THANK YOU AND HUGE SHOUT OUT TO THE FIESTA NOVENA LADIES COMMITTEE

We sat down with LEGENDARY SAMO! The oldest Greasy Pole Champion and the ripe age of 42!

We could have sat and talked with him all night! He told us stories of walking the greasy pole at the age of 10, his first walk at the age of 15. Gave us some history lessons on the Greasy Pole, and some behind-the-photo stories! See if you can catch all the names dropped in this episode!

Whether you’re hearing these stories for the first time, I would like to take a trip back through Memory Lane! We promise this is been the best Fiesta Cast yet!

Morrison and His Funny Bike

The silhouette is unmistakable.

I’ll let him fill in all the cool features.  It’s pretty interesting.

I think battery technology is going to be the next big thing over the course of the next decade at least.  With solar and other things being able to charge gadgets and run homes and automobiles without polluting the environment.

Randolph Duke loves pork bellies and orange juice futures. 

Blue horseshoe loves Anacott Steel.

Joey Ciaramitaro loves battery technology.

Mark it down.

LITTLE PIP ZING ZANGING AROUND THE BEACH

What are these things called wings?

Pip grows rounder, stronger, and more capable of catching tiny sea creatures daily. We love watching the development of his wings especially. Soon his flying feathers will begin to grow. In the meanwhile, periodically throughout the day he does wonderfully zany-looking zing-zang-up-down-sideways-zig-zag mini flight tests throughout the day.

The Piping Plover’s soft sandy feather colors and patterns blend seamlessly with the surrounding beach habitat, but camouflage alone is not enough to keep the birds safe. The ability to fly to escape predatory danger is equally as important to Piping Plovers.

Massachusetts state wildlife biologists consider a Piping Plover fully fledged at 24 to 28 days, whereas federal wildlife biologists have determined a Piping Plover chick to be fully fledged at about 35 days. Judging from our observations of Little Chick last year, he did not fully fledge until five weeks old (35 days). He could manage brief sustained flight up to that time, but until he reached that five week milestone he was still at risk from predators, including and especially dogs and raptors.

Seventeen-day-old Pip needed lots of warming snuggles on this chilly Tuesday morning.
