Maine lobsters molting #1

Chesapeake blue shells #1

Stonington Ct Pollock fish and Chips #1

VT Maple Syrup #1

RI clams out of salt water ponds #1

Portuguese Society of Stonington Ct seafood Lent Fridays #1

RI flounder is probably #1 and IMO flounder is the best for a fried fish sandwich.   Gun to head I'm partial to a grilled or blackened fish sandwich and for that you're better off going south, be it for mahi/grouper/snapper/porgy/yellowfins etc.  But it's all yummy, even boring ol baked haddock with butter and ritz crackers.

Is this supposed to be a forum of optimism or is it mostly negative pessimism. I'm about to ditch this forum. I've been on a few others and there is definitely more of discussions on what may happen for the Winter months with optimism. To many poeple on here like to " Poke the coals " and make this forum not an enjoyable place to discuss weather. Some of y'all are ruining it for the rest. 

All this over a days getting longer post?  Good thing LL isn't still here

It’s everywhere. I’m wondering if the Franklin Co.  numbers are so low because we’re isolated or because last January and February half the county, including my family,  had the “weird cough”.  
Honestly , I’m going to see if I can go get an antibody test. 

yep... almost everyone I know had it in that timeframe.  Not me, which I attributed at the time to a similar weird cough I had in the fall.  Coincidence I guess.

Regardless though, I would think antibodies might be gone by now, though there could be some residual T cell immunity.

I'm just happy the GFS and GEFS got a little more progressive with the system around Thanksgiving.  Let's get that thing out of here by early Thurs morning.  A lot of folks hoping to eat dinner outside.  We'll worry about snow later on.  That 4" in Oct has us up on climo for like another 3 weeks lol.

Meanwhile the Euro says pack em inside

ugly

Wachusett might open for a bit very soon. My son is on call if they decide to open. Not bad considering it was in the 70s last week

Looks like tomorrow is the day

Maybe somebody has experience with this one:

My mother is recovering from Covid and may be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.  At this point, she is not able to care for herself and we are having problems finding a rehab facility for her.  We have been advised that she will probably still be shedding the virus for another week+ and none of us children have had Covid.  Presumably in a couple of weeks she will be able to come home and take care of herself, but we need a way to bridge this.

Most rehabs don't want anything to do with a Covid+ patient (I understand the logic).

Any insights from other's experiences would be appreciated.

I can't imagine this is an isolated problem.

sorry you have to go through this, but glad she made it out of the hospital.  I have no experience here, but it might be worth asking the social worker at the hospital if they can help you acquire medical grade PPE. 

West Bridgewater isn't much better if coming in from the other way.  There isn't a skiing Masshole alive who can't attest.

I am friends with several officers in Greenfield and the surrounding towns and all of them have told me they are not enforcing masks in public. They will only respond to Store’s reporting disruptive customers. 

I have to say that compliance is damn close to 100% everywhere around here.  I can't recall the last time I've been inside in a public place and seen somebody not wearing a mask.

3 years ago at the San Diego airport on the day before Thanksgiving (busiest travel day of the year?) rather than take shoes off and go through the body scanner, they just made everybody walk past 3 dogs.  Dogs were happy, you were good.  And straight on through we went.  Was a breeze.

I’m talking about travel and not having to quarantine once you get there. 
And I’m posting on a SW flight right now. Somewhere just off Cape May if I read my geography correctly.

Nice.  SW is the best, and well poised to make a run if and when this is all behind us.  I can anecdotally vouch for the pent up travel demand possibilities.  Enjoy wherever.

Hippa doesn’t really apply. That only applies to giving information to health care entities. 
I’ve already seen Ticketmaster start to roll out the idea of an app that shows if you’ve had a negative test or have the vaccine to get into concerts. 
Everyone needs to get used to the idea that we will have to show “papers”. I don’t like it much, but I think if you want to go to Fenway, Gilllette, or get on an airplane, you’ll have to show proof of a negative test or vaccine. Might not be forever, but I’m pretty sure we’ll be dealing with these instructions for several years.
 

Per airlines, airplanes are extremely safe.  Why would they require a vaccine?

Will they put the rims back up on the backboards after the vaccine?

UMass covid tests come back in about 24 hours.  I'm 10 for 10.   Definitely my best test results ever there.

You think there's a lot of food on the edge now, just wait a couple weeks

All this soap and hand sanitizer... we need lanolin dispensers or something heading into winter...

Baker came right out and called the mask mandate "messaging" in a presser about a day after he issued it. 

We just lost a 4th rounder for BB using radarscope during the 2 minute warning

(Seems a tad high but still)

Decent rain here in the stuff out ahead but winds aloft were definitely not at all materializing on the valley floor.  Even the main line looks kind of meh on the X band.  But it's moving forward at a good clip so figure we'll get a decent gust or two... By that thinking 30s to 40?

Nice job by the nammy this morning with the long skinny line
