Wafting through a mild breeze,67 degrees @ 11:56 PM Gorton's batter. I listen as I hear the distant rumble of the train's diesel engine...then fades away. Next the droan of a far away 18 wheeler reefer only to be washed out by the sirens of a rescue squad and or fire engine and or police cruiser. Gone are the days of the de-hy,no more roggy pogies.Boy... I miss that. It doesn't seem the same with out that strong pungent aroma surrounding our everyday lives. The Gortons batter just doesn't cut it. What's that I smell now......OH NO ! I just discovered I stepped onto my dog's buisness! This stinks!!! I'm Dun ! Last Edited By: Dun Fudgin 04/24/08 01:49 AM.

I wish that they would bring the horn back. It also went off when fire alarm boxes were pulled and when there was no school.

I can hear boats in the harbor and the trains coming and going. There are few sounds I love more than leaves rustling in a night breeze and a train in the distance.

When I look outside, I see the beginnings of all those glorious shades of green that the new buds bring, and I'm excited about (believe it or not) going to the cemetery and giving the grass its first cut of the season. Winter has been washed from our souls ...

Another summer sound of the past....."order 44 is ready".....the Bobs Clam Shack P.A.!
