Well, this is not on your dial. It is in your playlist. Check out http://radiocaroline.servemp3.com/. Lately, I am listening to Public Safety and Radio Caroline when I am at home and checking out the internet. They also have some interesting pictures of their old Broadcasting Vessel. My friend, K1LWI, sent me the original link to Radio Caroline.

Here is a picture of the torrid weather in Abington, Massachusetts, Plymouth County. This is a scene of the small pond south of Cleveland Pond. Cleveland Pond is a nice recreational facility located in Ames Nowell Park. Ames Nowell is a state park, which is just north of me. It does not offer any serious off road bicycling trails. The town park to the east is lacking in this regard. The two largest streams in town feed the ponds in Ames Nowell and Island Grove. There are many other streams and some other ponds, but most ponds are competely ignored by the residents of Abington. I am the fellow that remembers seeing people ride their horses on the streets. I also remember hitching posts, which rapidly turned into obscurity in the beginnings of my childhood during the seventies and the early eighties. I remember when the house adjacent to this stream was for sale. One of my friends remarked to me about the hydrological potential of the property would enable me to lower costs. I would fret about such issues as trivial. A stream is often in the lowest part and this stream is in the shallow of a valley. I need to be at the top. I should remark that this immediate area was one denude of housing. The houses in the community of Brockton to the west were only recently built. The original farm house with two ham towers is only four hours away from this stream. How I have wondered about the farm house at the top of valley as a potential radio location. Anyways, you can see how we have lots of water this year. During last year we had a good amount of rainfall in April and May. We had too much as the topsoil was saturated. Looks like we will be in good shape this year, again. However, last year it was nice and sunny for the Marathon on Patriot’s Day.
During the past week I have travelled to various points in Abington. I can see this same flock of Turkeys running amock. They have been disturbed by the foul weather. I guess the pun was intended in that last remark. I have seen them at town hall. They voiced their complaints and condemned the rapid build-out of the town and the destruction of their habitat. They took serious umbrage to the destruction of their way of life. They actually attacked vehicles on Groveland Street, recently. I keep telling people to stay away from Groveland Street. The residents just cause such massive havoc. The birds leap out in front of oncoming traffic. After the cars come to a dead stop and sweat beating down the driver’s forehead, the turkeys begin the attack by pecking at the vehicle’s tires and grills. I saw this same pattern executed many times. The Lieutenant in charge of the action was monitoring the entire affair in the marsh; he sat ontop of a recently filled in piece of marsh actually. Behind a thin veneer of trees in the former grove lies a huge pile of dirt. He sat there immaculately, while the squad engaged in its’ mission.
