I just got back from Cape Cod again (via Internet, of course). A couple of weeks ago I found this site, a group of bloggers and small town newspapers around the bay.
I can't stay away. I've discovered that:
For almost 300 years, the town of Chatham, Mass., could rely on a year-round supply of cod. None have been caught there since January.
John Quincy Adams skinny dipped regularly in the Potomac during his administration. Once he had been dodging a reporter who wanted to interview him about the National Bank. She waited outside the White House one morning and watched him as he went to the river and undressed. When he entered the water she sat on his clothes and bargained for an interview as he stood waist deep in the freezing water. Oh, to have GWB in such a waterballing predicament.
Christy's has 1% milk for $2.99 a gallon.
I got a recipe for elderberry pie.
And this from Cheap Eats:
Life is too cheap for short wine...

For your Cape Cod exploring
For your Cape Cod exploring pleasure, you might want to try this site, too. Not updated since 2005 but still chock full of the kind of stuff that'll inspire the recognition that Southerners and Yankees aren't always as different as we think (I have dual citizenship).
Liberty and justice for all.
