Letter: The other sounds of summer in Tiverton

Posted

A recent contribution to NextDoor from a neighbor remarked upon the peace derived from sitting in a quiet garden, listening to nature.

The soundtrack to my summer, so far, has been the roar of illegally muffled motorcycles and the silence of the police in enforcing the law, and the squealing of overfed, overpraised, overpaid soft pink-handed men of a certain class and race suddenly having to face, many for the first time, being caught.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
