My View of Life on the Dock
With Gloucester awash from a wicked storm nobody knows what may swim into town. If you come upon a creature like this please notify NOAA, for the unicornfish is quite rare. According to Fishes of the Gulf of Maine by Bigelow and Schroeder (1953) only two specimens have been found, both caught on the western edge of Georges in 1930 by the schooner OLD GLORY.

I love the things you encounter on drives around the Cape. I hope to see her out on the water soon as well.
GMG Jimmy and I recently attended a program held at the Rose Baker Senior Center presented by Beth Welin, Directory of the Manchester Historical Museum. This program focused on the Grand Hotels of Gloucester in the Gilded Age and included many hotels familiar to Gloucester residents: Oceanside, Fairview, Hawthorne, Moorland and Thorwald. Ms. Welin reported that many of these grand hotels suffered major fires. Several of those fires were suspected arson.
This piqued my interest and, armed with some name and dates, we went directly from the program to Sawyer Free Library to do some research. Technically, I did the research. I think GMG Jimmy enjoyed some coffee. I digress.
As I approached the Gloucester local history collection, I was delighted to see some new equipment available for researchers interested in reading microfilm. Archivist Katelynn Vance was pleased to show off the new digital scanner from which you can manipulate, save to flash drive or email the images!! WOOT WOOT She also took some time to show me some of the other microfilm available for research besides a full run of the Gloucester Daily Times including the Boston Globe and the New York Times. I was in research heaven. I had such a good time, GMG Jimmy had to drag me away, but I’ll be going back sooner than later.
This is one of the images as I saw it on the new scanner from the December 11 1958. I sent myself a jpeg file of this image to my email. BOOM!
This is the picture file….MAGIC!
Welcome to the Sawyer Free Library, STimaging ST ViewScan 4! I love you.
Calm before the storm–from an exquisitely sunny and peaceful morning on the Neck.
Hedwig is the gift that keeps on giving! What a joy to see her awakening in the rising full moon last night. She preened and fluffed, then flew through the moonlight to a nearby phone pole.
The wind was whipping up and ruffling Hedwig’s feathers, making her look extra fine in the glow of the Snow Moon rising.
Dear Friends,
While I am sorting through the challenges of one of the hard drives for my Monarch film crashing, I have been organizing the Snowy footage. Captured in photos and on film, we have her bathing, passing a pellet, pooping, eating, flying, and much more, and is going to make a terrific short film. It’s a mystery to me exactly where she goes when she disappears for several days and I am hoping to document every aspect of her stay in Gloucester. She has been spotted at several locales in East Gloucester, Salt Island, and Twin Lights but, if by chance, she is a regular visitor to your yard, please write and let me know. The best way to keep the information from becoming public knowledge is to email me at kimsmithdesigns@hotmail.com. I am also looking for a few minutes of footage of a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) as they are closely related to Snowies (Bubo scandiacus), so please write and let me know if you have a resident Great Horned Owl. Thank you so much for any leads given 🙂
Full Snow Moon Rising
Gloucester Emergency Flooding Alert [Code Yellow Alert Issued 3/1/2018 6 PM]
LONG DURATION COASTAL STORM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
Tides will be astronomically high from Thursday night (3/1/2018) through all of Saturday (3/3/2018) with a coastal storm and storm surge increasing coastal flooding and property damage. Power outages, road closures, and other emergency incidents are expected in the next 24 to 48 hours and we strongly recommend all citizens to prepare accordingly.
Additionally, we caution all citizens who are in low lying areas that are prone to flooding to be aware and prepare accordingly. Any home or business that was previously affected by recent storms and flooding should especially take caution.
Coastal properties facing East, NorthEast may be severely affected by the predicted storm surge and significant wave action.
Precautionary measures should be taken immediately to best prepare, including voluntary evacuation prior to the storm. All residents should avoid these areas, as well as avoiding driving through any flooded areas.
Strong winds may cause power outages and we are asking citizens to shelter in place. If your home is being flooded or if you are in danger, call 911 for immediate assistance. Emergency teams are prepared to assist anyone in need so call 911 right away.
Roads may be slick in areas, so we remind all to take caution if driving. Roadways most prone to splash-over at astronomically high tides will be at greatest risk of inundation.
Updates will be forthcoming and will be shared on the City of Gloucester website and social media pages so please visit http://www.gloucester-ma.gov. Thank you for your assistance and please use 911 for any flooding or emergency needs.
