I Found a female black legged tick on my back, sent it off for testing, came back positive for Lyme, not unusual on the Cape. Rachel found a couple on her before they dug in. Having had a couple of tick-borne disease that took a few years to completely recover from, I take no chances.

I agree. I don’t think it’s the ease of the guns, I believe it all starts at home. Parenting skills or lack of is what I think.

Massachusetts politicians tackling important issues, our tax dollars at work, lol.

Here's what they are considering this week:
A near extinct candy bar could become Massachusetts’s official chocolate bar under a new bill.

Rep. Carmine Lawrence Gentile, D-Sudbury, filed HD.5583 to make the Sky Bar “the official chocolate bar of the Commonwealth” in January.

It would be an about face for the bar that was nearly gone forever in 2018.
