MARCH 19th 2024 THE VERNAL SPRING EQUINOX 11:06 PM
My buddy Rich Appel sent me a text at around 10:45 PM on Tuesday March 19th, 2024 to alert me to the Moon and the giant circle around it. I went out and snapped a quick cellphone pic of it. I know these circles around the moon typically mean rain is coming. But this particular circle seemed bigger than the others. My pic (below) is not as good as Rich's pic (above) . And I'm not sure what camera Rich was using, but his quality is much better than my cell phone pic.
![](RPOTW 3-24-24/BLOG Night Sky.jpg)
The thing about our iPhones these days is we are all literally walking around with pretty decent cameras in our pockets. Case in point, when I used to run my two dogs in the woods I would always bring my NIKON water camera with me. You know, just in case I needed to shoot something out there. Nowadays I simply bring my phone. And the reason should be obvious. They are compact, light, and they take amazing photos. Are they as good as my REAL cameras? No. But they ain't bad.
![](RPOTW 3-24-24/BLOG Sky.jpg)
Especially if you're just shooting the little things. Like this sky shot.
Or this pic I shot yesterday morning stepping out my front door.
![](RPOTW 3-24-24/BLOG Snow.jpg)
My point is. I have to keep reminding myself that I always have a camera on me. It might not be the ultimate still camera or video camera (I do shoot a lot of video of my dogs in the woods), but they are pretty damn good and they are reliable.
![](RPOTW 3-24-24/BLOG Dogs.jpg)
My boys. Patch is 13 (turning 14 in a few months) and Zorro is 4.
I've shot more video and stills of these two dogs on my cellphone than all of my other dogs
combined. It's pretty convenient. I shoot them and post them to my family and friends within seconds of taking them. I could never do that with my old cameras.
Look at me accepting change
in my life. I'm not an old dinosaur after all.

Ed O'Connell was one of the most loved surf photographers in New England. A US ARMY Vietnam Veteran who saved the lives of so many ARMY Grunts in Nam in 68-69 as a Medic on board those Dust Off Hueys.
He was a close and dear friend of mine.
When he passed on July 1st, 2014 I swore I'd keep his memory and legacy alive by giving him this weekly corner. He loved surfing and he loved taking photos of all the surfers. Not just those who could really stand out. He shot every one. As long as I shall live and breathe the salt air, there will be a corner dedicated to Ed.
ED'S CORNER March 24th, 2024
![](RPOTW 3-24-24/ED Corner 3-17-24 BLOG.jpg)
This is a pic of me at the Wall from March 12th, 2011. This was a cold day. And I was pretty beat from surfing earlier in the day. And the next day I would be skating with the SURFERS as we took on the Boston Bruins Alumni team. This was another fund raiser in memory of Molly Rowlee. I was in the midst of my CATCH A WAVE FOR MOLLY campaign. For those who might not know, I Surfed every single day in Memory of this little girl Molly Rowley who passed away from cancer at the age of just 5. Ed was there for most of those days. I could always count on Ed being there documenting some of the bigger and scarier days.

COMING THIS SPRING of 2024 (April/May).
My book that I have been writing the last 100 years or so.
It's looking more and more like the book will be out by the time I hit my 20th Year Anniversary of this Blog. And that will be double the reason to celebrate in April. BOOK and BLOG.
And YES, there will be a book signing. And I will let you all know in advance, where and when. The book will be available in both hard cover and soft cover on AMAZON, BARNES & NOBLE, INGRAM, GOOGLE BOOKS, and KOBO PUBLISHING.

ATTENTION ALL NEW ENGLAND VIETNAM VETERANS
This might be something you all might be interested in. Personally, I'm not sure that celebrating the end of something that ended so badly is in order. But then again, if it's an overdue welcome home event? You might want to attend. I did attend a Honoring of Vietnam Vets back in 2018. Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots had 50 Vietnam Vets come to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. That was pretty cool. They had each of our names in lights going around the stadium. And we were all given a hat and a pin commemorating the 50th year of the end of hostilities in 1973. Plus we were all treated to a wonderful dinner and heard speakers (including Mr. Kraft). It was a nice time. This seems to just be a WELCOME HOME Event. I guess better late than never applies here.
The REAL Reason Donald Trump Turned Me Off?
Was when he said those terrible things about John McCain. As most of you already know, John McCain was a POW for over 5 years in North Vietnam. McCain was a bona fide war hero. Unlike Trump who got five draft deferments to keep from going to Vietnam. I don't really care who went to Nam and who didn't. But to mock those of us who did by calling us "Losers?" That's not OK. And by continually to mock McCain as late as last year in 2023 when he mimicked McCain being unable to lift his arm. He was badly wounded and tortured in Vietnam. And for Trump last year to mock him again? After he originally said
McCain "Was not a hero. He's a hero because he got shot down. I prefer heroes who weren't shot down."
Google it. You'll see that disgusting POS say that.
I loathe Donald Trump.
![](RPOTW 3-24-24/BLOG Trump.jpg)
I have often said, that Trump has single handedly killed the party of Lincoln. I was a member of the GOP for most of my Adult life. Whenever this man came into the political arena and said the things he said about some very decent human beings? He lost me for good. And when the GOP backed him? They lost me for good. I am NO longer a member of the GOP. They are lost. The Party Of Lincoln is no longer valid. This meme above is coming true. The damage is done. And you can thank this criminal for the undoing of what was once a respectful party.
HERE'S ANOTHER REASON WHY THE GOP HAS LOST THEIR WAY.

I loved the 70's up here. We had a great crew of surfers. I mean we really did. And of course this guy was one of them. Jeff Bertleman Obst. A classic surfer/skateboarder. We surfed a lot of swells together. He has since been living in California. But I know he checks the Blog from time to time. Hope all is well with you brother Jeff. Photo by RALPH

that happened during that year. Some of which are to this day, unexplainable. Some are just mind blowing. But all true.
I started on July 26th, 2010 and ended on July 26th, 2011.
Some rainy Sunday, pour yourself a cup and go through the journal.
Pay close attention to the month of May in 2011. Read that month and let me know what you think of that. Be forewarned it will change you forever.
