Fabulous. Thanks for the info!

Anyone seeing any hummingbirds yet in Southern New England? They usually return in May, and we want to have the feeders ready for them after their long journey. Amazing birds!

1.18 so far. Lawn and new shrubs look happy. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

If you listen to Like A Rolling Stone, the cadence of parts of it sound very much like a precursor to rap.

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand Vanished from my hand Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship My senses have been stripped My hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun It's not aimed at anyone It's just escaping on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facing And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time It's just a ragged clown behind I wouldn't pay it any mind It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time Far past the frozen leaves The haunted frightened trees Out to the windy beach Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky With one hand waving free Silhouetted by the sea Circled by the circus sands With all memory and fate Driven deep beneath the waves Let me forget about today until tomorrow Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Wow, quite Dylanesque!

When I have to start getting back on the computer rail, I'll be wearing a mask. I'll probably also continue wearing one when grocery shopping and in other big crowded stores. I haven't even had a hint of a cold since all of this started, so why not keep wearing the mask. No big deal to me.

Fixed it for you.

3.6" at Blue Hill. Over 2.5" of rain (and melted snow) at my house. Backyard is a sloppy mess.

Sleet mixing in with the rain in this band backing in now. Temp up to 34 and skies getting noticeably brighter. Slotting soon?

Looks like it is back to mostly rain or snizzle here.

Streets covered down here too. Did not expect that, but it has been pounding. About 1/2 inch now, so only need another 11.5 to reach the lower end of George's forecast. Think I'll come up just a little short.

Ground covered, but turkeys don't care. Down to 33. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Flipped to snow and temp down to 35. Almost no wind now after being quite breezy earlier.

Temp down to 38; dropped 4 degrees in the last hour. Mangled flakes mixing in, but don't expect to see much more than that. Over an inch of rain since midnight. Give me back last Saturday's 79F.

On my mother's side, my grandmother lived to 94, one aunt lived to 89, another aunt lived past 100. My mother died at 54 from ovarian cancer, but her twin brother lived to 90. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at 50, and apparently there is a genetic link between ovarian and prostate cancers. Hope I dodged the bullet and hit my 90s like the others!

Meanwhile, back on planet Earth . . .

Sun is out and temp shot up to 71 and dew point is 63. DP seems high, but it does feel slightly sticky.

Yeah, just found a YouTube video. That was the sound. Thanks. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

We heard some sort of frogs today in the Blue Hills. Must have been hundreds of them in a wet area or vernal pond. Much deeper sound than peepers. Also saw first snake of the season. Wonder if the rattlers have been out sunning themselves in the parking lots on Wood Road? Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

I have been to the place in North Chelmsford once, and if I remember correctly it is down in a basement. When I first started bowling competitively in the early 1970s, I bowled at a 32 lane house in Seekonk. Almost all lanes were filled with leagues at 7:00 and 9:00 every night of the week. I bowled in a traveling league and we must have gone to 15 or 20 different places just in southeastern Massachusetts. Times have changed. Don't remember any duckpin places in Maine, but I'm sure there were some at one time. There was even a place up in Burlington Vermont. For those who don't know what duckpins are, here is comparison of different bowling pins. Left to right: rubberband duckpin, duckpin, Canadian five pin, candlepin, tenpin.

Mainly southern New England and Mid Atlantic, but the number of places that have closed in the last 20 to 30 years is staggering. Only 2 left in Massachusetts. 6 lane house in North Chelmsford and 10 lane house in Billerica. I bowl in Warren, Rhode Island. 18 lane house is one of only 6 left in the state. Maybe a dozen left in Connecticut.

Duckpin. I drive down to Rhode Island. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk

Had my second Pfizer does yesterday and also had a slight headache. Also felt a little spacier than usual last evening for a little bit. Last night was my bowling league, and I did feel a little achier than normal this morning but it could also be my 66 year old bones. Overall, really no big deal for me with any reaction. Feels great to have it done!!!
