Boston
























































Spent the day visiting Boston, Sam Adams Brewery, Bunker Hill Monument 300 steps of leg jello hell, but worth the view, USS Constitution, The Old North Church, and the set and bar from "Cheers" We just found out we'll be moving to Harrisburg PA next week. So I didn't have the time really see Boston, but a quick tour is better than no tour.

Cape Cod





































Heres some pictures of New Bedford,MA and Cape Cod National Seashore. The scenery is quite pleasant, drivers suck, and people are somewhat standoffish. While eating at a little diner my waitress asked me if I wanted another Coke, I said "Yes please". When she brought me my drink I said" Thank you very much" she stated "You must be from the midwest, because no one is that polite around here. I said "What a shame, my mother taught me to be polite to everyone" She said " Anyway it is quite refreshing to have someone with some manners" I said "Thank the Kennedys,they have been looking down on their nose rest on the US for years" She quietly nodded and walked away. She soon return with a piece of pie."Compelments of the house, we don't like the Kennedys either. Now thats my kinda place, servillity served with a piece of humble pie.

Provincetown,Mass














































Today I went out to Cape Cod to visit the national seashore and one of the oldest cities in the US. As a strolled the town I stopped at the first pub, est 1871, to have a drink. I struck up a conversation with very friendly bar keep when I noticed a picture of a photo on the wall. "Who's the naked guy" I asked. "Tenneesse Williams, he wrote A Street Car Named Desire in an upstairs room here. Then I noticed a few other pictures and my bar keeps over friendlyness when turtle brain realized,GAY BAR. Now a few years ago when I was working in Elko, NV the first bar I walked into had 2 lesbians and a gay indian who tried to get me drunk, now 3000 miles away the first bar I walk into is a gay bar. I finished my drink and backed out the bar to continue walk of the town when it came to me there more gays in this town that Fresco. It was quaint and historic, althought when the Pilgrams came here for religous tolerence I bet the had no idea what was going to happen 300 odd years later. By the way stopped for another drink, gay bar, oh well, free country. I will update with seashore pictures, you know lighthouses and such.

Labor Day






After a long road trip of work I ended up in Cape Cod via Greenville,SC. Flew home this weekend and went to St Louis to pick up a sidecar and then back to Indy to have a party at my brother Dennis's to celebrate Caseys return from Marine boot camp. Everybody was there and of course Dad had center stage. I get that warm fuzzy feeling when my whole family is together,because it doesn't hust as bad about the ones who are no longer with us. Leaving Tuesday for Cape Cod where I am supposed to work the rest of the year. Can't wait for New England fall colors. Watch for updates
