Autumn in Hyannisport
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the great island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this Sunday morning, the 21st day of November, 2010, as you get a glimpse of one of the amazing maples in their full Autumn glory on one of the narrow avenues of Hyannisport, Massachusetts, about 5 miles, as the Osprey flies, due east of Osterville, where I am from. This particular image was taken a few days ago a few blocks from the house where President Kennedy, Jackie and the rest of the family lived–the Kennedy Compound. Understated and elegant, the houses afforded the young Kennedy boys the chance to explore the wonders of Cape Cod, the Islands and all of the magic that exists in this amazing place. You should come visit sometime, it will knock your socks off! I just took a break from the Sunday morning talk shows because I was getting a little sea sick…I don’t get sea sick on the water, only on land when I listen to “pundits” like baseball expert and all too often guest on ABC’s “This Week, with Christiane Amanpour”, George Will. Nothing against George personally, it’s just his whole premise on politics and social justice in general that I have a problem with. The gloves are off, as it were, and thus, we have the game set to where the republicans are going to try and force extending the BUSH tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, adding that 700 billion dollars to the national debt, money borrowed directly from China, where we pay 41 cents out of every dollar we borrow on interest alone, while they are going to try and deny extending unemployment benefits for millions of truly hurting Americans right in time for Saint Nick. Hallelujah brother! and Merry Christmas to you Mr. Speaker and all of the puppets out there! You have a nice one, ‘ya hear? We will see in the end who wins the battle. Have a wonderful Sunday folks and keep the FAITH! PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
