The Centerville TD Bank branch was robbed today making it the fifth TD Bank branch to be robbed on Cape Cod over the last couple months.

Since that time we have aquired 150+ Twitter followers and that's with me blocking spammers from following the CCD as I find them. This happens quite a bit. There is alot of spam on Twitter, so let's have a little fun with some of the spam profiles that follow the CCD... twitter, twitter followers, spam profiles, spam on twitter 2010-02-09T20:37:31+00:00 http://capecoddaily.com/blog/great-white-shark-enjoying-winter-in-florida.-see-you-next-summer/ http://capecoddaily.com/blog/great-white-shark-enjoying-winter-in-florida.-see-you-next-summer/#When:01:21:04Z editor Massachusetts DMF biologists say one of the great white sharks tagged with electronic tracking equipment last summer off Cape Cod has traveled as far as north Florida (50 miles off Jacksonville).

Such a monstrosity at that venue would be a tremendous community eyesore. A wind turbine will cause noise pollution and flickering shadows. It would negatively impact local bird populations. It will cause a detrimental reduction in local property values.

I saw the story come through the News Wire from a number of sources. The Cape Cod Times ran a couple stories and shot a CapeCast video about it (see below). Apparently the Allen's hummingbird is very rare around these parts.

If all goes well for the Barnstable High graduate, she could also be the next American Idol. Siobhan is the singer in a band called Lunar Valve (see video). We'll see if she turns out to be the quirky contestant the producers let into the top 24 or if she's merely Hollywood fodder.
