Dexter & Plummer survey
The Fourth Estate ~ beginning with
the local "nous papers" ... 

Dexter initially finds the weekly Current
a tad difficult to folow ...

Plummer peruses Saturday's issue of
The Daily News to further pursue
ideas with Lord Tim ...

 

 

Swapping journals, Dexter takes note of
a front page photo & turns to review
the astrological week to Keep Pace with
the Heavens & "hie tides & loue tides
in the Warter side" ...

Assessing the local fortnightly broadside ~
Poet Laureate Jonathan Plummer reacts ...

then his Lordship gets a strong sense
of the"billyess Nater of the buy Weakly"

 

 

On their way ~ the two pause at the
timepiece "a pease off by owers" &
Lord Tim ~ fanatic about timekeeping ~
leaves a marker to indicate that
we have come this far.

The Knowing Ones confer on
the steps of the "publick librey" ~
asking the good question: Where have
we been, where are we now &
where are we going?

Lord Tim & Plummer decide to
recollect themselves with familiar
surroundings ~ a neighboring
dwelling house across the way
on upper State Street ...

 

 

The two pose "out dors at the hous" of
Senator Tristram Dalton ~ where George
Washington would break fast after an
overnight stay at the Tracy House
in October 1789 ...

"Grate minnes comeYouknitTate"
& grasp the Once in a Blue Moon
Opportunity at hand for the
Waterside people of today ~ as the
community marks another generation
& a 240-year milestone since the
establishment of the Waterside Third
Parish of Newbury as the separate
town of Newburyport in 1764.

Jonathan Plummer & Lord Timothy Dexter

Newbury's Cushing House Museum on the
