Porg-tober Day 16 - Chewie (Porgs of Lore)
There’s a hairier porg named Chewie.
Of unusually large size, was he.
He defended his flock,
With a very loud squawk.
He would often sit on a tree.
He’s a subspecies of porg, only one in the island 😆

Family friend: 1958 Abarth 750 by Zagato
Of course, you can’t say much differently about a car that, in addition to being rare, has been in the same family for more than 40 years and raced in Lime Rock in 1982, at least from what the seller says.
It is a 750 and has a double bubble on the roof, the seller says the bodywork and floors are in excellent condition: in fact, even looking at the car from the photos you get the impression of…

Rhode Island Lighthouses and a Surprise in Massachusetts
This was originally posted on my other blog Big Toe In The Wind on February 4, 2019, which was just before I started this blog.
I saw some lighthouses this weekend! I was in Rhode Island for a wedding and decided to revisit some lighthouses that I’d seen before to get better pics.
This is Borden Flats Lighthouse in Falls River, Massachusetts. A cute little puppy jumped on my leg here. I just happened to see it while driving over a bridge this time but I’m pretty sure I went the same way last time and totally missed it. I was working from a list of Rhode Island lighthouses and didn’t think about having to drive through MA to see more in RI.
This is Castle Hill Lighthouse in Newport, RI. Last time I went here it had snowed and I was afraid to approach this cliff knowing that it would be slippery.
This is Newport Harbor Lighthouse also known as Goat Harbor Lighthouse in Newport, RI. I didn’t get close to the lighthouse last time but made sure to this time.
They also had a goat there on Goat Island. lol
This is Rose Island Lighthouse in Newport, RI. I wasn’t necessarily planning on seeing this one because it was so far away from King Park where I saw it last time. This view was from Goat Island and I had left the telephoto lens in the car.
One day I’m going to go back and take one of the many lighthouse cruises to see it close up. There are so many that you either have to do the lighthouse cruise or take a ferry to see close.
This is Ida Lewis Yacht Club formerly known as Ida Lewis Lighthouse or Lime Rock Lighthouse in Newport, RI. I have been by here twice and still haven’t seen the actual light. Of course, it’s private property and the pier next to this one at King Park (where you can have the best view from land without being there) has a “No Trespassing” sign and some type supplies on it.
This is Plum Beach Lighthouse in Jamestown, RI. I took this pic completely not looking with my phone. I, of course, had to rotate and crop it so it looked like something. I’m pleased.
These are Dutch Island Lighthouse in Jamestown, Rhode Island, and Sakonnet Lighthouse in Middletown, Rhode Island. I went back to these because I brought my telephoto lens.
This is Pomham Rocks Lighthouse in Riverside, Rhode Island.
I got a great pic of the sun about to set here as well.
I finished up here at around 5 and my flight was at 7:30. So I took the chance to go to Iggy’s which was recommended by an Uber driver.
Added later: Looking at this map of my location history, I can see why I missed that lighthouse in Massachusetts last time. Last time I went to Bristol Ferry Lighthouse which completely bypassed Falls River.

2021 Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock - An Unforgettable Experience
2021 Northeast Grand Prix at Lime Rock – An Unforgettable Experience
Every summer for the past 6 to 7 years, I’ve tuned into endurance racing events on TV or online like the 24 hours of Le Mans, Nurburgring, and Spa, and have always been fascinated by the competitive nature of the World Endurance Championship series, and also the preparation that goes on behind the scenes to make these events possible. Growing up in the US, NASCAR was my only outlet as a young car…
