Cranston Bones Update

Back in 2006 I had an exciting lunch break when I discovered bones washed out from under route 37. Since then the story occasionally pops back up in the news. Below are two more recent articles about them.

First article is about a woman looking for a famous relative.

Hundreds of bodies discovered under RI highway in search for gravesite

This second link explains how they moved some of the graves that were washed out in 2009.

Coyote footprints

It snowed recently and when I went out to check on the chickens I could see many coyote footprints around the perimeter of the chicken run. Among them was a set of huge footprints.

For comparison that’s my footprint on the right

Here’s the other photo I took showing a clear paw print . This one wasn’t as big.

Last day of Hasbro: The Sequel

I started as a temp at Hasbro back in 2006. When they moved my department to a Dedham office in 2010 I left, only to return to Hasbro in 2011 once they moved my department back. At that time I thought I’d never leave Hasbro again. But things change. Today was my last day at Hasbro for the second time. I’m off to start a new adventure. Leaving Hasbro again was twice as hard as it was the first time I said goodbye. To all my Hasbro friends, I look forward to meeting up for a drink once Covid is over.
