When coming in from the water, pumpkinseeds, alewives and angledogs are the sign of a good day’s catch. Get home from the harbor by driving on the parkway. If you’re on a pigsticker and about to crash, a heap might soften the impact. A setback doesn’t have to be a bad thing – especially if you have some money on it. Take your winnings and treat your friends to a torpedo.
