Spank, Whitey was a south Boston guy. He grew up a mile from the South Station train and bus terminal. We would always go to lunch in southie when I worked jobs in Boston for the railroad. Knew the projects where he grew up and the places he frequented. Southie was insular in those days so always traveled with friends that knew that environment. Not much different than the "Patriarca" mob family in Providence as I actually worked with some of those guys. Now go put up your bird feeder.

I do not have milkweed on my property but the conservation area where I walk does. See them in the summer but not as many in recent years.

I wish I could go to Boston as I would love to see a Red Sox game, the southy area and any museums there. I am a life long fan of the Sox and Celtics but not so much on the Patriots...lol...
ok hoop...I just signed up to get the newsletter. Never realized I knew so little about the milkweed subject!

no launch today but this really is a big deal. Elon Musk can afford to do so much with space truckin' that he doesn't have to depend on the US Government for...He and Richard Branson are gonna write history...
