It was pretty good.  Had not been to a "big" show since... 2017?

Some really talented musicians for guitar, drums, and vocals.  Not sure which category of music I would place them in... hard rock/progressive/hair metal?  

They need to work a bit on their stage presence, but their musicianship was very good.

 

That venue is great for a show like this.  I also expected a much younger crowd since our daughter introduced us to their music Very few kids.  Mostly people in their 30s-60s...

I saw them with my 13 yr old son at Mohegan Sun on Fri. Amazing show

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.

Water was so warm. 

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