  1. Actually 2 ships left from England, the Mayflower and the Speedwell. The Speedwell had to be repaired for leaks on the way from The Netherlands. On the way to America the Speedwell had to pull into port once again to repair the ship for leaks. Concern mounted that the Speedwell wasn't going to be fit for the journey so a decision was made to leave the Speedwell behind and to have the Mayflower be the only ship to make the trip. And that meant some people decided to return to the Netherlands rather than set sail on an over crowded Mayflower. Considering how long the passengers had lived on the ship for prior to the departure from England and then the subsequent trip, and then exploring the area off of the Cape and NY the last thing anyone wanted to do was get back on the Mayflower. And a return to England would have also meant a return trip to The Netherlands for many of the passengers.
  2. Well if the lawn chairs are out on the wings of the plane ………I'm surprised the pilot hasn't noticed the lawn chairs...…..
  3. A couple of friends tried it and they weren't impressed with the product. Regular sod is better.
  4. Seems as though the foliage in the Merrimack Valley area is 7-10 days ahead of schedule. One tree in my yard is about 3 weeks ahead of schedule. That tree usually doesn't begin to even turn color until early Nov.
  5. There must be something in the water in Billerica...…….
  6. Please forgive the rest of us for not being as brilliant and entertaining as you are...…..
  7. On some models the snow threat for MN seems to be diminishing from yesterday's runs.
  8. I think it is something to watch as we head deeper into the fall.
  9. Not surprised, but it's probably not all that different than some years at this point.
  10. It's because he has a need to be right about everything 100% of the time. Smartest man in the room syndrome. For all we know Alabama trounced some team that he is a fan of.
  11. Perhaps planting a tree(s) in that area to provide shade.
  12. And it is likely that it doesn't stop the infestation because many if not all insects have become resistant to pesticides. And chinch bugs fall into that category. The overuse of pesticides and other lawn care products have made it increasingly difficult to control insects. When I was a kid, and playing baseball and football ,the fields were all in pretty good shape. No one used lawn care products. The lawn care industry has made billions by convincing home owners that they need the perfect lawn. Do you honestly think the lawn care companies are producing top of the line products?? The answer is no they are not. They are producing products that barely work for the most part because they want home owners to continue to purchase their products in the hope that the lawn will look better. It's all one giant con game.
  13. What is more important to you, your lawn or your health? I would never use products like sevin. There is no upside at all. Why not dig out the area and put fresh top soil down and then reseed?
  14. For the last week or so he's been protesting outside of the coalition's office......
  15. Now that James wants Dorian to go east it is very likely to come west
  16. The future radar even depicts Dorian in Steeler colors......
  17. Don't worry, Gov Baker will have the electric company trucks parked outside of your home by noon tomorrow at the latest. Perhaps the Buffalo Bills will send the Electric Company to your home!
