Every week, City Manager Tom Aspell gets out his economy-sized tub of SPF 45, lays out in the sun and has a cabana boy spell out a city memo on his back in suntan lotion. Then he parades around to a sassy Carribean beat for our amusement.

The Concord Public Library will present Capoeira Brasil Boston on Aug. 6 at 10 a.m. at Eagle Square. Capoeira is a martial art that combines dance, music, and acrobatics with fighting techniques. This unique and energetic art has its roots in the African slave culture of Brazil, Aspell writes, and has become increasingly popular in the United States as an art form and a means of self-expression.
This program celebrates the conclusion of the library's summer reading program, One World, Many Stories, and is sponsored by the Concord Public Library Foundation. The venue has been provided by the Concord Parks and Recreation Department. In the event of rain, the program will be held at the Green Street Community Center, Aspell writes.

The contractor is also working to connect side streets and water service to the new main on Loudon Road.
That's all we could get out of Tom this week. Be sure to check out the Insider next week to see what other crazy stuff Tom has scrawled on his body. We told you that tattoo was a bad idea, but would you listen?
