THIS IS AN IRISH AMERICAN YANKEE FAN IN CAPE COD.

                         That's my other blog.  The Yankees hopefully will keep winning and beat the Rays.  They'll be in the World Series and all will be right with the world.   Unfortunately my husband the Yankee fan has no idea versus who or is that whom?  There are about 30 games left.   There are are 4 or 5 teams who could make it.    So I'll blog on.  Good luck finding my other blogs.  I can barely find them

GRAND ILLUMINATION

THE CROSS ON THE TABERNACLE

I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT

LANTERNS READY FOR THE GRAND ILLUMINATION

        IT WAS GRAND  AND LATE.  I MISSED THE BOAT.  I SLEPT ON A BENCH UNDER THE TABERNACLE IN TRINITY PARK.  ALL THE COTTAGE LANTERNS WERE DOWN.  THE  OAK BLUFF FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD DRIVEN AROUND THE CIRCLE AT 10 PM TO SIGNAL LIGHTS(and candles) OUT.   THE BAND HAD PLAYED ON SO LONG BEFORE THE ILLUMINATION THAT I MISSED THE 8:30 BOAT OUT OF OAK BLUFFS AND THE 9:30 OUT OF VINEYARD HAVEN TO WOODS HOLE.

         THERE WAS NO ROOM AT THE WESLEY HOTEL.   THE CIA,SECRET SERVICE,CHAUFFEURS, GUARDS OR PERHAPS THE PRESIDENT'S BASKETBALL AND GOLFING COMPANIONS WERE ROCKING ON THE WESLEY HOTEL'S PORCH.  THERE WERE NO WOMEN THERE.  ALL THE ROOMS WERE BOOKED.

        IT'S EXTREMELY RAINY NOW THIS WEEK IN CAPE COD.  FORTUNATELY IT WAS JUST A BRIEF SHOWER AT THE TIME OF THE GRAND ILLUMINATION.  THE NIGHT WAS WARM AND CALM AS I SLEPT ON THE BENCH UNDER THE TABERNACLE.  WHEN I AWOKE AT 4 AM, A SKUNK WAS NEARBY.  AT 5 I AROSE AND USED THE PORT O SAN BEHIND THE TABERNACLE AND LOOKED FOR AN EARLY BREAKFAST.   THAT DOESN'T EXIST IN OAK BLUFFS.  SO I HEADED FOR THE HARBOR.  A ONE LEGGED WOMAN WITH  CRUTCHES ZOOMED PAST ME AS I WATCHED THE DAY BRIGHTEN.  THE SUN ROSE AROUND 6 AM AND THE BAKERY OPENED FOR APPLE FRITTERS, DONUTS AND COFFEE.  AT 7 I CAUGHT THE BUS TO VINEYARD HAVEN AND CAUGHT THE FERRY BACK TO WOODS HOLE.  MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN TOWED.  ALL WAS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD.

          LATER THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES FLEW IN FOR HIS 10 DAY VINEYARD VACATION ON BLUE HERON FARM.  ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN WERE WAITING FOR HIM AT THE WESLEY.  HOPEFULLY THE PRESIDENT WON'T MISS THE LAST BOAT OUT OF THE VINEYARD AND END UP HOMELESS LIKE ME.  GOD BLESS THOSE METHODISTS.  I KNEW I'D BE SAFE UNDER THE TABERNACLE!!!!!

SEWERCIDE

BOURNES POND FALMOUTH POLLUTED BY CAR DEALERS,BOAT STORAGE,CAR REPAIR SHOPS(2),GARB  AGE CO.,GYMS,CRANBERRIES,ROADS(RTE 28)AND FINALLY HOMES

                    NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLEAN WATER.   INSTALL SEWERS IN FALMOUTH.  GET FEDERAL ND STATE MONEY TO FUND IT.  RAISE TAXES AND FLOAT BONDS IF NECESSARY BUT DO NOT ASK THE CITIZENS FOR $30,000 EACH TO BE HOOKED UP TO THIS PUBLIC NECESSITY TO PROTECT OUR  WATER(BOTH SWIMMING AND DRINKING).

                   THE GOVERNMENT SPENT MILLIONS ON WIND TURBINES FOR CLEAN ENERGY IN FALMOUTH.   THE NOISE FROM THE TURBINES IS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF ANNOYANCE FOR THE NEIGHBORS.  THE ELECTRICITY PRODUCED IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE.  SOLAR PANELS ARE CHEAPER AND QUIETER.  THEY SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON EVERY BUILDING IN TOWN ESPECIALLY PUBLIC.

                    THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD SPEND MILLIONS ON SEWERS FOR CLEAN WATER.  THE PUBLIC SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $30,000 EACH FOR A SEWER.  WHO HAS THAT KIND OF MONEY?  HOW WERE THE WOODS HOLE SEWERS PAID FOR?????

                      IT'S SEWERCIDE TO EXPECT THE PUBLIC TO FOOT THE BILL FOR A TOWN HEALTH PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS SQUANDERING MONEY ON CLEAN BUT EXPENSIVE,NOISY, AND UNSIGHTLY WIND TURBINE ENERGY.

                     UPDATE:  PERHAPS WE'LL ONLY PAY $300 0R $400 PER YEAR.  THE FALMOUTH ENTREPRISE ONLY TALKS IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.  MENAUHANT BEACH IS ON BOURNES POND.  IT'S TOWN VISTA AND NOT JUST A NEIGHBORHOOD POLLUTION PROBLEM.  BOURNES POND IS ON A STATE HIGHWAY.  THE TOWN ALLOWED ALL THESE POLLUTING BUSINESSES AND HOMES.  IT SHOULD BE EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO SEWER THE POND NEIGHBORHOODS.  ALL FOR ONE AND ON E FOR ALL.  IF THE TOWN CITIZENS WON'T HELP PAY TO KEEP THE FALMOUTH PONDS CLEAN,THEN PUT UP A FENCE SO ONLY LOCALS CAN VIEW THEM.
                         DIVIDE THE EXPENSE AND RESPONSIBILITY AMONG ALL THE FALMOUTH CITIZENS AND THE COMMONWEALTH AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.  IF THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AREN'T GOING TO HELP PAY FOR CLEAN WATER ON CAPE COD, THEN DON'T HAVE THE GOVERNOR AND PRESIDENT NOT TO FORGET SENATORS VISITING HERE.
      IT'S A COMMONWEALTH AND A UNITED STATES.  SPEND OUR TAX MONEY HERE.
