For GOT fans, especially those who let down by the final season….House of Dragon last night was very good. I was skeptical at first but it drew me in right away, the series started off with a bang.

So what’s the issue exactly? That people are paying for permits and then they pull the rug out and you can’t drive on the beach for most of the summer?

Closures used to be 0 days, the 12 days, then 30, then 50, then 70.  We now get 3 weeks a year in the summer based on a technicality of least terns being protected. There's millions of least terns and they're a "species of special concern" only in Massachusetts.

We all love the birds. No one is saying we want to have a Baja 1000 race down duxbury beach. We all want to protect the dunes.  Our money for stickers pay for coastal erosion mitigation.

Was a great beach day. That peninsula known as Duxbury beach is a treasure.  Stupid plovers threatening to close the whole place down. @amarshall leading the charge to prevent that.

To take a 2 hr conversation into a 30 second explanation. They've weaponized least terns into forcing a total closure on driving on oversand for 70+ days in the summer while facing a total closure in the coming years.  Our kids are 4th generation of driving on duxbury beach. No one wants to kill or threaten birds.  We can exist with the birds while preserving our historical activity of oversand access.  

We're lawyered up.  They backed us into a corner and we're coming out swinging.

Every year we are tempting fate when it comes to tropical 

We are so due and as a coastal business owner it scares the shit out of me.

Can’t wait for that stuff sliding through eastern CT to fizzle before it gets here 

Fizzle has occurred.  Was at a Duxbury Selectboard meeting earlier this week and the water commissioner was doing a presentation on just how dire our water situation is.  One of our rivers that feeds our drinking supply is down to 3" and unprecedented level.  Other towns like Pembroke essentially out of water.  Police in town patrolling for people using irrigation.

The water couldn't be any colder on the south shore. SW winds flip the water and we get 59 degree ice bath .

When those programs stopped in the 70s and 80s. ...those that left those offices knew this was coming.   It's just a lesser known perspective that mainstream media doesn't elaborate upon because there's no profit in news that exposes us to our ancient faults.

This all this. 

I'm a Massachusetts gun owner. I had to give my left nut with training and background checks to have what I have. My guns are locked up 25 ways to sunday with separate biometric ammo safes so it's a 2 step process to put all the pieces together. I have zero problem with every gun owner having to go through the same process.  

I will go to the grave saying that the 5k lb large black SUVs with Zanac'ed up soccer moms or dad in my kids school pick up line are just as/if not more dangerous than my large capacity inanimate objects I have in my possession.  

Uvalde is one giant political football with the media ignoring a whole lot of factors that goes into this.  Stop giving these people 3 weeks of fame. I refuse to watch the news to perpetuate this endless cycle. 

This country has a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem and a tyranny problem disguised as a security problem - Rogan

Did anyone check out the meteor shower last night? Hype?
