Douchebag of the day award goes to…
This guy.
At Market Basket. Close to the front door. Not way far away.
You sir are a douchebag.
Who does this? Like what kind of human being takes up two parking spaces close to the front door of the busiest parking lot in town? Do you think this person has a single friend?

Tipping the Scales
So, here’s my question this week. Do you tip on ice cream? I’d like to think I’m a pretty decent tipper. When figuring out a tip on a tab at dinner or for drinks, I usually go for 22%…more than the maybe average 20% but not a full 25% because that feels a little bit excessive. I also usually err on the side of caution if I’m not totally certain that tipping is necessary but would be appreciated. I try to survey the scene and see if others are tipping first…like on a shuttle bus to/from the airport. If others are, I do. But…if others aren’t…I feel even worse and so I tip then as well.
So, the other day, the boys and I stopped for ice cream and, after having paid in exact change, I only had a $20 bill left. I agonized a bit because that left me with nothing to put into the little tip cup. I walked away feeling totally guilty….but then thought, “Well, is it necessary or just kind of rare, but appreciated, to tip the person who scoops a couple of ice cream cones for you?” My modus operandi is to give my spare change if it is close to like 75 cents…or $1 if my change is less than that. Is that cheap?
So, what do you do?

Mayor Romeo Theken and Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub President Charlie Noyes signing the declaration.
Moving Gloucester Forward!
Today before an international delegation from the Seafood Expo North America held at the Gloucester House Restaurant luncheon, Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken announced a brand new partnership between Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub, Gloucester Seafood Processing, and Fishermen’s Wharf. Ninety Nine will source local seafood from Gloucester to all of its 105 New England restaurants.
“The City of Gloucester would like to thank the Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub for this new business opportunity for the Gloucester seafood industry. The relationship between our city and the Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub would not have happened if it were not for the strength of Gloucester seafood and its world-renowned products, ” said Mayor Theken
“The Ninety Nine Restaurant and Pub is based here in Massachusetts and as part of our culture, we strive to build local partnerships with communities across the region. We see today’s announcement, and our decisions to contract Gloucester Seafood as a smart way to support our efforts to offer healthy, fresh, local options to our guests,” said President Charlie Noyes. “We are proud to support the local economy and offer Gloucester seafood to our guests given its strong reputation in the marketplace.”

Breaking: Last Night’s Aurora Borealis at Old Garden Beach Rockport
Roger Porter got a great shot of the Aurora Borealis last night looking north from Old Garden Beach in Rockport. All you need is a good view of the northern horizon and some sign that an Aurora might happen. Go here to the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club Web Site and click on the Ephemerides menu and click Aurora. This will give you the odds as to an aurora happening.
