My View of Life on the Dock
Large school of Atlantic white-sided dolphin off coast of Gloucester MA. Dolphin are as curious about people as some people are about them. They like to eat, play (riding bow and stern waves), and get bored quickly. Sound familiar?”

Iain talks with Thom Falzzarano and Donna Ardizzoni of GMG
I met Rick a Big fan of GMG At The State Fish Pier. He enjoys checking it out everyday to see what’s going on here on our Island Paradise. He thought the Sunday Mug Ups were by invitation only. I told him and any Fan like him can come down Sunday Mornings at 10am and get some Coffee and some great food. No obligation to buy anything at all. Rick seems like a great guy and I look forward to talking to him again.
Here’s a photo of Rick Representin’ and The Eurodam video I took today. Rick also is my color commentary on the last part of this video when you see the shuttle boat arriving at the CruisePort.

After battling and documenting raccoons tearing into our trash time and time again and trying a whole slew of different types of methods to avoid having to pick up garbage left behind strewn all over the walkway we discovered an organic way to deter the little bastards.
Red Pepper Flakes!
Since the Mrs has been sprinkling red pepper flakes all over the lid and top of the trash bags we have been without incident in over a month! Thank god because I’m such a pussy I don’t even want to open the door to club them over the head with a baseball bat and this seems like a whole lot easier method than going all Rambo on them.
Saw this guy in the back of a pick-up truck this morning after being caught in a trap. The owner of the pick-up truck is doing the humane thing and bringing it to the woods where he will pour gasoline on it and let it on fire release it back to the wilderness.

I shot up out of bed like a rocket figuring that the maniac (Snoop Maddie Mad) finally figured out how to climb out of her crib and had landed with a thud.
The Mrs, startled said no, it didn’t sound like a small child hitting the floor and we would have heard her wailing.
Then silence and we hear shuffling outside… GODDAMN RACCOONS!
We’ve been having a problem with them for about a month and last week started putting bungee cords over the lids of the trash cans. Little bastards still got into the trash.
