Coming next week in the Morning News…. a story about Kershaw Street resident Samuel Abraham. “Abe” as his friends know him, has spent the last six months cleaning up the neighborhood surrounding his home. From removing trash, to clearing Kudzu vines and shrubs with not much more than a shovel and a small hatchet, the difference has been amazing to his neighbors.

On Saturday I got to hang out with the Sidewalk Astronomer Tony Martinez from Science South. He was at the library with a A1- Alpha telescope gathering folks for a chance to view the sun. It was tough but I managed to get this photo of the sun, glowing red through the telescope.

On my way to the office this morning the Florence Fire Department was doing their twice annual fire hydrant checks in front of my house and around the neighborhood where I live. I stopped and hung out with them for a few minutes, learned something new, and made this photo of Captain Mike Ward tightening the top of the hydrant after testing.

I just returned from my first real vacation in more than three years. Sure I’ve had time off in those years but I hadn’t had a true lay on the beach, drinks beer, and think of nothing vacation, so I flew home to Rhode Island to spent time with family and old friends. Our favorite waterfront bar is called the Ocean Mist in Matunuck, RI. Sort of off the path they offer up the best fish tacos, tasty margaritas, and ice cold Narragansett beer, not to mention a view of Block Island, great people and sand for your toes why you wait for a table and on a Sunday in the summer you will wait hours). Really, its an eclectic little place if you are ever in RI find it and enjoy.
