Speaking of tuna...

Discovery also has another look-alike called Lobster Wars. That one is
almost as interesting as Deadliest Catch since they're on smaller boats
(with open transoms! OMG!) in the unpredictable north Atlantic and have
an actual (albeit small and nearly bloodless) war going on between the
different lobster boats. Sabotaged traps and cut buoy lines causing tens
or hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses makes for interesting TV.
Plus, they also have cool accents.

Yeah, my dad slips back into his accent once in a while. He grew up on
West Gloucester Island, most of our family is there or in Lynn/Revere
beach area. They say my name real funny, I can't even mimic it. I
remember him singing the old sailor songs, can't do that skeetin'
scattin' whateverin' either, but is sure was cool to hear it.

I'm sure it will make you ill to learn that many of my family members
lived in the Lynn-Revere-Salem area,
and that on D-Day, though I was only an infant, I was at Revere Beach
with my parents.

My paternal grandfather was a shopkeeper at a store at Revere Beach and
lived a few blocks away. This was in the days of the Revere Beach
amusement park. An aunt of my mother's lived not far from Revere Beach
and had a small farm where they raised veggies and acres of
blackberries. Actually, I had relatives living all over the Boston area.
