyote on the Audubon land, a first sail past Eastern Point light, and an Eider extended family enjoys a swim along Raymond Beach.

I was recently studying the area we live on a nautical map and noticed the terms “Subm piles” and “Subm Groin”. I had to wonder…… because I am easily amused, the fact that the piles were south of the groin on this map of Freshwater Cove brought a giggle forward.
I concluded that “subm” must indicate submerged (I am not without some insight) and I had an idea what piles were in nautical terminology. I asked around a bit about “groin” without success. So, I googled it…….
According to the National Park Service, groins are used to maintain beaches and limit “longhsore sediment transport” (erosion?). And now we all know. It’s your “News You Can Use” segment of the blog…….
