Since most of the houses here are weekend and/or summer cottages, lawn care is a weekend thing. It is early in the season. Mrs.V and I are the only summer people opened up so far on the Circle.

Too chilly to sit on the porch this morning.
But fear not! I can still hear the lawnmowers. Recent rains have encouraged the grass giving the mowers something to do.

That was the time of student activism opposing the war in Vietnam including the student strike following the Kent State shootings. Looking back I think that the MIT administration handled those as well as possible. For...

Local WLNG radio news just reported that only a small number of Peconic Bay scallops survived the winter. Spawning will be below normal this year. This fall's scallop harvest season will once again be dismal.
Scientists continue to study the causes of this.

Our neighbor to the right broke his ankle today. He is 11 years older than we are.
Both his daughters are here. The younger one just brought him back from the hospital.
Mrs. V spoke with the older daughter. Neighbor should be OK but for a while he can't go upstairs.
