So this end of July, early August is roughly six months from February 2nd, and the team had a true Groundhog Day experience. First, on returning last PM, we were pleased to find that carrots and watermelon had gotten groundhog number one (this is after six weeks of fruitless trying, resulting in raccoons, possums and squirrels (all released locally) but no groundhog).
Then within the twenty four hours, this PM came groundhog number two, same diet, same humane release site about twenty-five miles away. Deja vu all over again.
So, theoretically, anything beyond an eight mile radius is too far for them to return. We shall see. Moreover, we are hoping that they will reconstitute their posse at the new location. One big happy family, however, not under the deck.
Stay tuned. In this twilight zone, there may be more. We shall see. The truth is out there!

Beach n' Quiet
Beach n' Quiet; this phrase occurred to me last night on a beautiful summer evening at the shore.
Or in the words of Emily and Martie (nee) Robison (The Courtyard Hounds; two thirds of the Dixie Chicks).
"I'm gonna head down to the coast, where nothing ever seems to matter
You know I love it there the most, when every piece of my world gets scattered.
Blue skies, Green water, White birds in the air
Brown skin, bright colors, and the wind blowin' in my hair"
Keep in mind; you heard it here first: "Beach n' Quiet" Copyright Will Somers 2010 - love it!

Surfers – Help wanted – Interns and Volunteers:
As you may know, surfing history is huge! The Atlantic Surfing Museum (ASM) was founded in 2008 with this mission:
“As a non-profit center for exhibition and education, the Atlantic Surfing Museum is dedicated to collecting, conserving, and researching the culture, heritage, art, lifestyle and science of the sport of surfing for the public’s enjoyment. We will work to honor the Atlantic beaches, our playground.”
If this is an interest of yours, too, please comment or write back to us. The museum’s first location is opening in Wall, NJ this summer, just a couple of miles from Belmar beach, home of the Belmar pro invitational. We need interns and volunteers who will commit to help open and maintain the museum.
Skills wanted are:
Surfing: – If you know surfing and can talk about where we are and how we got here, join us.
Photography: - We love great surf photographs, both stills and videos. Also, you get a great chance to get your work in front of a large audience.
Layout and Web Design skills: - Contribute to an ASM Website or help design museum exhibits.
Carpentry, painting and preparation skills: - Everyone can help, but leadership in these areas will be appreciated and valued.
Please click to reply, or visit the museum Website at:

Best, and enjoy the summer waves!
