HEAVY DELTA ROCKET

ON WEDNESDAY,DECEMBER 8,2010 SPACE X'S FALCON ROCKET WITH THE 12 FT DIAMETER DRAGON SPACE CAPSULE ABOARD WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE FROM TITUSVILLE,FLORIDA AS IT BLASTED OFF ACROSS THE INDIAN RIVER AT THE CANAVERAL AIR STATION LAUNCH PAD.

RICHARD RUSSO

I WAS AFRAID SOMEONE WOULD KNOCK ON MY FRONT DOOR TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY.  I STARTED TO LAUGH HYSTERICALLY WHEN I WAS READING RUSSO'S DESCRIPTION OF A DRIVERS ED CLASS INCIDENT IN HIS NOVEL EMPIRE FALLS.  I STARTED TO HOWL WITH LAUGHTER.  IT WAS INCREDIBLY FUNNY.

I'VE HAD AN ALL RUSSO SUMMER WITH THAT OLD CAPE MAGIC, BRIDGE OF SIGHS AND EMPIRE FALLS INTERSPERSED WITHA LITTLE JONATHAN FRANZEN'S FREEDOM.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD IS IN THIS MAINE NOVEL BY RUSSO.

DAWN-  MARTHA'S VINEYARD

FOR THE BLACK SQUIRREL IN MY YARD

MY BACKYARD

WHAT WILL YOU DO THIS WINTER?

HOW MANY NUTS HAVE YOU SAVED?

HAVE YOU BURROWED INTO ANYONE'S ATTIC?

MINE?
WHY ARE MOST SQUIRRELSS GRAY?

ARE YOU A RECESSIVE TRAIT THAT'S SLOWLY DYING OUT?

ARE YOU A CITY SQUIRREL USED TO ASPHALT THAT IS Marooned in the country?

ARE YOU NOCTURNAL?

WHATEVER! SEE YOU NEXT SPRING BOSTON BLACKIE!

BREAKDOWN LANE

LIGHT AT THE END OF TUNNEL

THE CAMPER HAS BEEN TOWED TWICE AFTER PROBABLY $1000+ IN REPAIRS. IT'S STUCK IN NEW JERSEY.

IT NEEDS NEW WIRES. THAT NEVER HAPPENS. IT'S DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN. IT HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND THE YEAR BEFORE ETC..

NOW PAYBACK FOR MY ETERNAL COMPLAINING AND LACK OF SYMPATHY, MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER LIGHT IS ON ONE WEEK BEFORE I EXIT THIS STATE. LUCKILY I'M FLYING. THE SAME MECHANICS WHO NEVER GOT THE CAMPER GOING RIGHT PUT A MUFFLER ON MY CAR FOR $259 AND IT STILL RATTLED WHICH WAS BAD ENOUGH. BUT NOW THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS ACTING UP WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE. BUT I'M WAITING UNTIL NEXT YEAR. HOPEFULLY THEY'LL HAVE HEADED BACK TO BRAZIL OR SOMEWHERE BY THEN.

DISTURBIA!

WE'RE BACK.

CAPE COD SAILING

THEY WERE LOST IN CYBERSPACE AND NOW THEY'RE BACK.

EMPIRE FALLS

I LAUGHED OUT LOUD WHILE READING RUSSO'S WORK ABOUT A DYING OR PROBABLY DEAD FACTORY TOWN IN MAINE. IT WAS A SURPRISE AND MUCH MORE FUN THAN BRIDGE OF SIGHS WHICH IS ABOUT A DYING FACTORY TOWN IN UPSTATE NEW YORK.

PERHAPS RUSSO WILL MOVE TO CHINA A ND WRITE ABOUT MANUFACTURING THERE BEFORE THOSE FACTORY TOWNS DIE OUT.

MOST OF THE BOOK TAKES PLACE IN A RESTAURANT JUST LIKE SIGHS WAS IN A CORNER GROCERY STORE.

MOONRISE AT SUNSET

The full moon is over. Now it's 96% full. It's been obscurred by fog and/or low misty clouds for days. You couldn't see Martha's Vineyard from Cape Cod yesterday. It's the heat wave. It was 87 in Boston the other day.

So waxing or waning, the moon rises and sets. Sometimes we can't see it

Sometimes.we don't bother to see it.

Lunatics never forget.

BOYLAN MAD

KEEP THE RICH RICH
OR PREFERABLY RICHER THAN RICHIE RICH
IS RICH

THAT'S HOW AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT HEALTH CARE AND TAXES.

WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT AMERICANS FINALLY HAVING HEALTH CARE LIKE EVERY OTHER PROSPEROUS COUNTRY?

WHY WOULD MOST AMERICANS CARE IF THE RICH ARE TAXED AGAIN?

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH HELPING PAY FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICES?

ARE WE WAITING FOR VOLUNTARY GOODNESS BY THE RICH?

DID THEY Care when they made zillions in the stock market while selling us overpriced real estate with easy credit?

SUNSET ON CAPE COD BAY

IF YOU'RE FOND OF SAND DUNES AND SALTY AIR
QUAINT LITTLE VILLAGES HERE AND THERE
YOU'RE SURE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH
OLDE CAPE COD

A DAY OF GOLF AT DENNIS PINES WAS FOLLOWED BY SUNSET ON CAPE COD BAY. THE SUN WAS VERY THREE DIMENSIONAL SLIPPING INTO THE HORIZON. THE AIR WAS VERY CLEAR. THE WAXING GIBBOUS MOON IN THE SKY BEHIND US WAS 99% FULL TWO DAYS BEFORE THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX. A QUICK DRIVE BACK UP THE STREET BROUGHT US TO THE MARSHSIDE RESTAURANT IN DENNIS, WHERE WE RECEIVED A SEAT BY A WINDOW RIGHT OVER THE MARSH WITH THE FULLISH MOON SHINING ABOVE.  LOBSTER STEW(bisque) WAS ON THE MENU AND SEAFOOD FRA DIAVOLO. AFTER A DAY ON THE LINKS, THEY BOTH WERE DELICIOUS. THE RESTAURANT WAS PERFECT-NOT TOO LOUD AND NOT PRETENSIOUS JUST PLEASING AND CHEERFUL FOR THE WEARY GOLFERS WHO JUST HAPPENED ON IT ON THE WAY TO SUNSET ON CAPE COD BAY.

COME FLY WITH ME

IT'S TIME TO HIT THE ROAD JACK.

SWEEPS

I GUESS ALL SWEEPS CHEAT THE CUSTOMER. I HOPED IT WAS JUST THE ROVING CHIMNEY SWEEPS. BUT EVEN THE ONES WITH ESTABLISHED BUSINESSES CHEAT. NEVER AGAIN

NEXT TIME I'LL MAKE THEM STICK TO THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATED PRICE.
I WON'T PAY IMMEDIATELY.

I'LL CALL THEM WHEN THE CHIMNEY LEAKS AFTER AN EXPENSIVE CAP IS PUT ON

I'LL DECIDE LATER WHAT I WANT DONE NOT ON THE SPOT

I'LL STOP PAYMENT ON THE CHECK

I'LL LET THE WORLD KNOW IT'S BUYER BEWARE IN THE CHIMNEY SWEEP BUSINESS EVEN IF THEY ARE LOCAL

I WON'T ALLOW ON THE JOB TRAINING OF AN ASSISTANT ON MY CHIMNEY.  NO WONDER IT LEAKS WORSE THAN IT DID.  THE ASSISTANT PUT ON CAP WHILE THE BOSS TOLD HIM HOW TO OPERATE THE DRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'LL HAVE MY HUSBAND HERE TO INSURE THAT IT'S DONE RIGHT AND AT THE CORRECT PRICE.

I'LL HAVE HIM PAY THE WORKER

3000 + flags at Kenyons Market in East Falmouth,MA
TO HONOR VICTIMS OF SEPTEMBER 11TH ASSAULT ON THE USA

THE INTERNET HAS ALLOWED THE UNEDUCATED TO PROMOTE THEIR PREJUDICED RACIAL DRIVEL AND ANTI THE COMMON MAN DRIVEL DISGUISED IN POPULIST CLOTHES. THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CAN'T ANSWER JAY LENO'S BASIC KNOWLEDGE QUESTION ON THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES SPREAD MISINFORMATION. THAT'S HOW HITLER SUCCEEDED -THE BIG LIE.
