MANY ANIMALS USE ALLIGATOR NESTS

The ecological importance of American alligators as top predators has long been established. A paper recently published in the online scientific journal Animals (MDPI) presents new information about these imposing animals.

The ecological importance of American alligators as top predators has long been established. A paper recently published in the online scientific journal Animals (MDPI) presents new information about these imposing animals. Thomas Rainwater, a research scientist at South Carolina’s Tom Yawkey Wildlife Center and Clemson University, headed the research, assisted by several colleagues. Alligators are a keystone species in aquatic habitats across the Southeast, meaning they have a major effect on the environment through their impact on other organisms. Indisputably top predators, they primarily target fish, turtles, snakes, birds and mammals as their prey. These enormous reptiles get the most press coverage in those rare situations when they eat a dog or, more rarely still, injure a person. The backstory often reveals incautious behavior by said dog or person around an alligator’s home turf...

Someone asked me how my nephew liked the Fall Out Boy concert! And did he want a t-shirt.

He luckily did not want a t-shirt. I say "luckily" only because wow, the t-shirts are a lot of money! I would have bought him one, probably, if he'd asked, but he didn't, and I didn't think he was into the band enough that he would wear it with pride around his friends (almost-teenagers, whatevs lol).

He did, however, scoop up a bunch of the confetti that floated our way at the end of the concert to keep for a souvenir, which was cute! I think he enjoyed it! He certainly paid attention to everything they said and asked me lots of questions about the band on the drive home (Do I think the guy in the hat makes the most money? No, they split it equally. How do I think he remembers all the words? He doesn't all the time. How did I remember all the words? I have worked very hard on basically ONLY listening to Fall Out Boy for five years now. If their first arena show was in Providence, do I think they went to some of the same restaurants we go to in Rhode Island? omg I never thought about that...). He said he had fun and he had a lot to say about it to his parents. And he did recognize some of the songs, I think probably from sporting events he goes to with his friends. He was also really into all the opening bands and spent a lot of time comparing and contrasting them and asking me how I think they decided the order and how did they know which bands were going to be there, etc.

He also, of course, loved being at Fenway and asked me lots of questions about the field and the scoreboard and the Green Monster and stuff. He's been to Fenway before but not in circumstances where we really had time to talk about the park, so we talked a lot about how old it was and what the names and numbers on the banners meant, etc.

He was also super-patient with me when I kept studying different merch booths to make sure I wasn't missing anything I wanted. When I suddenly found the magic 8 ball shirt at some random merch stand tucked next to a sausage cart on Lansdowne Street, I was like, "We have to wait in this line now so I can get that shirt," and he was so good-natured and really interested in people-watching and asking how many sausage sandwiches I thought the guy was going to sell, etc.

ALSO, best thing. When you get out of Fenway from an event, there's usually someone out there busking on bucket-drums, so I'm guiding him through the crowd on Yawkey Way and it's chaos and he turns to me and goes, "Is that what Fall Out Boy used to do?" and I'm like, "What?" because there are a million people around us and curbs and barricades and cars, etc., and I'm distracted, and he's like, "That drumming thing," and I'm like, "What drumming thing?" and then register the busker in the background and I'm like, ???? I was like, "You mean that guy playing the drums? No, they never did that." Because in my head I was like, ...how weird and random he would think Fall Out Boy was out here busking after concerts once upon a time????? And then he goes, "Well, they said that they used to play across the street," which they did, and they meant by that the House of Blues, which is literally located across the street from Fenway, and I knew that was what they meant, but of course my nephew has no reason to know that there's another smaller venue right there and so he concluded they just played out on the street busking for money and I just love this idea so much, imagine Fall Out Boy just standing on a street corner playing, Patrick Stump would CLEAN UP as a busker.

Honestly, he's a funny kid, though, so I think he was also extremely tickled by the city Target we went into that had TWO FLOORS lol.

Pork Loin Marinade

Sitting at the island on this dreary rainy day thinking of all that I could do in the house and none of it is motivating me too much. Though writing my blog I forgot to pick up some deli ham when I went to the store yesterday to beat the rain. I wanted to use the leftover pork loin in a Cuban Sandwich. I vaguely recall my first Cuban it might have been at Fenway Park on what was then Yawkey Way.…

Your letters: Does Yawkey Park have a future?

"The future may necessitate the creation of a Friends of Yawkey Park who will rehabilitate, nurture and protect the park." - R. Dennis O'Flyng of Wausau

Dear editor, What in Wausau these past weeks reads like a mystery novel, minus it’s usual heroes and villains? Legislation has recently passed so that a pivotal green space, Yawkey Park will change dramatically. How did this happen? The Woodson YMCA has initiated plans for The Landing expansion, where there’s to be a Third Street skywalk coming through to the park’s adjacent 1920’s pergola.…

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #740

george nick -- "yawkey way, 26 august 2017" (2017)

"i'm always reaching out for left-field ideas and approaches, trying to understand what i can do and what i can't do" ... george nick

"looking at nick’s paintings, it’s evident that he’s not after anything high-concept. he drives around in his mobile studio, a converted truck, and paints on site" ... cate mcquaid

"those of us lucky enough to know george in the flesh must sometimes shield our eyes against his core of blazing dedication, and smile at the elaborate apparatus of his sainthood – the famous picture-window truck, almost a magritte fantasy in its placement of a miniature studio on wheels, once painted bright orange and now a more camouflaging green, ornamented with a martyr’s wreath of parking tickets. cezanne and monet, trudging out into the heat and rain with their three-legged easels, have nothing on this daily pilgrim. rising at dawn to arrive miles distant as a certain slant of morning light befalls a chosen railroad bridge or storefront, he is nature’s acolyte; no mere coincidence has brought him to dwell in emerson and thoreau’s town of concord. dedicating himself to representation ·in the heyday of abstract expressionism, he had fairfield porter’s stubbornness without porter’s family fortune. both the serenity and harshness of the independent spirit speak in his canvases, in a mood of morning light, with most of the day still to come. the 'here it is' of his paintings does not need to advertise love; love exists here not as a sentiment but as a basic condition of being" ... john updike

"well my scouting report is that nick can't play left field ... nor can he paint the corners like pedro" ... al janik
