Yeah, baby!

I got the job! I'll be starting work at a mid-sized company in Cambridge in two weeks. And they offered me a higher salary than I asked for, so:
YAYYYYYUH!

Here's a few pics of yesterday's sunset as seen from the Winthrop boat ramp parking lot. As you can see, it's close to Logan Airport. Planes were zooming in every couple of minutes.


The boy loves his planes. :)










These last two were taken from the harborwalk on Deer Island. Click through the panoramic montage for a bigger version.

Why is Deer Island not an island? Once it was, but it has been connected to the mainland since the famous 1938 hurricane. The island has been used by Native Americans, quarantined immigrants, farmers, orphans, paupers, military personnel, and tens of thousands of prisoners at the now-demolished county house of corrections. The new waste water treatment plant continues long-standing use of the island for sewage disposal facilities, which began in the late 1800s.

I'll be returning there on a warmer day to walk the whole trail and climb the hills, which should allow for even better views.
