Canine's make great Gulash.... if we have to import a 'biological control'; Europe has WAY to many Gypsies (Roma) and as they do not intergrate in the society they live in, nor do they recognize 'property', they would certainly take care of the coyote population in say, ten years. Though true to form, we'd have another problem..

Yes, I agree. There are actually good reasons to kill people for oil. I'll get back to you after I take my SUV out to the break to toke up and think about exactly why.
Are you serious about Johnson? Were you just toilet trained, or do you think we are all stupid.
I mean, the dominoes are trying to get organized in my head over that one.
Obama is to Johnson as Oil is to Communism.
Oh yes, I understand. We were all so angry about the threat of Communism in the 60's.. kind of like we are scared about losing cheap oil? Can you help me on this one?

Good question.
But Lot's Hollow Road has how many residences? One. Unless something has changed in three years, I'm stuck on one. The owners live in the house and rent a converted garage to hard working 'out of towners', usually from Jamaica.
Giddiah Hill and Rayber, I guess you could argue for a 'triangle' there, but it would be a small fraction of the population of the Hyannis one.

I appreciate the information, Mary, thank you again.
So when will this polymer block be successfully introduced, and why has it not been done before now?
This is not a new problem. Is it efficacy? Profit?
If someone becomes an addict through no fault of their own (it does happen) how would you help them?
Would legalizing opiates help in anyway?
A bigger problem is the toxic waste from Methamphetamine manufacturing. But that's another Pow-Wow.

I'm a big fan of Rosa Rugosa. It's as native on Cape Cod as the great majority of those who live here, though.
At best- Naturalized. Like many species brought for a purpose and then targeted for eradication by those who know better. Locust, Eucalyptus, Gorse....
I'm pretty sure you can get a government grant to clear your ocean front view of yesterdays 'soil saviors' but today's 'invasives'.
I've never smelled a rose so sweet as the Rosa Rugosa, though.
I guarantee you 'Nstar' is using the 'invasive' card in their present pogrom along the power lines.....

I like golf, links style. A more natural 'that's what God intended' type of game. That means not so much fertilizer, and longer greens. Think Harwichport. They could use some sand traps and better 'rough', but then again the whole course is rough.
For so many people I have met golfing, golf is their only exercise. 'A good walk ruined', sure, but please add that it's a walk, and most of us need some motivation. I had a dog, and golf. The best was the dog on the golf course, picking up my drive before my backswing, unless I nailed it. I love to see him chase those 'invasive' geese too.
The negatives are all documented, and it should be noted that Brewster, in order to get theirs, promised 'no pesticides.' That and chemical fertilizer's are the crime here. Google earth Brewster, it's a green 'parking lot'. In fact, parking lot's are better, environmentally speaking.

The negatives are all documented, and it should be noted that Brewster, in order to get theirs, promised 'no pesticides.' That and chemical fertilizer's are the crime here. Google earth Brewster, it's a green 'parking lot'. In fact, parking lot's are better, environmentally speaking.

The Sox did win the last two games of the season over the Twins, 6-4 and 5-3.
But they lost the first game of the 'World Series', 2 to 1.

In response to: Homeschool is Cool on Cape Cod
Homeschooling is an excellent solution to modern educational needs. This article shows how parents are addressing the 'socializing' issue successfully.
Any teacher is in reality a facilitator, helping the student to take responsibility for his/her learning. Who better to do this job but an involved parent?
Many older students express a desire to 'reintegrate' with their peers in the general school population. The self awareness and motivation they have gained is a benefit to all of us.
It's not for everyone, but homeschooling done right is a win-win-win; individual, family, society.
Great work, Bethany, thanks.

It's kind of hard to argue with this post. Certainly the CCT was entertaining. But then again, so is this site. The 'truth' we all hear is often manufactured, bought and paid for by advertising dollars. Then it's reported as 'news'. I used to like reading the Wall Street Journal to see the future market driven news. It was surprising and revealing.
Ed Smith of 'The Oracle' eschewed editorials because he never wanted to be 'smarter than you are'. It was also the right thing to do, ethically speaking.
You cannot be objective writing about a restaurant when they buy you lunch, and less so when they hand you a hundred dollars on the way out the door.

You take as a personal statement my comments about Celsius and Fahrenheit which I took time to research and construct and had nothing to do with you. Then you deleted them, like flushing a toilet. Seriously, I wish for you to to answer the questions I raised, before or after 'taking your meds'. And while you're at it, address yourself to the questions I raised, which in fact had nothing to do with you as a person, were not personal, and if fact could have interesting possibilities. In fact the thrust of my arguement was to persuade you into doing just that. Tell me how about, or teach me about measurements. But also listen to me when I say how 'Europeans' react to the 'temperature'. Apparently you missed this, in your conflagration. I meant, nor mean, any personal attack upon you, as a person. It takes me more time than you consider to construct a response to you. For you to dump me, 'ad hominem', is disingenuous at best. I'm sorry you could not actually answer the questions, which are all evident. European concepts of cold and hot and how they relate to us are lost

Wonderful words, Bethany;
A little honesty wouldn't hurt your journalistic pursuits.
Please let us know when you are half way to 'self-sufficiency'.
And I'd love to know exactly what it means, to you.
I look forward to many more of your wondrous words. Specifically, tell me how mud tastes different in the morning, when your fingers are numb, how if you don't dig another bucket just as the tide fills your boots you just won't make rent.

Well, I walk to your house in the afternoon
By the butcher shop with the sawdust strewn
"Don't give away the goods too soon"

And I tried so hard to resist
When you held me in your handsome fist
And reminded me of the night we kissed
And of why I should be leaving

I think it's called my destiny

This house IS being built because of a LOOPHOLE.
In fact any owner of a shack within the seashore which has been expanded in the same manner as 'The Billboard House' can exploit the same LOOPHOLE.
'It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission', is an axiom attributed to Grace Hopper, and is the modus operandi of any such property within any similar government property. That it works, and can be employed, is instructive to all of us.
Personally, I always dreamed of a quaint cottage withinn the seashore bracketed by trees, ponds, and oceans.
That someone elses dreams include property value should not be discriminated against by law.
I'm sure I would have to think of the possiblility of selling my dream someday, having achieved it in a legal, though perhaps unforeseen manner.

I feel a certain pride when called a 'breeder', though my ability is declining.
And yes, being called 'a piece of wood' or asked to 'share a fag' is quite funny.
The closest our 'brothers' have is 'cracker', a term which Billie Holiday used in a deliciously derisive manner.
But us Crackers have no 'N' word that now in and of itself qualifies as a 'hate crime' condemning writers such as Hemingway and Conrad to P.C. Purgatory. A word only we 'members of the community' can use, and accuse our 'brothers' of Racism when they merely utter. 'Honky' is just too quaint. Being called a 'white ass honky bitch' is actually a compliment in the Black Gay community in Washington D.C., for instance. Of course, my French Canadian 'Sista's' may or may not agree.

Look at the bright side; The Billboard house was a giant sand fence. The new house will be a how many percent improvement over that?

Or, let's establish a national park and leave tiny lots scattered here and there within it for private profit!
In effect, this is the future for OUR National Seashore. There are hundreds of opportunities, in the guise of small cottages just like the original on 'the gut' waiting for legal exploitation, and the losers are all of us that believe in 'public property'
However, Mother nature has yet to weigh in. The bigger picture includes water, and a cleaner harbor once the gut opens up again, which sadly will not be in our lifetime.
And the present owners will be long gone, and the house to be built will be a shack compared to the one that topples into the sea.

The Crème fraîche found in specialty food stores and some grocery stores in North America is pasteurized and the only problem with buying it is its price; it is ridiculously expensive. So much so that you may want to try making your own. It really is quite simple; all you do is gently heat heavy whipping cream (contains 36 - 40% butterfat) and then stir in some buttermilk. This mixture is left to sit, slightly covered, in a warm draught-free place for around 24 hours. It is ready when it is thick, with the consistency of thick cream. If it still looks a little runny after 24 hours, leave it another 8 to 12 hours but move it to a warmer spot. And don't worry about the cream going bad. Regan Daly in her book 'In the Sweet Kitchen' tells us that "the benign live bacteria in the buttermilk will multiply and protect the cream from any harmful bacteria". Once the crème fraîche has thickened sufficiently, cover and place in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken and take on a more tangy flavor as it ages. Crème fraîche will keep in the refrigerator for about 7-10 days.

Criminal tourism is much easier to define. We must initiate a mechanism to arrest them, or at least fine them, so they will be aware of the crime they are guilty of. You know them right away, the way they dress, act, expect you to do tricks for money, serve them food without proper remuneration, (especially effen queebs and New Yorkers in August), etc, etc, ad nauseum. The Parks department in Orleans could recoup some of it's Beach losses from 'Cash on the spot' fines for various violations, perhaps some of the fine folks here can assist in the necessary profile? Honestly, target the Criminal Tourist before the Criminal Immigrant. If people just stayed where they belonged we wouldn't have either problem. We on the Cape were happy eating turnips and Clam and Rhubarb pie years ago, and were all quite happy before these Criminal Tourists with their Criminal Immigrant coterie infested this narrow land, starting with Saint Thoreau himself, the original Criminal Socialist pig

At what point will the price in the States stabilize? If this is a 'war for oil', why aren't the prices coming down? Why does it cost so much more in Europe?
One more question to ask, if you dare. Since we cannot live in peace in the middle east, will we create a new country for those that must leave? And who gets to stay? How many more lives must be lost for the ridiculous idea of a 'homeland'
Do we all have a right to live where we want without fear?
Isn't the world getting too small to claim my little corner for myself, and those like me?
When will religous belief acknowledge all beliefs?
Where's the next war, I'm ready to fight.
But first, can we make them all 'bugs' like in 'Starship Troopers' by Robert Heinlein?

Once upon a time, to renovate or add to a house within the 'Seashore' required no more than 50 percent increase in square footage plus a certain amount of the 'original' building to remain. At the time the 'Billboard' was built, (actually, a renovation), I think one wall remained, but was allowed to be replaced later. Now comes a much more 'appropriate' design, which of course is win/lose situation. The seller wins, the buyer wins, we all lose, since the Seashore itself HAD a mandate to minimize ANY development within it borders, specifically to buy properties exactly like this and demolish them. From a simple shack to a McMansion, all completely legal. But don't worry, the Seashore in it's wisdom still takes many of these shacks from us and keeps them, who knows, perhaps they can sell them to the highest bidder? Then they can pay more rangers to keep us on the path, etc.
If you have money, and a law degree, certainly property within the seashore is still a great investment.

Some cartoons don't play well in 'Sound Bite' era. When you flesh out the background, the 'more than meets the eye' may become apparent, in time. We all like encouragement, even the 'square' cartoonists like Ned, who I've never read a discouraging word from, unless you count the ones that concern Jack.

Bicycles have as much right to the road as any other vehicle. As such, we must follow the 'rules of the road', signaling when we turn, proper lane placement, etc. It's much safer to ride on the road, and faster too, than the bike path, unless you get up real early before the gawking bike path tourists, who really aren't going anywhere. 6A and 28 are indeed dangerous. Still, you can put a rider on each side and two cars in their respective lanes safely, if those drivers just drive the cars, and stay in their lanes. All too often, you swerve out, and swerve in, and guess what? There I am, you don't gauge speed correctly. It's drivers that are stupid, sister. I don't think you have to worry about any spandex sperm coming your way either. I wear cotton, and I don't care what you think about me, it's my road too.

In fact, truthfully, how many 'Sodomites' that you know actually practice Sodomy?
How many God-fearing Christians practice Sodomy?
Is it any of your business?

I'm pretty sure Aaron has had a hard time.
I'm fairly sure he can handle it.
What I want to find out, and I know he will let me know, is if he can handle the hard core pols up in Boston.
You go, Guy!

In response to: Take Me Out to the Ballgame
I haven't been to a red sox game since I was an altar boy. I think it cost about what it costs now to attend a Cape Cod Baseball league game. But I didn't know. And the ancillary costs of a local game now are more than I care to know. When I was an altar boy, we all looked to the town team as a goal. Yes, each town required on the roster three 'townies'.
The kids today don't watch or care. It's babysitting central, and another vicarious american experience. Right here, on Cape Cod.
But business is good, and we all benefit, right?
I don't think so.
How long before the Cape Cod Baseball league charges an entrance fee, Andrew?
We in Orleans can't use our own field for less that $250.00 and forget the summer.
Sure, I'd vote for beer to defray the costs. But that only lasts so long.

In response to: Last week's accident on the Sagamore bridge may not,
for once I agree with M. Porcupine.
The upshot from all the falderal(folderol) will be the compromise that has proved successful over in Bourne. Y'all be familiar with the funnel effect there? Well, it'll be coming here, to island Cape Cod real soon. Count me as disappointed when the 'other' rotary (bourne) was lost and we only had a one lane approach to the bridge. Same as Sagamore kids. And it's for the best. Our side of the bridge will soon follow, but it may be delayed. Hopefully no one has to die.
The state has done a great job. The lanes on the bridges are the same. Plenty of room for four tractor-trailers to pass with eight feet left.
It remains a one lane entrance, which is safe, for three approaches. The one remaining is heading off Cape, in Sandwich. The only question I see, is, for how long?

In response to: Clinton, Genius? Bush, Dunce?
In response to: Clinton, Genius? Bush, Dunce?
I believe it's impossible to 'prove' global warming. But for the fact it's happening, and there is absolutely nothing we can do to stop it. I call those who think we run the show hopelessly myopic, obviously egoistic. At the same time, I'm against needless waste. I see every industry to be needlessly wasteful. Until we bring personal responsibility into the mix, we'll never stop wasting energy, time, the planet. The 'conservative' view is to exploit resources. The 'Liberal' becomes conservative when for instance seals or plovers are protected past the point of idiocy. Collectively, we will not grow up until we get off the grid, and stop killing our children for the priviledge of driving across the street.
Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar. I guess he had connections, right?
It doesn't change the fact that George Bush might have an I.Q. below the alleged Christa Worthington killer.
But, we 'liberals' know that G.W. has nothing to do with what's going on now. He does what he's told. And he's perfect for the job. Those that pull the strings fear anyone with an individual thought.

In response to: Posin' at PAAM Last Weekend!
Lot's to digest here. I always liked the writing and 'Bonfire' was prescient.
Have you read 'Charlotte Simmons'?
Peace.
