At a young 76, it was fitting that Jimmy left us on the long party weekend of Labor Day, September 1, 2023. I believe it was Jimmy’s daughter Delaney that alluded that somehow her Dad is not one to rest in peace, suggesting that even in death, he will always be alive forever in our hearts, minds and the great beyond.

Oct 23, 2023 | hot969boston.com | Lauren Beckham Falcone

Mating Deer and Moose Season are Making Massachusetts Roads Super Dangerous. According to the state’s wildlife officials, the roadways are one big mattress for mating deer and moose. Instead of swiping right or left like humans, though, male moose and deer run back and forth to find females. They don’t care if Route 1 is in the way. Those dudes are LITERALLY chasing tail. And if you’re in their way, they don’t care.
