Check out this Lobster Weathervane. The guy a couple doors down from Dominos Pizza now sells a wide variety of weathervanes. The same guy that sharpens knives and fixes lawn mowers.

Obviously this one appealed to me. I don’t have a cupola to attatch it to but I’m seriously considering putting one up.

John J. Ronan Writes About The Media Betrayal Of Gloucester

My buddy Janice forwarded this to me-

In Gloucester, poetic license or media lies?

Media’s coverage fishy in Gloucester

By John J. Ronan |   Sunday, July 13, 2008  |  http://www.bostonherald.com |  Op-Ed

Winslow Homer’s Gloucester is dynamic, hardworking and beautiful. In “Shipbuilding: Gloucester Harbor” and “Sailing Out of Gloucester,” he captured heritage and beauty at once. “Gloucester Houses” and “Prospect Street,” under the hammer of Edward Hopper’s light, portray a strong, stable Gloucester. In 2008, the city is still dynamic, hardworking, stable – and beautiful.

For those who know this, and love Gloucester because of it, the coverage of teen pregnancies here dismays. Not the factual coverage. It is tragic that so many girls, for the bleakest reasons, chose to become pregnant. The city is saddened by this and working to stop what has to be termed an epidemic.

The message is not the problem. Embarrassment is not a problem, either; no one I know is afraid of confronting a flawed civic self in the mirror. It’s the lie that’s a problem.

Coffee Table Base at Bob and Dave’s On Bass Ave

This is a gorgeous base for a coffee table.  It’s pretty good sized and would beautify any beachy home with it’s presence and a piece of glass from Seaside Glass.
