Food, Friends, Photo-A-Day

Remembering The Hot Dog Man …

I learned that my friend Rob Merlino passed away on August 7th. I had been following Rob ever since he moved to Florida. The move was good for him and he was loving life. It was a big shock to me to find out that he had passed.

This morning I found some old videos that we had made together and posted them up to my Facebook account. I chatted with his wife, too. I then got the idea that to honor his memory I would head to Snappy Dogs to chat with the ladies there. Rob introduced me the ladies many years ago and we’ve been friends ever since.

So, I drove to Hopkinton and got one of their Great Dane hot dogs. We talked about Rob and reminisced a bit. It was nice to do and a nice way to remember him.

Checking The Gas Line …

Eversource has been working on my streets for about a month now. Today they were working right in front of the house. They were also checking meters. Ours was covered by a plant and so they cut it back. That’s fine, I haven’t been good about keeping it uncovered. They did a total hack job on it. Cut most of it down except for two branches. They’ll be back later to put in new Smart Meters. A bunch of new technology is on the way. Of course, what I would really like to happen is for them to completely repave our road and redo the sidewalks. Maybe once everything is done.
