Do you think the CBI will buy the Hawthorn motel, now up for sale?

Your caller was right and I owe Richard an apology. Richard, all the best to your move to Florida. Just wondering though. were there any duty stations out in Ca.? I was thinking you might feel very comfortable out there.

My wife and I will be selling her property , 150 feet of beachfront on Cape Cod Bay, to move to be near one of her daughters in Florida.
I will certainly not miss what Cape Cod has become. Nancy Nickerson Tansey , my HS class mate, shared this with me last week. Chatham was never expected to accommodate so many people. Not only in the summer, but year round.
I am treating this move as a move to a new duty station. I did move 14 times in 20 years in the U.S.Navy.
I would like to know just what military credentials Alan has, and who bestowed them on him.

This morning, I got a message from another regular user who found Alan's comment to be objectionable as a personal attack, and I would tend to agree. But also, the post is dealing with topics that are outside the scope of my desired ones. So I'm likely going to remove it but it may take a bit of time.

Richard, I don't believe I have admonished you for your political opinions, but instead for national politics with little or no connection to Chatham, especially outside of a national election season, and while I didn't say anything sooner, National Guard and DC trash fall into that category. But complaining about NPS cutbacks at the Seashore has a local connection. However, I will keep those posts, but remove the duplicate ones that got created.

the weekend, as of these last posts, hasn't even come to an end yet, so not understanding why the draw down is no working for you. And cars, what are you driving a F150 or something bigger. And yes Richard all your woke thoughts that come thru in a Chatham disguise of some Chatham thinking are completely obvious.

And the worry about national park budgets, you should look deeper with all these law suits being overturned, and funds going to 2 other line items that are not difficult to grasp

You cannot stop an aircraft carrier on a dime, but the ship is turning even though some continue to try and block it
