Dicyrtomina (a type of Globular Springtail) seem to outnumber all other visible lifeforms on this speck of my planet, especially off-season. They are harmless. They are weird. And they are absolutely everywhere.
Vineyard Haven shorefront north of the steamer wharf, c. 1910s. Can you match up any of the other buildings in the photo to the map? How many are still standing?
An unidentified couple poses on Circuit Ave., OB, 1920, near Fred Metell's plumbing shop.
The unique Vineyard surname "Metell" was coined by immigrant José Pimental, born on the island of Flores in the Azores, who took on the sound-alike name “Joseph P. Metell” upon arriving on the Vineyard. (If you ever meet a Metell anywhere in the world, odds are excellent that they’re from Martha's Vineyard.)
