OT - NO POLITICS August edition - The summer wind came blowin' in……

I plan on getting tickets for that game soon to take my daughter to her first Bruins game. Ideally we’re going to be on the glass for warmups. I keep saying it’s for her to try and get a puck but deep down I want one too

Get there early. Usually, Brad tosses pucks near us but he probably won't be playing.

That will probably affect traffic all the way to Tennessee lol

Went to the Tunbridge "Worlds" Fair in Tunbridge VT this weekend. It may be small but I would put it up against any fair in New England. Tons of working animals and judged items.

Just received the new Pfizer Covid vaccination. Waiting the customary 15.

I have the day off (tomorrow too), though I trust I won't need it.

Happy jabbing

Went to night 1 of Pearl Jam at Fenway last night. What a set. Going to be tough to beat on Tuesday

That's pretty much the same setlist they played on Day 1 at Wrigley. I went to Day 2 and they definitely mixed it up quite a bit.

I actually like the setlist better from the first show, but I still enjoyed the second.

Here's the setlist from the second Wrigley show..

 

[sooshii]

Never too old! Just remember the guy on stage is 74, and he's still putting on a show. Age is just a number. Enjoy!!

It was quite a show.

CNN is saying he may be charged federally with sex trafficking, racketeering and possibly gun charges. The lawsuits against him were wild enough (I stand with all his victims) but the indictment may blow all of that away.

This is cracking me up

"I've got a turkey attacking my cruiser "

"10-4 he has no fear"

"I tried to use my siren to scare him off and I think he took it as a challenge"

"Do you need backup for the turkey attack?" "Negative, trying to de-escalate, currently negotiating"

"I don't know how many mornings I've spent under a tree trying to get them close to me and I can't get this one to go away"

"I'm in foot pursuit... suspect two feet tall.... short beard"

It's the Harvest Full Moon tonight! It is a super moon as well, and there is a partial eclipse here. It will be clear, so it should be beautiful to see. The Northern Lights were visible last night too, maybe again tonight. What a summer for astronomers and star gazers!

Imagine looking up at the night sky and seeing the moon appear larger and brighter than usual.

Well September's full moon will appear more bigger than normal because it is what's known as a supermoon.

That's not all, it is also a Harvest Moon and it will look as though a small bite has been taken out of it because of a partial lunar eclipse.

All of these things come together to make the Super Harvest Moon eclipse.

The spectacular sight will be visible in the early hours of the morning on 18 September from the UK, Europe, North and South America and Africa.

So how is this any different than the last 4 years...or the 4 years before that?

Drove up to see Hans Zimmer last night. 60 miles in, 60 miles home. On the way in, the first 55 miles took the same amount of time as the last 5 miles. Took about an hour 15 which I can understand. It was about what I expected. Coming back I should've known better. Multiple accidents on 93 South, lane closures at the Braintree split, more lane closures on 128 dropping 4 lanes to 1. Then right when things got moving quickly on the 24 Raceway, some fog rolled in so I laid off a bit. Hour and 40 to get home. Miserable

Wild turkeys are not to be trifled with.

My mother's late husband was a Marine and led men in Vietnam.

His encounter with a pack of wild turkeys in an alley next to a dumpster, in the city of Detroit no less, would curl your toenails.

I live in Newton Highlands now, which has its wooded areas, but we had turkeys in East Watertown, too. Usually around this time of year and later. I'm glad I never had a face to face.

Avoid at all cost and give a wide berth,

Speaking of water fowl (after a fashion),

Who dresses the 'Make Way for Ducklings' ducks?

A bronze sculpture of a mother mallard leading her eight ducklings in a line has stood in the Boston Public Garden since 1987.

been on a mental health leave for 6 weeks, have been undergoing some intense therapy with a wonderful therapist who suggested I get the hell out of the organization I am with which is not a problem as they have treated me like crap.

Scored a 2nd interview with a local college here in HR, it`s a competition and meeting the big wigs Thursday, no clue how many others are in the running but all fingers and toes crossed

Man, south of the city blows with traffic. Apparently also near midnight.
