Seriously?.. "It's Not The Local OR State Police" FAA won't tell WHO It is..
QUINCY (CBS) – A mystery in Quincy continues to deepen: Who is flying
around the city from dusk to dawn, for the past ten days or so?
“It’s frightening, not just weird, but frightening,” said one resident of the Wollaston section.
Every night for nearly the last two weeks, residents have spotted a low-flying aircraft doing loops over the city. WBZ has learned the FAA knows what’s going on, but the agency isn’t telling.
“I mean it is strange. I don’t know if they’re looking for somebody, I have no idea,” one resident told WBZ.
It’s not the state or local police doing the flying, and the FAA is giving out little information, even to city officials.

Detective Alerts ASSachusetts DTA To Massive Welfare Fraud.... Cue Cricket Noises....
This shows all that is wrong with our system...............
State welfare officials — despite a widely touted crackdown on fraud — never even returned the call of a Dedham cop who reported EBT benefits flowing to a house loaded with drugs and cash.
Police Detective Bob Walsh alerted the state Department of Transitional Assistance that welfare benefits were being paid to a Dorchester woman whose live-in boyfriend was busted in a raid that netted heroin, cocaine, more than $65,000 in cash, an EBT card and WIC and MassHealth documents in their apartment and cars.
“I wanted someone to do something — or at least look into it,” Walsh told the Herald. “Finding that much cash in the presence of documents that would suggest the occupants were receiving public assistance ... I felt a report should be made.”

BACON!!!!!!!!111!!.... It's The Secret To Life!
Bacon. It's the secret of life, or one of many, according to Pearl
Cantrell, and she would know, after just celebrating her 105th birthday.
"I love bacon, I eat it everyday", says Pearl, "I don't feel as old as I am, that's all I can say", she explains.
Still feisty and full of life, Pearl has been through a lot, and has plenty of reasons to complain or even give up. After mothering seven children, outliving three of them, losing a husband, and enduring decades of physical labor, she still has a smile on her face.
"I would go to the field and work till dinner, then come home to fix dinner, then I would go back out to the field and work again until supper", Pearl tells us.

Meanwhile in California.... This is amazing...
Explanation:
To see a vista like this takes patience, hiking, and a camera.
Patience was needed in searching out just the right place and waiting for just the right time.
A short hike was needed to reach this
rugged perch above a secluded cove in
Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in
California,
USA.
And a camera was needed for the long exposure required to bring out the
faint light from stars and nebula in the background
Milky Way galaxy.
Moonlight and a brief artificial flash
illuminated the hidden beach and inlet behind nearby trees in the
above composite image taken about two weeks ago.
Usually obscured
McWay Falls
is visible just below the image center, while the
Pacific Ocean is in view to its right.

Thoughts From The Road....
I travel on Route 95 on the North Shore in mASSachusetts for my daily commute.
Lately they have been installing a new "guard rail" system that will supposedly prevent
cars from crossing the median.
Cable Barrier
The project has been going on since the end of winter and
My first thoughts about this system is portrayed in this video:
I wouldn't want to hit it on a motorcycle let alone a low car.
I wonder how long it will be before the lawsuits of wrongful death and the removal of the system??

Glacially quarried from the bedrock and scattered over the landscape....
It is estimated there are almost 250,000 miles of these hand laid stone walls....
Abandoned stone walls found in the woods all over New England have a long and fascinating story. Long before their recent re-discovery in the mid-20th century, and before they began to tumble and decompose, the vast majority of stone walls were built by early American farm families using stones that heaved up from the subsoil. All of this took place long before the stones were buried by natural organic processes, and even longer before hey were glacially quarried from the bedrock and scattered over the landscape. The ice sheets responsible for distributing the boulders were merely scraping the surface of the hard, heavily fractured rocky crust of northeastern North America, which had been created much earlier, during the episode of mountain building responsible for creating the ancient Appalachians. That ancient rock was made of minerals that were made from elements that were made from universal mater, that was captured by our solar system during formation of planet Earth. Hence, the story of stone walls begins with the beginning of everything, and ends with the present moment.

It's amazing to think that they were all done by hand, like this one I see on my walks:

Gun people don’t trust anti-gun people because.....
Along with bombs and bombers, guns seem to be
all the media wants to talk about these days. Death is sexy to our
miscreant media, especially when people are killed on purpose. And when
that happens, it’s all the newspapers and news stations will print and
broadcast, in turn making these events appear worse than they are in
reality............
