Just kidding! This was Cumberland Farms in April of 2020 — a couple of weeks after the pandemic began.

Lauren Tarshis — the Staples High School graduate, and author of the wildly popular “I Survived” series — spoke to a capacity Westport Library crowd yesterday. She signed books too.
Youngsters also competed for prizes, playing “I Survived Kahoot!” trivia.
The event was a benefit for the Westport Book Shop.

Congratulations to Caroline Lau!
The St. Luke’s School graduate — the first Westport PAL travel basketball player to receive a 4-year Division I basketball scholarship, and the first Westporter to be selected by ESPN as a Top 100 high school basketball player in the country –finished her Big 10 career at Northwestern University on Senior Day against Purdue.
With family and friends (and PAL basketball founder and past president Howie Friedman) in attendance, Caroline was the game’s high scorer (19 points) and assists leader (13).
Most impressively, her 8.4 assists per game led all D-I players this season.
During her college career Caroline played against Caitlin Clark, Jacy Sheldon, Serah Williams, Lauren Betts, KiKi Rice, and Jazzy Davidson.

Cold temperatures and wind kept crowds down at Compo Beach this weekend.
They did not bother these birds, however. They live for this stuff. Wendy Levy snapped a shot, for our daily “Westport … Naturally” feature.

And finally … We missed honoring the Ides of March yesterday.
So here, a day late:
(You can celebrate the Ides of March, St. Patrick’s Day — or any other occasion — while celebrating “06880” too. Just click here, to make a tax-deductible donation to your hyper-local blog. Thanks!)
When I was born, gas was 19 cents a gallon. Seventeen years later, when I got my driver’s license, gas was 28 cents a gallon. Gas prices rose 9 cents in 17 years.
