Licensing Granted May 1915
While we are waiting for some area “victuallers” (persons providing or selling food) to be granted their licenses and approvals, perhaps you will see familiar names on this list from the Gloucester Daily Times May 14 1915. My great grandfather appears here.

New Era Releases “Team Described” Red Sox Cap With Paul Revere and A Lobster Roll On It
People that know me know that I’m a huge lobster roll guy.
So when even I think these caps look like dogshit, you know they’re really horrendous. Whoever designed these needs to find a new profession. Huge fail.

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL SNOWY OWLS
I haven’t seen any Snowies yet this winter on Cape Ann; there simply seem to be fewer that migrated to our region than there were several years ago when Hedwig was the star of the backshore.
These Snowy Owl photos were taken earlier in the month at Parker River. The dirt road, the one that begins after the Hellcat Trail, has reopened, although I wouldn’t recommend going there on the weekends, much better to go during the week. There are so many photographers and owl lovers on the weekends, especially in the afternoon, that it has become really disruptive to the owls, both the Snowies and Short-eared. Even though folks are very respectful and (most) stay on the road, the Short-eared Owls aren’t catching much food, as far as I can observe, when there are great crowds chasing them up and down the road.
