Chicken Wings Hot Sauce Blue Cheese Celery Chips Dips Salsa Beer Extra Batteries for the remote From Cape Cod to the Chesapeake Bay, charter boat fishing captains are angry about a mandate to reduce the number of striped bass that can be caught by recreational fishermen. Saltwater fishing guides in Maine, however, are swimming against the tide. They think it’s about time for tougher regulations – and some say it may be too late to help the struggling species rebound. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Friday barred local and state police from using federal law to seize cash, cars and other property without proving that a crime occurred. So called "civil forfeitures" have become a giant business with some police agencies, who actually write the forfeit targets into the annual budgets, and have become dependent on this money. Because its Sunday, there still has to be a Moose dropping in the mix....Have a laugh I'm off to the Big Shows being held at the Eastern States Exposition Grounds this weekend. The Auto Parts Swap and Sell is taking place along with the Springfield Motorcycle Show. A great way to keep warm in this the cold weather. Stay Warm My Friends! Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson etched their names into climbing lore on Wednesday by successfully completing a 19-day free-climb of the Dawn Wall on El Capitan. The Pot has now gotten warm. The Phantom Urinator has been caught on camera. And I thought that I had put a few extra pounds on during the Holidays. A video of car dealership employees in Westport Ma getting into a heated argument with a local pizza delivery man over $7 has led to Internet anger and a personal apology. The video, posted on Liveleak, begins with a delivery man returning $7 in cash to the dealership that he had thought was a tip. By the end of the video, one dealership worker threatens to “put my foot in your ass” and another says he will call the delivery man’s manager and get him fired. A little something smooth for a SaturdayFor some of you, time to hit the road on a long Holiday weekendIt's all down hill from hereFrom Yesterday, those people who are making a difference Yesterday morning, having nothing else to occupy their precious time, 29 activists stopped the morning’s commute for people traveling into Boston. Route 93 from both the North and the South were blocked at two different locations. The inconvenience caused a ten mile backup for traffic coming up from the south and affected tens of thousands of drivers. The traffic backup coming down from the North was estimated at under five miles.
The protesters stopped traffic on I-93 northbound by chaining themselves to 1,200-pound barrels filled with concrete. All travel lanes and the HOV lanes were closed after 7:00, and the whole protest wasn’t completely cleared until around 10:00 A.M. The protest prevented an untold number of people from getting to work on the busiest highway traveling into Boston, it also interfered with emergency vehicles and at least one ambulance transporting a patient with serious injuries en route to Boston City Hospital. It had to be diverted to a Brockton hospital. The Boston contingent from the organization "Black Lives Matter" was responsible for the shutdown. In a press release issued by the group, they stated it was “to confront white complacency in the systemic oppression of black people in Boston.” Based on multiple news organizations that have reported live while the protest was unfolding, it seems that these self righteous lost souls, who chained their arms together inside the barrel, have caused more harm than good to their cause as far as symphony goes. A reporter on the scene stated that 95 percent of the traffic that was able to get by when the police removed the protesters from the interstate and onto the shoulder were shouting obscenities and giving them the finger. They seemed to be very outspoken with their displeasure because of the massive gridlock. In 1984, cocaine trafficking in Maine was considered an urban problem. But in the sticks of the midcoast, a loose cartel of freewheeling, twenty-something drug dealers was building an empire — until one of the state’s most elaborate and far-reaching undercover operations brought it all crashing down.
