Black Crowned Bookends
Hi Joey,
I found a pair of Black Crowned Night Herons hunting together off of Rocky Neck the other night. These guys are great hunters and you can hear them squawking loudly as they hunt in the dark.
Enjoy!

Farmers’ Market
I love the Farmers’ Market on Thursday afternoon, the food is great, the vendors are all helpful, the only problem I have it takes me over an hour to shop. Now most people who know me probably can guess why. (exercising my jaw)

Abraham Maslow Quote of The Week From Greg Bover
August 2 2013
“If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life.”
– Abraham Maslow 1908-1970
A New York native and professor at Brooklyn College, Maslow moved to Brandeis University during the 50’s and 60’s. He created a humanistic school of psychology that advanced self-actualization as a path for personal growth, almost Taoist in its then revolutionary rejection of materialism. At a time when most academic psychologists studied dysfunction, he looked at how self-motivated, well-adjusted people ordered their lives. His books include Toward a Psychology of Being (1968) and The Farther Reaches of Human Nature (1971), and his “Hierarchy of Needs,” a pyramidal diagram showing the interrelated nature of personal necessities, has become an iconic graphic. Among his many other memorable quotes: “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”

Fred Bodin Covers The 2013 Sidewalk Bazaar
Sidewalk Bazaar 2013
Thursdays during the Bazaar are usually very slow, but not this one, as you can see. We’re looking to the west toward the end of Main Street.
Too busy to eat but famished, I escaped to Passports up the street. The owner, Eric, was outside serving up lobster rolls, and late in the day they were reduced to $10 from $12. They’re made Joey C. style, with mayo and no or minimal condiments. There was probably a full lobster in this sandwich, and I apologize for eating 1/4 of it before taking a picture. The willpower is weak when you’re hungry. Passports will have them again tomorrow.
Interesting aside: While struggling to remember the correct phrase for “the willpower is weak,” I considered going into Jalapenos to ask, but that might have been kind of weird. But just then, a couple came into the gallery. It was, I found out, Kay Lazor, a reporter for the Boston Globe, and her husband, who voluntarily helps her with editing (he was an editor for the Boston Herald). They thought “willpower” was good, and corrected my usage of commas. I don’t know them, but I realize I need to brush up on my “AP Stylebook” and “Strunk and White’s Elements of Style.” Life is so interesting, and tomorrow will be a zoo on Main Street and in the gallery. I rush forward to meet it. http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/health/blogs/white-coat-notes/2013/07/30/summer-first-batch-mosquitoes-with-eee-found-amherst/zUCgZIuxPt7kIHdPi5kFRK/blog.html
Tomorrow we’ll be open at 9am. Outside we’ll feature Laura Jardullo (left) of the Dress Code with her feathered hair bands, and I’ll have 50 newly (today) arrived pieces of Dave Matthews’ pottery at discounted prices. Photo taken in front of the gallery.
