One of their really underrated songs (to the outside world). Should have been a smash hit!

Except green crabs are edible. Which is why it is all very confusing. It is like the Division says if not native then not edible and "lalalalalalalala" with fingers stuck in their ears.

Even the MA general law about taking green crabs say the only thing you do with them is either destroy them or use them as bait. No other uses are mentioned, let alone consumption.

Understood, but if you look at the MA Division of Marine Fisheries pages they refer to them as "inedible invasive species" on one document I looked at and on another talk about "other edible crabs" then after it invasive crabs, kind of implying again that they do not consider them a food animal so not regulated under the same permitting as you get for lobsters and blue crabs.

Yeah, government agencies are not the best on clarity. They should simply define it as animals native to the area are regulated and invasive species are not and leave off the edible vs. non-edible verbiage since they are using those incorrectly.

They are, but I think in this context MA is saying only native crabs as food needs to be controlled/restricted. Where as invasive means non-edible in that they are not regulated by the Division of Marine Fisheries as a food source that needs to be protected or controlled

Assuming the same guy you are talking about, he died 30 Apr 2007 and is buried in South Hadley's Mater Dolorosa Cemetery...

His Find A Grave memorial... https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/61865391/stephen-e-kachur

Four other Kachurs buried there (note that FaG lists only what people have entered for memorials, not necessary all of them that could be buried there).

Edited to add: also note that since memorials are created by anyone, since there is no photo of a gravestone on that memorial there is also the possibility it could be in the wrong cemetery or someone created it just assuming he must be there without having checked.)

What is that mythical lands you show west of Framingham?

What if your Indian friend has garbage taste in Indian food? Sort of the equivalent to your American friend telling you that the 99 is the best American restaurant.

The misspell owns Massachusetts!

That is too bad. These poisons are long know to harm other wildlife as "collateral damage" and simply shouldn't be allowed.

My last time around I did not choose the real ID simply because I have a passport, was eligible to renew my license online, and it only took 8 minutes online to renew & pay for my driver's license. Next time I am required to take a new photo then I will bring in all the extra paperwork to make it a Real ID.

True, but they also don't have to get the sale because of those high fees if the buyer is not willing to pay them. EVERYTHING is negotiable.

Skip's in Chelmsford. Closed in 2008 after about 60 years.

We haven't erected any new higher MA mountains in the last 20 years. Sorry.

Haha I remember when you told that story 3 times. ;)

A coworker yesterday morning was telling me about the satisfaction of coming into work that morning, seeing an SUV come up behind him at the stop sign, stop, and all the snow slid forward onto the windshield like the picture in this post shows, and a cop sitting nearby immediately turning the blues on and pulling them over.

>Parking one's bike in sleepy Northampton, taking a nap, then waking up in Manhattan without having to find parking is a dream.

Or reading a book or playing a computer game or writing your own book or learning how to edit photo with Gimp or enjoying the scenery outside or ... ANYTHING other than clutching a steering wheel, staring straight ahead, and hoping you get there without an accident. 4+ hours of doing whatever you want always beats less than 4 hours driving.

"Most workers in Massachusetts have the right to earn and use up to 40 hours of job-protected sick time per year to take care of themselves and certain family members."

(bold emphasis mine)

"Employers may cap the amount of earned sick time hours accrued at 40 hours, regardless of the additional hours worked by an employee. Once an employee possesses a bank of 40 hours of unused earned sick time, the employer may opt to delay further accrual until the employee draws down the bank of earned sick time
to below 40 hours."

Being goaded into a fight and self defense are very different. In the first case, not being able to control your emotions doesn't give you a legal right to assault someone.

There is a Tree House Brewery location there now so there is that.

Phone the Kennedy Compound and see who answers.

How do you know they didn't?

Was it Ben Affleck?

"Actual Spring" should have the description next to it of "two weeks only"

> It is "popular " right now

Made me laugh. It's the in thing right now! ;)
