Each segment is a folded from a single square of paper with no cuts or glue. The design is from a book I bought more than twenty years ago. It is all in Japanese, by Yoshihide Momotani. There are instructions for other types of train cars as well. The theme of the book is transportation, so there are also boats, cars, etc., but in my opinion the train is the best of what the book has to offer.

Hey, Joey!
I wanted to let your readers know we finally got a shipment of Big Mike’s Bikes water bottles in! A lot of people asked for them last season, but we were so busy with tune-ups and service we didn’t get to ordering them until after the holidays. They are BPA free, are made and printed in the USA, and have a nifty little rubber gasket and spout so you don’t have to gnaw on plastic to get them open. They’re $3.99 here at the shop at 50 Maplewood Ave. Right now we’re on winter hours, so Tue-Thu 10-6 and Fri-Sat 10-3, but we’ll be back to 7 full days a week when the weather gets nice.
Thanks!

Shot this this afternoon… It’s an Aerial Video of portions of Stage Fort Park.
There is a New Set of Propellers on the machine that haven’t been balanced yet and they are causing some distortion…
Will have the problem corrected this weekend.

The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.
This week we are celebrating the cod. We photographed Connolly Seafoods’ day boats returning with cod they had hooked “the old fashion way” according to one of the fisherman.

There are so many galleries, restaurants, interesting and historic places to see and things to do on Rocky Neck that I could probably create six more of these and not scratch the tip of the iceberg of photos I have taken. Artsy, fun, quirky, unique, fascinating, historic, beautiful Rocky Neck.

Scientists are still trying to figure out what happened here . . .
Watch the Asteroid 2012 DA14 LIVE as it passes by Earth today. NASA will broadcast LIVE Video of the asteroid beginning at 2pm (click here) when it passes closer to earth than the GPS satellite you use to find your way around Boston. They say nobody on Earth is in danger . . .
Joey’s astute observation about our increasing overuse of euphemisms deserves more than a mere comment in support of his legitimate question. My favorite answer to this issue (and the funniest, too) was given by George Carlin some years ago. Check it out:
Now that the issue is settled, we can move on to the tremendous amount of fun we can all have this weekend. Given two dozen terrific live music choices — with plenty of them early enough to bring the kids (or little people, if you prefer) you’d think we were in the height of Summer! Check out the complete weekend live music schedule here. (I’ll be sitting in on drums tonight at the Walker Creek Band 30th Anniversary Celebration).
