Video: End of the Season By Leslie Heffron

Hi Joey, The season’s winding down in Pigeon Cove. Here’s a one minute slice of life on the waterfront late Sunday afternoon.

Editor’s note: the season is far from over for everyone except the small part timers. We’re actually in the heart of it.

Those Wind Turbines

It has been a couple of years….close to 3 actually, I think…and we have grown accustomed to how those wind turbines look from different angles all around town.  I’d say that we almost don’t even notice them anymore, but that’d be a lie.  We do.  We still notice them.  Actually, my boys notice them enough to pay attention each weekday morning at about 7:25 and most afternoons around 4:45 to see how many (if any) are “spinning”.

They’ve been asking me off and on, for a long time, to explain why sometimes none are moving, sometimes just one, and sometimes 2 or even all 3 are in operation.

I’ve guessed that they operate as needed.  But I haven’t been able to satisfy their curiosity completely.  Does a person actually turn them on as necessary?  Do they turn themselves on?  Is there a schedule we have not yet noticed?  How much does weather actually play a role?  What’s the deal?

I’d love some help from our highly knowledgable FOBs!

Help a kid (or two) out if you’re in the know and have a second.

Thanks in advance!

Lots of Trick or Treaters on Main Street

Halloween on Main Street was a great success.  There were Peas in a Pod, Dapper Dogs, The Flintstones, Annie, Strawberry Short Cake, Super Heroes, Cleopatra,  Little Red Riding Hood and many more.  One of the most interesting was a mom with her infant in a snuggler dressed as a box of popcorn.  All in all a very fun time for all.

It’s time to get your orders in!

How can something so ugly taste so good?

My son Salvatore just made the order for our thanksgiving Turkey. We will be getting between a 16 and 20 pound bird this year. http://www.tendercropfarm.com/

I’m a cheap guy. So spending a few dollars more on a fresh Turkey is a big deal for me. But the Taste is worth it.

We go to Tendercrop Farm. I’m sure there are a few other Farms out there that GMG Readers can recommend.

Will Joey be Grilling a Turkey this year? I’ll pitch in if he wants to try one before Thanksgiving. Let him know if he should.

Veterans project reception…

Just a reminder that the Veterans exhibition will have open on November 7th with a reception at City Hall in Gloucester. It would be a great thing for as many people as possible to join in the celebration of these men and women. Please feel free to share this invite to your friends and family as well as other veterans organizations. I hope to see you there.
