    kinda interesting.   There a cluster of general sheet lighting and embedded downpours in moderate rain over eastern CT and eastern L.I. and Sound that's training up  behind those cells.

    SE Mass may end up with a water surplus- haha.

    Seriously, I remember in 1998, the water temperature at Narra. Beach was near or in history.  I remember leaning over the causeway wall as the water clapped and rolled around kelp-maned boulders, and from the 20 or so foot vantage the water in the shallows was beginning to take on that more translucent form of blue-green. You can tell it was kinda of still not there but trying?  The swim temp was above 75 F if even warmer than that, and we were bouncing around in the waves for like 5 straight hours. If anything were feeling kind of hot from all the physical exertion of marathon boogie-boarding.  Man, ..memories of being young enough to take those gut punches.  That was back when the hot-dogs still caused colon polyps and coke hadn't moved through the formula change.  Don't miss the cigarette smoke wafting past ...though at night, we'd be candid in Tiva's, torn now out-moded utility shorts, white shirts buttons open with tanned abs, cigarettes and coconut rum drinks as we hopped bars along the shores roads of westerly RI.  Man, we'd still be playing beach volleyball by noon the next day. 

    Different life ... now a point of light out there from vantage of an aft observation deck as this star ship called 'Wasted Journey" unrelentingly speeds toward old age, exceeding the speed of no-time-concept or awareness while years click by at relative speed of seasons.

    I was sophomore at URI . The cigarette smoke were from my parliaments coming from CG house.  We surfed for an entire summer straight.

  3. Played Fenwick in Old Saybrook CT yesterday.  Probably one of the prettiest municipal golf courses in the Northeast.  My inlaws are in Old Lyme so I've been playing here for 20 years. It used to  be in horrible condition and they've brought it back to remarkable condition.

    I have mostly been fishing largemouth recently but want to try going for stripers. I don’t have a boat so I would be fishing off the bank. I live in interior sema around the Foxborough area, what areas would you guys recommend I try for striper fishing? 

    If you want to go for a drive race point beach p-town

    For back edge, I turned our rock outcropping into a bed several years ago. Slowly adding some more plants. 
    Ended up doing a strip by our fence to jazz it up.

    And we saw a big bear on Wednesday evening driving back from our daughter’s school. He was hanging in someone’s yard right by the road.   

    We have a bear on the South Shore right now.  EPOs have been letting him do his thing.  People in coastal towns are not used to seeing them so they're calling 911.  He's been ranging between Scituate and Duxbury.  Saw yoga pants and he's come back twice now to Duxbury.

    I purposely do not follow any news anymore. I used to be a real news junkie. I would read the major news sites all day, follow people on Twitter, and have cable news on in the background all the time.

    I gradually started to cut it all off in 2018 when the government silliness and infighting reached a crescendo, and the COVID/SJW nonsense of 2020 was so disgusting I finally just cut it all off. My wife and I do not consume any form of "news" at this point, aside from whatever we sometimes might see online in various places. People know not to turn it on in our house.

    I think 99% of it is propagandistic, jingoistic garbage designed to make the watcher scared, paranoid, angry, and compliant.

    I got rid of cable.  I refuse to watch network news.  Cut off Facebook in november.   Instragram only for cars boats and female anatomy.  Twitter for stocks and weather, delete any political content immediately. 

    Once you can cut yourself off from the cancer that is media your mental well being increases 200%  Media has pushed covid for ratings which in turn has pushed public policy which nearly crippled this country permanently.

    Not sure how you think it's not very likely when you looked at radar. Anyways, glad it's a Monday and not a Saturday.

    Getting porked south of you. Everything keep drying up 

  9. This is a traditional protein based vaccine that doesn't require super freezing.  Not a rushed through mrna vaccine with no long term studies. I got the mrna shots because I was required to for work. I would have waited for NVAX

    I feel like more of you need to pull back from the economic numbers and spend some time studying historical information on people’s lifestyles, quality of life, and spending habits under various economic and political systems across time. The “poor” in this country today are very rich in a relative sense and have access to luxury goods that people in past generations never dreamed of. The basic “starter” home is enormous compared to what it was in the past. Home ownership itself is mostly a dream even in large parts of Europe. Are you and your comrades ready to go back to a time when all you might have would be a small govt-subsidized apartment and a bus token? If you implement crushing taxes on the producers and cut-off foreign trade that’s what will happen to most middle class and below Americans because that’s how most urban dwellers lived in the past and how most people still live today in Europe and Asia. A reset in standard of living might be a good thing, I just find most of the suburban socialists expect that they will still be living in a McMansion and buying a new car each year even after the socialist paradise is implemented. 

    Lots of people in my town love socialist policies while living in $2 million homes.

  11. Was casting for stripers several times this weekend and came up empty. I don't think they're arrived in the Kennebec yet.  Others have started arriving so the stripers shouldn't be far behind.   It's pretty bountiful when they're running.  Hopefully by next weekend.

    Eerily quiet on the south shore. Charter boats are running to billingsgate shoals in Wellfleet to find the fish
