Accidental Parade (P365/February 28)

Went to Home Depot today for some supplies for the farm renovation.  While there, we stumbled onto a parade for Seabrook’s own Olympic athlete, Scott Lago.  It was a short, strange parade, with a few fire engines interspersed with regular traffic.  Of course all I had handy was my cell phone camera.  This is [...]

Catching up on P365

February 25 – the weather men missed again.  What should have been a little wind and rain turned into a full-blown Nor’easter without the snow.  We experienced major destruction in the region, with our power infrastructure virtually destroyed.  This is at the end of my street.  Two poles and wires down, and this is [...]

Project 365 – February 25

I don’t know very much about Drug [...]

Project 365 – February 23

Went to the vet today.  My silly dog kept her ears up and tail wagging virtually the whole time.

Kryptonite

She was born before the Great War. She grew up in an era when transportation was primarily by foot or horse. Here in The City you could go almost anywhere on an electric streetcar for a nickel. She has survived two World Wars, a Depression, a Cold War, the Great Society, the rise and fall [...]

Clouds & FLIR (Project 365 - February 20/21)

Clouds over the marshes in Hampton, NH.

A Joke Too Far

or “How to Create a Major Multi-Jurisdictional Homeland Security Incident Without Even Trying.”

Step 1: Find a location interesting to law enforcement such as a port or air terminal. For our purposes, we’ll use a small local harbor. Our harbor doesn’t have much shipping, but it does have day tours, fishing boats, and lots of [...]
