NH Primary Night — Governor Lynch
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008
We took the kids up to Manchester to the John Lynch Re-Election post-primary celebration. Spencer talked to a number of NH State reps asking about what it takes to get started in politics. The “Second First Daughter of NH” did a fine job introducing her father.
With the Merrimack Dam gone, the Souhegan River has changed
Friday, August 29th, 2008
This morning I walked down to the Souhegan from behind the High School’s baseball field and was surprised by just how much lower the river was!
Here is a slide show of some of the photos I took from the section of the river above the former dam to near where it crosses under Route 3.
I recommend folks to take the fairly easy walk down and check it out yourself.
Eric Hutchins of NOAA Restoration Center and some other folks from NHDES Dam Bureau as well as some Boston College students taking some location measurements today. Just where the river bed will end up is still unclear until we have a few seasonal floods. The two little islands are no longer islands (see the Google Map of the area) and sit on a 4″ high sandy area. Looking down in the water you can see a much of sand moving, so there will be lots of change there. The nice thing is most places are shallow, rocky and calm enough to just walk across the river. The water level up beyond the highway through to Wildcat Falls are unchanged.

Well, thanks for Obama’s 4:30am text message, it is time to drag these 2006 photos out…
Here are some of my other photos of Joe Biden from the run up to the 2008 Presidential Campaign in New Hampshire.

Tall Ships in Portsmouth

Yesterday I took a few of the kids to Portsmouth to see the tall ships Friendship and Roseway. These close shots showing lots of texture came out well.
July 4th Parade in Merrimack
Friday, July 4th, 2008
We walked in support of Governor John Lynch’s re-election but also said hello to US Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter and hopefully our future US Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
I don’t know who thought of it first, but Trevor got his cast signed and Logan his t-shirt signed by all three of them (and NH 1st lady Dr. Susan Lynch)
After the parade we had a picnic with some friends down at Wasserman Park which was nearly empty. The weather held out and it was a great day.
Here are the rest of the photos: July 4th parade, Merrimack, NH

My MySQL talk at GNHLUG
Friday, June 20th, 2008Last night I gave my much delayed talk about MySQL at the Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group.
BTW, next time you are in downtown Nashua, stop by Martha’s Exchange and have a Cherry beer with the Jambalaya — spicy but delicious!
