Ha! I was just down there taking my son to visit my parents in Darien - when we pulled onto the island the deerflies were bouncing off the windshield of the truck in their dozens. We grabbed our essentials and scampered into the house.
Those fool protesters think they're going to lead a revolution when they can't even arrange for an advance man?
Next time you're down, we should all meet up at Archie's for coffee.
I hardly had time to get a cup of coffee out of my folks' kitchen!
Next time I'll try to give you warning!
I'm game... until Miss E's near-death experience we went to St. Andrew's in Darien where her old priest migrated.
*gasp* I didn't know Miss E had been ill. Is she better now?
The plate she had put in her neck in 2001 fixed the problem ( a vanished disc ) but it was a squeaker- she has probably recovered about 90% of what she was before the problem developed. Unfortunately, her singing voice has never recovered- here once remarkable SATB range ( soprano, alto, teno, bass ) is gone.
It must be very hard losing her singing ability, but wonderful she's made such a recovery.
I've been watching helicopters today...quite a few of them. Don't think I've seen any since the thunderstorm.
I think these cities need to require a protest damage bond of about $10,000 before these things. The protesters can get their money back if no damage has been done. These guys come into town, bust up windows, tear up pavement, turn over and burn cars. I'm sick of seeing the locals stuck with cleaning up the mess.
That was a quick trip! Do try to give warning - especially if it's before school starts back!
Yes, there is quite a lot of activity up in the sky- the Black Helicopter folks are probably going nuts.
On the other hand, I suspect crime is way down in Brunswick and across the county- not just from all the police and military I see patrolling; I have even seen motorcycle patrols, something we haven't had for years.
