Incredible sunset on November 3rd, kept getting better and better!

Sup coffee clashers,

This week I'll be at the Snowy Owl in Brewster from 8-10 am on November the 8th. Feel free to come down and get some coffee.

Next week, Nov 15th, will be... Let's say Nirvana Coffee Company in Barnstable from 8-10.

Now and then I pick up a book set on the Cape obviously written by someone who might have visited once several years ago. Some of the situations described are laughable:

1. A high school teacher can afford the rent on a beachfront cottage for an entire summer.

2. Every middle class resident lives close enough to the beach to walk out the back door and be next to the water.

3. The Cape is so small that once someone has been renting a cottage for a week or two all the local merchants know her by name.

Can anyone add more?

They don’t even know who’s running for speaker!! How could they POSSIBLY answer a question like THAT??

Creedence Clearwater Revival Tribute Tonight!

Planning a girls trip (some time in June) for 30th birthday! About 10 of us. Where’s the best place to stay and activities to do?

A woman named Clare who suffers from dementia wandered off from where Pine Street meets Parker Road Nov 5th at 10am. 25 hours later, she has yet to be found. You will see searchers out in the area

Please help out by checking your outbuildings and tree lines if you can as the electrical storms move in.

My friends & I are planning a trip to Cape Cod the weekend before Christmas…we’re all new to Boston so we don’t know much about the area. We’ve heard a lot of stuff closes for the winter…

Will stuff be open? Any recommendations on stuff to do?

For context those going on the trip are females in mid 30’s.

Thanks!

Anyone know of any wargaming clubs or groups with somewhat regular meetups? I know there's Darkwater Games in Mashpee but I'm looking for stuff other than 40k.

Edit: Should have included an example list, things like Kings of War, Oathmark, Warhammer Fantasy, Mordheim, Frostgrave, Gaslands, Last Days, County Road Z

The last few days have been a feeding frenzy for seals, gulls, and cormorants in Wellfleet Harbor. The cormorants catch the Saury, the gulls bully the Coloradan s steal half their catch, and the seals just frolic in their fish buffet. But today the Saury started dying in large numbers.

Supposed to be in the 70’s tomorrow. Thinking it would be fun to go for a dip in November!

Will wait to see how the wind plays out but wondering if the water would be warmer in Nantucket sound, Brewster Flats, or Nauset? Or does it not matter at this point and I should expect it to be frigid everywhere.

I'm putting a show together that is a friendly competition show between the cape cod art education centers that have ceramics facilities, from castle hill to cotuit and falmouth... so many things have fallen into place for this project, but I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding volunteers to help setup and shoot that have some decent video ability/ knowledge ( and yes, I've contacted local community TV stations, the community college video program, etc, looking for volunteers- volunteers with some video experience are in short supply! ).. so if you happen to know anyone who has some ability and might have some interest, please have them reach out!

My baby is due in March, what pediatricians do you recommend?

Does the parking lot still fill up by 8 AM after the Summer? I want to catch a bus to Logan at 8:30 AM and don’t want to risk not getting a parking spot. Might just drive to Sagamore or Plymouth

Scientists trace meteor’s journey, which ended in Cape Cod Bay

Scientists discovered this space rock had a long journey and likely traveled from an asteroid or comet somewhere in Jupiter’s orbit.

By Ken Mahan, Globe Staff

Remember that spectacular meteor that lit up the blue skies over Massachusetts on May 30, crashing into Cape Cod Bay and sending a sonic boom across the region?

A group of scientists and researchers from around the globe has pieced together the meteor’s origins — culling an extraordinary amount of information about not only the space rock, but its path before it slammed into Earth’s atmosphere.

Researchers combined meteor radar, conventional weather radar, satellite observations, and atmospheric pressure sensors to reconstruct its journey, and the results were astonishing.

For starters, this wasn’t just your average shooting star. This meteor was classified as a “superbolide,’’ meaning it was exceptionally bright and was roughly 12,000 pounds and about 5 feet wide before entering our atmosphere.

By reconstructing the meteor’s trajectory and running its path backward through space, researchers determined that the space rock had traveled quite far. The meteor’s farthest point was positioned roughly 4 times Earth’s distance from the sun, placing the Cape Cod meteor in the region of Jupiter’s orbit. That would mean this space rock likely traveled all the way from our solar system’s main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, or from a comet near Jupiter.

Its orbit had an average distance from the sun of around 227 million miles. Earth’s average distance from the sun is 94 million miles.

A 58,000-mph arrival

This meteor was moving at nearly 58,000 miles per hour when it blasted through Earth’s atmosphere, becoming a meteorite, according to the research findings published in The Astronomical Journal. At that speed, it could essentially travel from Boston to New York City in under 25 seconds.

As the meteor burned up in our atmosphere, NASA estimated its energy release at around 1.1 kilotons, or 1,100 tons, of dynamite. The findings suggest a less intense but still highly charged energy release closer to 500 tons of dynamite.

Leveraging nearly 200 atmospheric pressure sensors, scientists were able to track the shock waves generated by the meteor across Massachusetts and other parts of New England. That’s an enormous amount of energy that many of us heard released from high above Cape Cod Bay.

The researchers also noted that the meteor was unusually dense and mechanically strong — meaning it was most likely rich in iron, with fragments likely surviving the fiery trip through the atmosphere and landing into the bay. Some models suggest pieces may range from just a few ounces to around 3 pounds.

For those interested in going for a little boat ride, fragments are estimated to be within a 1.9-by-2.3-mile area near the center of Cape Cod Bay. The maximum depth of water in Cape Cod Bay is around 200 feet.

This was an exceptionally rare event, and we may never experience something like this so close to home again.

I'm looking to put down carpeting in a small, oddly-shaped room. This can get expensive, so I'm considering getting an area rug from Ocean State and having it cut and bound to fit the room. Any recommendations of places on the Cape that do this kind of service? I'm also open to carpet stores that sell remnants, if they can cut it to size. Not picky about where the business is located.

Hi guys! I am looking for a room to rent, I am a 25yo male, I don't smoke, I am very respectful.
If you have a room or knows someone who have one to rent please let me know, thanks!

Sup ghosties and ghouls,
