LC so how was the storm you OK ???
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up worn out screaming what a ride.. |

i'd be afraid to collect mushrooms. my little Italian grandma knew the right ones, but i don't.  Guitta Blau collects mushrooms along the trails at the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham yesterday. In fall, mushroom gatherers head to the Cape Cod National Seashore for prime picking. EASTHAM — Guitta Blau might easily have a role in a fairy tale worthy of the Brothers Grimm. In the woods of the Cape Cod National Seashore this week, she carried a woven basket in the crook of her arm, urging her companions to walk faster on the path, as the forest closed in behind them. She searched for something magical, something mysterious — those squishy, satiny and sometimes poisonous fungi that grow out of the forest floor. She wandered among the trees. Twigs snapped underfoot. Want to know more about mushrooms? Go to the Boston Mycological Club Web site: http://www.bostonmycologicalclub.org. The club has a mushroom walk scheduled for 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at Bay End Farm, 200 Bournedale Road, Bourne, at the parking area in front of the farm stand. Check the club's Web site for updates and more information. "Isn't that nice," Blau said of an amanita, a type of mushroom a companion spotted. She pulled out an oyster knife to dig up a specimen. She rubbed away the dirt and tenderly touched the cap and stalk. "Here's another something or other," she said, stepping over a second mushroom. It's mushroom-picking season in the Seashore. Mushrooms are the above-ground "fruit" of a larger fungal system that is typically underground or within decaying wood. They are neither plant nor animal. Instead, they are their own kingdom, fungi. They thrive in the pitch pine and beech forests and near a white cedar swamp in the Seashore, according to a local guide called "Mushrooms of Cape Cod and the National Seashore." In autumn, mushroom gatherers arrive by the dozens in the Seashore, parking their cars here and there and everywhere and walking up into the woods. Some come from the Boston area on the weekends. Luda Shtern, for instance, a Russian expatriate from Brookline stood by the side of Province Lands Road in Provincetown recently, holding a basket full of mushrooms. She'd walked too far in the woods, she said, and needed a ride back to her car. Shtern gathers mushrooms for relaxation and because they're a source of protein. She fries them with onions and potatoes, and eats them with sour cream. "It's our national occupation in the fall," Shtern said of her Russian heritage. "Instead of killing animals, we just look for mushrooms. It's number one." Others who live locally, like Blau, avoid the weekend rush by foraging mid-week. Blau usually hunts for mushrooms near the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham or near her house in South Wellfleet. During the walk at the visitor center, the mushrooms appeared as white flat-tops on fat stalks, smelling of raw potatoes and glimmering in the sunlight. One was a yellow pin cushion. Another was as slender as a daisy — with a tiny brown dome for a head. Another cluster looked like miniature-sized huts, rounded and thatch-roofed. Another big mushroom — on a tree root — was like a deep purple rose, split open, rotting and velvety. Think of mushroom collecting as you would wildflowers or birds, Blau said Thursday in the woods behind the visitor center. Avid mushroom collectors have tons of books on the subject. They study them and preserve the best specimens. They revel in finding an oddity. They get better and better at locating and identifying the fungi in the forest. "This is just another aspect of natural life," Blau said. "And sometimes you find something that's good to eat." She's never eaten a poisonous one, or gotten a high from eating one. "I'm very careful," Blau said. "You have to know the mushroom." Within the Seashore, anyone can pick mushrooms by hand, up to 5 gallons per day, as long as it's for personal rather than commercial use, said Seashore acting chief ranger Robert Grant. Generally, mushroom-picking season is July through November, Blau said.

too weird. CNN) -- Was it a theft? A prank? A roundabout effort to bring some holiday cheer to the police? Authorities in Harwich, Massachusetts, are probing the mysterious appearance of a piano, in good working condition, in the middle of the woods.  A police officer examines an oddly placed piano in the woods of Harwich, Massachusetts.  Discovered by a woman who was walking a trail, the Baldwin Acrosonic piano, model number 987, is intact -- and, apparently, in key. Sgt. Adam Hutton of the Harwich Police Department said information has been broadcast to all the other police departments in the Cape Cod area in hopes of drumming up a clue, however minor it may be. But so far, the investigation is flat. Also of note: Near the mystery piano -- serial number 733746 -- was a bench, positioned as though someone was about to play. The piano was at the end of a dirt road, near a walking path to a footbridge in the middle of conservation land near the Cape. It took a handful of police to move the piano into a vehicle to transport it to storage, so it would appear that putting it into the woods took more than one person. Asked whether Harwich police will be holding a holiday party in the storage bay -- tickling the ivories, pouring eggnog -- while they await word of the piano's origin and fate, Hutton said with a laugh. No such plans. Harwich police have had some fun, though. Among the photos they sent to the news media is one of Officer Derek Dutra examining the piano in the woods. The police entitled the photo "Liberace."

Thats kinda cool actually, the dry air and temp would make it sound different. Imagine a recital for the wildlife. I have an old pump organ that uses a bellows along the left side by the foot pedals, you have to constantly pump it with your left foot to create sound. The sound changes and sounds like a whisper as the air slowly stops traveling across the reeds. A bit lonesome and spooky late at night. Outside with the wind rushing across and under it would create a hum as the notes were played giving the sound some great sustain naturaly. It is light and now as I think about it, I may want to try it someday. Great story! And it's not mine you!
