Three Guesses As To Who Had A Hand In Building The Awesome Mystery GMG Sign
I’m really not sure how much I could thank the person/s involved in putting this thing together but I’m going to give daily guesses til I figure it out.
Guess # 1 David Calvo.
Reason- David naturally works with wood and has been a FOB for a while. He was one of my original suspects but yesterday’s comment he left on the post- “What happened? It wasn’t there this morning.” Leads me to believe he could be involved. The sign was installed under Captain Joe and Sons sign under the cover of darkness and taken down before noon. It was there when I got to work in the morning. The photo we took was with the sign in the office. So how did he know it had been displaced? hmmmm This places him in the number one suspect slot.
Guess #2a and 2b Bex Borden with or without the help of Ed Collard
Bex if anyone saw her on the campaign trail knows by that Ace Hardware shirt she proudly wore during her campaign video as well as during the debate so she would have access to the type of hardware that was attached at the top of the sign. Bex is also very creative and not afraid of working with tools. The reason I add in our long lost pal Ed Collard is because Ed is “The original” handyman and was working with Bex on her campaign for ward 1.
Would you just look at all three photo suspects- all scream guilty as hell.
So there you go. Anyone else care to venture a guess?

New Delhi Singer Subhadra Desai at the Annisquam Village Church Sunday October 25th
New Delhi singer/scholar Subhadra Desai, an artist with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations and All India Radio, brings a concert of Hindu devotional music to the Village Church on October 25, at the close of the morning worship service (after coffee, at 11:30).
A contemplative vocalist of Hindustani classical music, Desai has performed at prestigious Indian national festivals and other religious and academic forums. As a scholar of Sanskrit, she draws close to the wellsprings of Indian tradition. Her performance, with tabla and harmonium, reveal a purity of purpose and form. Familiar ragas become the vehicle for sacred texts, taking on a life of their own.
Desai honors the memory of Swami Vivekananda who spoke in 1893 at the Village Church when he came to the states to represent the east at the World Council of Religions, introducing Yoga to the west, as well.
Bring friends to join us for this rare and beautiful concert, free and open to all, midday on Sunday.

LIVE BLOGGING FROM NEW LED STREET LIGHTS
I am not exactly sure what we are comparing as light number one is one large bulb, light number two is three bulbs, and light numbers three and four each have four bulbs.
New LED Light above
Existing Light
I would describe the color of the LED lights not as blueish as I have heard described, but greenish. They appear extremely harsh, with an eerie and unwelcoming quality.

URGENT IMPORTANT CITIZEN INPUT NEEDED REGARDING NEW STREETLIGHTS
I LOVE CHANGE, CHANGE FOR THE BETTER THAT IS. IS THIS A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER? ARE WE COMMITTED TO THE NEW STREET LIGHTS? HOW DO YOU FEEL LED LIGHTS WILL AFFECT THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHETHER 4000K OR 3000K OR NO CHANGE?
Two variations on LED streetlights being considered by the city have been set up for evaluation. The test installations are the first four lights on the west side of Washington Street just south of Gee Avenue.There are two types, rated at 3,000 degrees Kelvin and 4,000 degrees Kelvin. The “color” of the light is slightly different between the two types.
People concerned about light pollution and the effect of the lights on wildlife have been advocating for the 3,000K lights. Send your comments to Matt Coogan in the City’s Planning Department. His email address is:

PLEASE READ THIS OPINION PERTAINING TO THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHER COMMUNITIES WITH THE LED LIGHTS
Ruining That Moody Urban Glow
OCT. 17, 2015
…In interviews with the media, my fellow experimental subjects have compared the nighttime environment under the new streetlights to a film set, a prison yard, “a strip mall in outer space” and “the mother ship coming in for a landing” in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” Although going half-blind at 58, I can read by the beam that the new lamp blasts into our front room without tapping our own Con Ed service. Once the LEDs went in, our next-door neighbor began walking her dog at night in sunglasses.
Medical research has firmly established that blue-spectrum LED light can disrupt sleep patterns. This is the same illumination that radiates in far smaller doses from smartphone and computer screens, to which we’re advised to avoid exposure for at least an hour before bed, because it can suppress the production of melatonin. The tribute to “the city that never sleeps” was meant to celebrate a vibrant cultural night life — not a town of hollow-eyed “Walking Dead” insomniacs.
While the same light has also been associated with increased risk of breast cancer and mood disorders, in all honesty my biggest beef with LEDs has nothing to do with health issues. These lights are ugly. They’re invasive. They’re depressing. New York deserves better.

Live From The Pit- Beef Back Ribs Live Smoke @CaptJoeLobster Check Back For Updates
Stop and Shop East Gloucester Had Some Beautiful Beef Back Ribs This Morning.
Hit em with the Paul Prudhomme Rub (RIP Paul Prudhomme)
And set up the grill for a low and slow session seeking grill temps between 250-275.
Two hours in. Temps on the pit have been consistently between 250-275. Starting to get a little pullback on the bones.
After three hours I pulled them off sauced them with some stubbs bbq sauce and wrapped them up in doubled over aluminum foil.
Forty five more minutes on the grill foiled-up and they were ready to eat.
