Hopefully you'll have it back soon! If you go to the National Grid website they have a location by location map which shows the ETA on every outage in the system. Hopefully you’ll have it back soon!

We have 2 suet feeders out and we see downies and hairies all the time, and nuthatches, but we only rarely see a red bellied. Where we'll see 3 or 4 downies fighting over the suet, if we have a red bellied show up, it'll just be a single one. I imagine they must be more territorial? Wow you are lucky to see them daily!

We own Fireplace Mantels and we live in Douglas. My husband is a retired UPS driver and had some granite mailbox posts on the back of his truck for delivery to customers. Thank goodness for his skiing and snowmobile experience and his driving experience to have thought quickly and safely to bring his truck to a nice stop after blowing his front brake lines. Thank you to all that commended his efforts! Yes, this truck driver was my husband Mark. We own Fireplace Mantels and we live in Douglas.

]]> Comment on Sutton Recycling Rate is Abysmally Low by SuttonMA http://www.suttonmass.org/blog/index.php/2010/03/14/sutton-recycling-rate-is-abysmally-low/#comment-8 SuttonMA Fri, 17 Sep 2010 00:41:04 +0000 http://www.suttonmass.org/blog/detail.html?id=220#comment-8 On one hand, yes we are very well organized with recycling options. Every pick-up-at-home service offers recycling as part of their service. The town transfer station has a series of recycling bins right there before you get to the trash area. People who use the transfer station are incented to recycle - that is, they pay per trash bag so it saves them money to recycle everything they can and not pay for more bags. So *their* recycling rate is about 50%. However, all the people who use at-home-pickup have *no* incentive to recycle. They pay a flat rate whether they sort out the recycling items or not. So apparently most of them just toss everything into the trash, and that group of people are dragging down the entire town's rates. On one hand, yes we are very well organized with recycling options.
