Really loving the new Bluesky format / layout fitting my iPad screen. Sounds like it’s a work in progress. But I’m happy so far. Big improvement

csmonitor.comOnce on the brink of extinction, sand tiger sharks are rebounding in Boston HarborIt’s a warm September day, one of summer’s last gasps, when Ryan Knotek drops anchor in a quiet inlet of Quincy Bay. The New England Aquarium research scientist cuts up frozen Atlantic menhaden, known locally as pogies, secures them to circle hooks attached to several fishing rods, and casts them into the shallow water. Now, it’s time to wait. The catch? Juvenile sand tiger sharks. Once fished to the brink of extinction globally, sand tiger sharks, that iconic aquarium shark with a jaw of protruding, jagged teeth that only a mother could love, have been increasing in the Boston Harbor over the last decade. Here, sand tigers up to 4 years old and measuring between 3 and 5 feet long summer from July to September. It’s a remarkable success story, both for the species and the city. Not too long ago, Boston Harbor was condemned as the “dirtiest harbor in America,” with its shallowest areas widely considered ecologically dead. That was due to the hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage and industrial waste that were dumped into its waters every day for over a century.

Took an abbreviated walk this morning and thought that neighborhood book share box looked especially magical with the sunrise shining on it, and the amazing apple tree behind it.☺️

Think my 4 year old grandson going to be an engineer. He’s putting together mouse trap game. I tried to help but he pointed out that I was screwing it up. He had to fix my mistakes. And he’s looking at the directions.

Charlie’s bestie Freddie is hanging at our house for a couple hours. They’ve been having a great time. Two romps outside, so far. Cooling off right now.

I’m so sad. I’ve enjoyed him from his first press conference when he was drafted. Seemed so wise and grounded for his young age. And watching him grow and get better every year, to winning a championship and being Finals MVP as well as a leader in the community 💚😞

Just started reading an old Betty Smith 1958 book that I bought online. Out fell some loose papers-5th anniversary postcard to join The Science Fiction Book club. And a reservation card for a trip to the moon on the expected future commercial trips to the moon!😬

I am so honored to have been part of this project telling unique stories about Boston sports. To be included with some of these LEGENDS is mind blowing to me. Tales of Titletown is available today, so please check it out.

Update from D.C.: Overnight, the Senate passed a bill that would fund the vital parts of DHS, like TSA, the Coast Guard, FEMA, and cybersecurity professionals without handing ICE and CBP a blank check. Now, the House needs to get this passed. We’ll see if Republicans can get out of their own way.

Susan Collin’s inbox must be full. Can’t send my latest question. Her email form isn’t working. Of course I haven’t received replies for my last 2 emails.

@mrsceltics.bsky.social are you going to the game Friday night? I’m going! Husband & I taking train down. Were gifted amazing seats - in VIP on floor in corner / end zone. Truly a miracle 😅. So we will be there early. Maybe we can catch up. I bought a Celtics hoodie at Marshall’s yesterday😬

His actions have led to higher prices for groceries, housing, utility bills, and more. Of course the president will do anything to avoid talking about his economic failures.

Things the Boston Celtics never get proper credit for: Maintaining a winning environment and a consistent play style regardless of the team’s overall talent level Evaluating and developing two way players both through the draft and free agency between the staffs in Maine & Boston
