The more I read about colonial history the more I am convinced that our fashionable cartoon versions are out of date. For years the narrative has fluctuated between the super patriot myth
and the Marxist born in sin cartoon.
I want to point out that there were real crimes committed against Indians in the founding of the country. However, the Indians were not proto hippie commies who lived in ways similar to Mazzola commercials. Like us they had their own issues and were capable of crimes against weaker tribes.This is not intended as justification of the crimes, but to view events in a more realistic light.
Native Americans societies acted in their own interests. The Algonquin had their French Allies led by Champlain attack their enemies. The Iroquois attacked smaller tribes and wiped out a few. The Oneida took in the Tuscarora refugees. The Mohawks and Joseph Brandt were ties to the Crown by both family and financial ties. Both sides committed atrocities against each other.
The true history is of people with motives and tribes acting in their own interests. The colonials and the Native Americans were more like us than we presume.

Clinton warns of the creation of right wing terrorists
I am quite amused and perplexed by Bill Clintoon's concern that the Tea Party protests could foster the growth of terrorists.
There are a bunch of losers and freaks who talk about revolution in America as the answer to all of societies problems. They are more doctrinaire and fundamentalist than the folks who watch the 700 club whom they mock and their Muslim allies. Their statements are virtually indistinguishable from Nazi type of bigotry.
The government seems oblivious to hate when it is expressed at so called peace protests or in tax payer supported Universities so long as it is sanctioned by Marx or Jihad. Of course Clinton is not honest about the true source of 90% of the world's terrorism. However, he did have a rare good moment when he told off a 9-11 truther in uncharacteristically direct terms. Of course Clinton has not deduced with rare exception truthers are from the far left and those who are not
merely ape the rhetoric about Jews from far left sources.
Clinton was a lousy President. However, unlike Obama he was clever enough to know how far to push the envelope to the left. Obama is clearly clueless and those who wish him ill should consider that Joe Biden would even be worse. We would be stuck with a series of Obama mythology that would be on a par with the JFK mythology. The midterm election will send a message, but will Obama listen.

Russia is right
Actually, I would like to see more countries ban international adoptions. There are two types of adoptions. For the most part there are the orphan adoptions. These cases are very regulated and are usually real orphans going to deserving families. The process is long and costly and should be so. For the most part these are real families and genuine adoptions. Countries should do a much better job of regulating this area. Children do not come with warranties or a fresh leather smell.
The other type of adoption is almost always done by relatives to skirt immigration law. This should be discouraged unless the family can establish some compelling reason. This reason should have nothing to do with country conditions with the rare exception of persecuted religious or ethnic minorities. The excuse that conditions in country x by itself is not sufficient explanation.

The NYT discovers who the Tea Party Protesters Are
Of course had the folks at the NYT been at an actual protest the fact that the participants are more educated and wealthier than the general public would have been self evident.
Onto the poll itself the NYT tries to inject race into the story. Of course when the economy is in the toilet Black Americans suffer just as much if not more than the rest of us. The NYT also ignores the impact of regressive taxation like the beverage tax which is a direct assault by Marxists on poor families.
The rest of us who have been at actual Tea Party events knew this information.
Perhaps the NYT will ask Peace Protesters the following questions
1) How many times have you been arrested
2) Are you a communist, marxist, anarchist, green, jihadi or generic Jew hater?
3) When was the last time you did illegal drugs, had a shower or were gainfully employed?
4) Do you think a cabal of Jews blew up the WTC, runs the media and or the government?
5) Do you support Hugo Chavez?
Of course the criminal activity and obsessive Jew hatred at so called peace protests is readily apparent to people who have witnessed these events. Many of the participants actually do sound like "Bill & Ted" gone psychotic.

Arrogance from Albany
The ethically challenged Gov. of NY State has passed a beverage tax. Not satisfied with high alcohol, tobacco and energy taxes the far left Dems want to rob working families under the guise of curbing obesity. The most disgusting part of this diabolical plan is the plan to tax powdered drinks.
Is this idiotic out of touch political hack so clueless as to not be able to grasp that very poor people
use Tang, Ice Tea mixes and so forth to stretch limited food budgets.
The real solution is for all state employees making over 70,000 a year to get a 5% pay cut. The problem is not revenue it is expenditures. Also if certain departments are understaffed there should be immediate hires. Paying policemen and other law enforcement officers absurd amounts for overtime needs to end.

America's Favorite Frenchman
The book I am reading is Forgotten Allies. It discusses the role of the Oneida Indians in the American Revolution. I am familiar with the Battle of Oriskany from reading a few books on the subject. Amazingly, according to the author 12% of the Colonial forces were Onieda Indians. While the large contingent of indians fought for Brandt under St. Ledger the contributions of the Onieda
seem to be downplayed in accounts of these campaigns.
The book starts with President Monroe hosting the last surviving American Revolutionary War General Lafayette. America did lavish a large sum of money on Lafayette and he named his son after George Washington.
The story starts with Lafayette on Tour of America greeted by an adoring nation. Lafayette stops in Oriskany NY to be greeted by crowds. The general is greeted by a few veterans that he recognized. However, Lafayette asks where are the Oneida. The requests stuns the locals and asks to meet with the Oneida. The locals find a handful of Oneidas in the area. Lafayette remembers two of them on sight Blatcop Tonyentagoyon and Henry Cornelius. He granted the Oneidas something he granted nobody else a private audience. The Oneida told them how they had lost much of their land and could not even hold a great hunt. Many were moving to Wisconsin. The Oneida had a special name for Lafayette Keyewalla or Great Warrior.
Over the next few days I will be discussing some of the material about the Oneida and the American Revolution. In an ideal world European Settlers kill each other and leave Indians in peace unfortunately this does not happen.
The rest is history.

Lack of manners
I usually do not stoop to deal with the type of comments offered up by Mark Winters. Regular readers know that I am not a TSA officer. I have friends who do that job. Of course long term readers know where "Officer Blowhard" works. Then again we have not heard what type of vocation Winters works. We do know that at various times Yeagley was an educator and social worker.
I am a mainstream NYC style Republican. My politics lean more towards Rudy than the current Mayor but either is more capable than Obama. The John Birch Society is a fringe movement that more mainstream types like William F Buckley had little time or interest in.
Onto the Cold War, my position is relenting and unyielding opposition to Marxism. Unlike Yeagley I do not work with or associate with Commies when expedient. There is no wavering in my stance unlike Yeagley who seems quite absurd as a born again Cold Warrior who frequently will work with AIM when it is expedient. Sorry, but any reading of this blog is quite clear on that subject.
On a larger note. We respect the loyalty you have for Yeagley. However, each of us have decided
to walk away for our own reasons. I can not talk for anyone other than myself. Yeagley knows where I can be found and has acceded to my wishes to promote my own vision. My request when I departed was for no further contact.
I will talk only of my own experiences. I did not nor would I ever sign onto any type of racialist hate site. I too granted and argued with Yeagley about the differences between attempting to preserve a culture and racial purity. I really did not read much beyond the Jewish sections and Heat. I would read the brilliant posts of the Editrix, Amil, Kidst, Mac and many others. Over time I noticed some nasty comments about race by Yeagley. I took his spin, but in light of the constant Obama as a Negro bit this became too much.
I tried to have an honest discussion with Yeagley about what being an American is all about. Each and every time the topic was brought up his rabid developmentally disabled mongrel Batty Ann would veer into an attack, Ray Friggon would wax off about conspiracy of the week and Yeagley would avoid the subject. It has become abundantly clear that his vision and mine are vastly different.
Now I have many friends with whom I disagree on many subjects. However, I will not debase myself and continue to be associated with a site whose racial commentary is vulgar and offensive to my view of Patriotism. If you like I encourage you to ask the Editrix, Mac, Ray, Gator, CM, TMW and Warren why they left Bad Eagle. Yeagley has no interest in the subject and has moved on and so should the rest of us.
If you wish to walk with Yeagley that is your choice. I respect your choice, but it is one that is not
for me.
Officer Blowhard left a higher paying job to serve the American people after a series of close encounters with death at the WTC. It was not enough to be a number on a ledger sheet. I was too old to go to Iraq and I wanted to change lives. I signed on to work with DHS. My job requires an oath to uphold the Constitution which I readily took even though I could have affirmed for religious reasons. My job is to serve the American people and this includes people of all races, religions and national origins. In doing my job I have to display the correct respect for people who are different. One must perform the task at hand while dealing with cultural issues respectfully. The notion that I would ever treat people adversely due to race, religion and so forth is abhorrent to Officer blowhard.
Officer Blowhard is a Native NYC resident and has lived there most of his life. As a fairly normal NYC resident he is adept and appreciates other cultures. He has had serious romances with women who were not from his culture and lives a very ordinary life. In NYC one lives and comes
into contact with a variety of people. This is not the case of some NYC types like Rav Roov who is more traditional. However, Rav Roov interacts and appreciates people from other cultures. He is sophisticated enough not to pass judgment on others while being faithful to his religious principles.
The choice of any person to stay or go at Bad Eagle is entirely up to their own personal convictions. As much as I respect the Editrix, my choice to leave was when I could no longer look at the really hateful comments and disdain for the American ideals and justify my continued presence. If you do not make similar observations we respect that. If over time you see it my way it would not shock me. Some of us took longer to notice but have left for similar reasons.
Officer Blowhard writes about many subjects. He would kindly appreciate it if you would leave the subject of Yeagley to posts dedicated to such topics like this one. I really do not wish to discuss this subject on other threads.

Benedict Arnold Revisited
For those of us that are familiar with this subject feel free to skip this post.
Benedict Arnold was perhaps the most capable military leader of the American Revolution. He was
very much an outsider and despite all of his brilliant achievements a clique of lesser talents seem to get all of the promotions and credit.
While his treason remains a fact so does the brilliant achievements. There might not have been a successful revolution without the efforts of Benedict Arnold. The time has come to take a more balanced look at his record in total. He did do the wrong thing, but we can not dismiss his achievements.
Simply Arnold stormed Fort Ticonderoga with the help of the Green Mountain Boys. Some of the Canons there end up breaking the siege of Boston. Arnold recognized the strategic value of the Champlain Corridor. He then leads a spectacular march across the wilds of Maine. One can fault him somewhat on the planning. Many of his men die or are weaken to where they can not fight.
They come much closer to taking Quebec than is commonly assumed.
The Brittish have to get the Colonialists out of Canada and spend time and effort there rather than in Boston. The Colonists gather strength and supplies and build armies. Arnold creates a mini Navy on Lake Champlain and thwarts a naval invasion down lake Champlain.
The next year Arnold relieves Fort Stanwix with some rather creative use of the mentally ill Hons Yost Schuyler. He rushes back to Saratoga and leads the toops getting wounded again in the pivotal battle of Saratoga.
Oddly Arnold's efforts impress the French who aid the Colonials. This is not exactly what Arnold desired. He isn't given proper credit or compensation. Some blame his much younger loyalist wife for the treason that followed.
I would like to think the tales of him regretting his treason on his death bed are true.
For those of you who prefer to read historical novels. He does make a brief appearance in Drums Along the Mohawk. If you can acquire the version with the literature professor's notes before and after they are well worth the extra money. I am trying to track down a more direct version in the Historical Novels of Kenneth Roberts. He is a portrayed in three books.

Been A Good Sport but now annoyed
Winters, I have defended our friendship. This is not Bad Eagle East Coast. Yeagley is a big boy and if he wanted to tangle with me I am not hiding. He was a former friend who failed his readers and his friends.
I don't know about you but I never signed onto a racial hate site. Had Yeagley been honest about his racial animus instead of hiding behind mock patriotism I might be more forgiving. I thought I was signing onto a Conservative site, not Stormfront lite.
While Yeagley can dismiss some dissent from non- Americans and that of the Communist Duck he loses in any tangle with me. Unlike Yeagley, who works with Communists when expedient I make their lives miserable. Unlike Yeagley I am trained in law and serve my country as an officer.
I am sorry for some of the sentiments said about Kidst, Amil and yourself as I consider all to be friends. That being said there is no rationalization for continued defense of Yeagley.
The way I see it is simple
1) He is a fake patriot and Christian
2) He is a racial arsonist
3) He is fairly homophobic
4) He is in no definition Conservative
5) He quotes books and articles he sometimes does not bother to read.
Those are the thoughts of an American patriot about a man I consider a disgrace. My thoughts were not influenced by the Editrix, Mac, Ray or anyone else.
Bad Eagle was a great idea. Unfortunately David Yeagley is a pathetic hate filled man who is deeply disturbed and not particularly bright. I don't know about you, but those of us who believed in the marketing of the idea have every right to be upset.
You want to post this rant on BE, be my guest.

Through a howling wilderness
This is a brilliant but short book. I describes a part of American History not often discussed in any lengths in our textbooks.
Benedict Arnold whose name is synonymous with treason is a complex person. He certainly was a man of great courage and charisma. Oddly he is everywhere mostly producing dramatic victories at Ticonderoga, Saratoga and after the Battle of Oriskany in the relief of Ft Stanwix.
Arnold had a brilliant idea. The problems were many. The landscape and timing of his invasion were not to his advantage. The route was unknown and Arnold did not rely upon Indian guides who could have gotten him through in one piece. The scouts that he selected hated Indians. Logistically the route was a nightmare. Even with space age plastic boats and more efficient foodstuffs this route would vex travelers today even with maps.
Arnold's treason should be tempered by his real feats. I too would like to believe in the tale that on his death bed he sought forgiveness for his treason.
The real face of treason should be Rosenbergs, Bill Ayers and Gomer Kerry. Unlike Arnold they
were neither brave and contributed zero to America while aiding a hostile foreign ideology.
At a certain point we will be discussing the Oneida and more of the self serving clown Trotsky who life of stupidity and criminality has been turned into a cartoon by his clown like disciples.

The idiotic Duck
I was quite amused by the moronic water fowl's comment to the Editrix that I see everything through the prism of Israel. Of course saying this to a Jewish American is bigoted. He would never
make an absurd comment like this to Uptown Steve or posters from India.
The moronic Duck has yet to figure out that I am first and foremost a cold warrior. My relentless
opposition to Marxism in all its forms does not need a history lesson. I am also proud of the folks at Bababalu for their exposure of Marxist brutality and hypocrisy in Cuba and elsewhere.
The mindless Duck can not differentiate between a classic patriotic liberal and a Conservative. Mr. Beamish is your typical Conservative and I am somewhere more towards the center. While the Duck talks about workers he has not deduced that I am a union member and active in my union. My local fights for the rights of the workers and does what unions are supposed to do protect the rights of the workers and improve working conditions. Of course the Duck can lecture us about worker rights in Cuba or the Soviet Union or unions as adjuncts of a corrupt government.
The Duck is a walking example of the reflexive mindlessness of the left.
1) Cuba has great health care that placed AIDS patients in gulag lite, gays and political prisoners
in mental hospitals and practiced lobotomies long after it was abandoned in the West. One would wonder if some of the Duck's friends such as Ren availed themselves to socialized lobotomies.
2) Gitmo has better health care than Cuba and its prisoners can freely practice religion and read what they wish.
3) Cuba denied water to a political prisoner and tossed him into a freezing room to induce kidney
failure. Sorry, but this is more flagrant than panties on the heads of Muslims or water boarding.
4) Cuba houses cop killer Joanne Chesimard and other criminals.
5) Everyone in Cuba can read exactly what the government tells them to read.
6) The Duck talks about mafia prostitution in Cuba while ignoring his mostly Euro lefties flocking to Cuba and exploiting the locals. Prostitution is alive and well in Communist Cuba and its far left patrons are engaging in local Capitalism.
7) How long are commies going to blame Batista for the failed mess in Havana.
8) Cuban workers vote with their feet and leave and the only Americans who go the other way are criminals like convicted Communist Cop killer Chesimard.
The Duck supports a system that has in repeated applications maliciously starved people to death while railing about 50 kinds of Potato Chips think Utz with Crab seasoning. Gays are persecuted as policy in his sainted PA and communist countries.
Sorry but populist Jooo hatred does not qualify as original thought. Moreover, there are plenty of Hitler attacking Capitalism quotes on record. Nazis and Communists allied to divide Europe before Hitler turned on his Communist allies. The oft cited 20,000,000 dead includes 1,500,000
Jews that had zero to do with the Soviet War effort. Moreover this includes Hiwis and people who fought for the Nazis and were executed by Stalin. It is also not a virtue to get your own people killed by incompetence. Furthermore without Western aid the Soviets lose. Unlike the USA, UK and Germany they were incompetently fighting a single front war.
Who were the Hiwis and why did they fight for the Nazis has been reduced by some as simple Jooo haters. This does explain some cases, but the brutal crimes perpetrated by commies is responsible for the rest.
Nazism is a disgusting vile ideology. However, every single crime and criticism of Nazism is also applicable to Communism and to its corollary Islamo communism.
FYI Duncy when you talk of crimes committed by commies against Muslims you are in comedy mode. An apologist for a system that placed Muslims on cattle cars to Siberia to die talking about
Pseudostinians is comedic. If you think your 70% number is high try 90% of Jews killed in Poland and the Batic areas. Jews do not run around shooting school kids in the back or tossing seniors in wheel chairs off ocean liners.
The only good Marxism is that of the Marx Brothers. Chico Marx is greater philosopher than Karl. Get you tootsie fruitsie Ice Cream.
make an absurd comment like this to Uptown Steve or posters from India.

4) Cuba houses cop killer Joanne Chesimard and other criminals.
5) Everyone in Cuba can read exactly what the government tells them to read.
6) The Duck talks about mafia prostitution in Cuba while ignoring his mostly Euro lefties flocking to Cuba and exploiting the locals. Prostitution is alive and well in Communist Cuba and its far left patrons are engaging in local Capitalism.
7) How long are commies going to blame Batista for the failed mess in Havana.
8) Cuban workers vote with their feet and leave and the only Americans who go the other way are criminals like convicted Communist Cop killer Chesimard.
The Duck supports a system that has in repeated applications maliciously starved people to death while railing about 50 kinds of Potato Chips think Utz with Crab seasoning. Gays are persecuted as policy in his sainted PA and communist countries.
Sorry but populist Jooo hatred does not qualify as original thought. Moreover, there are plenty of Hitler attacking Capitalism quotes on record. Nazis and Communists allied to divide Europe before Hitler turned on his Communist allies. The oft cited 20,000,000 dead includes 1,500,000
Jews that had zero to do with the Soviet War effort. Moreover this includes Hiwis and people who fought for the Nazis and were executed by Stalin. It is also not a virtue to get your own people killed by incompetence. Furthermore without Western aid the Soviets lose. Unlike the USA, UK and Germany they were incompetently fighting a single front war.
Who were the Hiwis and why did they fight for the Nazis has been reduced by some as simple Jooo haters. This does explain some cases, but the brutal crimes perpetrated by commies is responsible for the rest.
Nazism is a disgusting vile ideology. However, every single crime and criticism of Nazism is also applicable to Communism and to its corollary Islamo communism.
FYI Duncy when you talk of crimes committed by commies against Muslims you are in comedy mode. An apologist for a system that placed Muslims on cattle cars to Siberia to die talking about
Pseudostinians is comedic. If you think your 70% number is high try 90% of Jews killed in Poland and the Batic areas. Jews do not run around shooting school kids in the back or tossing seniors in wheel chairs off ocean liners.
The only good Marxism is that of the Marx Brothers. Chico Marx is greater philosopher than Karl. Get you tootsie fruitsie Ice Cream.

US Dennies Visas to Israeli Scientists
The idiotic Obama Administration has reached another low. The USA is now blocking Visas for Isreali Scientists working at Dimona seeking to further their education. The Obama administration
seems intent on catering to far leftists.
November is payback time.
Democrats who ran with Obama need to pay the price.

Bruce Springsteen
This is an excellent example of a leftist self centered boor who the media portrays as a man of the people.
In general artists should just perform their craft as beyond their trade they are normally dullards and imbeciles. More often like Harold Pinter their political views are laughable to the level of cartoon network fare.
I personally stopped listening to his music after the 41 shots idiocy. The police in a tragic accident while looking for a rapist shot an illegal African Immigrant who misunderstood the situation or knowingly disobeyed an order from law enforcement to stop and produce ID. The situation was a tragic accident, and no real critic in their right mind thinks NYPD officers have nothing better to do with their time than to shoot street vendors.
In his arrogance as a celebrity, he is less obnoxious than Streisand whose music causes me to leave a room. It used to be funny, but when I lived with a socialite she used to brag of my distant blood ties to the boorish simpleton.
Of course Spingsteen has campaigned for Obama and deludes himself that he has moral vision.
Obviously his exwife whom he cheated on with a far less attractive no talented back up singer
would disagree. Starting an affair with a subordinate would get the average folk canned at work.
He did marry this woman to his credit. However, he does not respect her either as he was named
in a divorce suit for cheating with another mans wife.
Sorry, but this is another example of the far left saying do as I say not as I do.
On a different note it is time for the government to close the door on big education's abuse of our immigration system. Many of these students do not even bother to show up at the school they were supposed to attend. Many of these schools are second rate language training programs.
We predicted that Obama would throw pork to his University Bolshevik constituency. However,
costs of higher education are every bit out of control as obscene health care costs.

Just stupid
You are a diplomat from Qatar and you have been caught smoking in the bathroom of a plane .
1) Ask for a beer and a copy of Playboy to go with your cigarette?
2) Apologize and resume flying
3) Blame Phillip Morris
4) Make a joke about shoe bombing.
If you answered 4 you are officially an idiot. This diplomat who is very low ranking should be tossed out of the country. Terrorism is no longer a laughing matter.

Commies want to ban coal
Of course with the latest mine accident commies like the Duck are all for pressing the buttons on restricting coal. Of course sane people want reasonable work place safety rules and pollution standards. This is not the goal of the Marxist left.
The goal of the Marxist left is to do anything to keep Oil Prices high and prop up Hugo. Hugo has persecuted all of the business and professional class so now it is a one trick pony.
The USA has abundant coal supplies and should utilize this resource. The technology to burn coal cleaner today exists. We get decent union jobs for Americans and less money for Narco Terrorists in Caracas and our friends the Saudis.
Now if communists looked at repeated deadly applications of their madness with the same level of scrutiny they want to subject the Coal Industry to they would have to ban themselves as inimical to human life.

Winters some basic rules
If you want to be Captain Spaulding or any other fictional person this is fine. However impersonating blogers like Mac or Dr Yeagley it ruins the integrity of the site. I appreciate satire and one liners with the best however there are limits.
Tiki Barber Low Life and Clown
Older readers who read this blog know I am a fan of the Giants. One player has managed to annoy the fans every time he is in the news. Tiki Barber played the media for fools with the great guy bit.
His fumbling problems cost the Giants two whole seasons. Jim Fassel's refusal to deal with the problem and mistreatment of Ron Dayne cost him his career.
Tiki would do his crying bit on the sidelines week after week. The media ate it up as he blamed everyone around him and claimed "I am trying". Week after week the media kept pushing the Tiki tears bit and the fans started to get sick of it.
Of course the new coach let Tiki know if the fumbling continued he was out. Tiki largely solved the problems and had much better season. He responded to his coach by announcing he was retired in the middle of the season creating a distraction. He then joined the media and stabbed his former coach and QB in the back. Of course once this disgrace was gone the Giants won the Superbowl.
The fans have not forgiven him. He was loudly booed in a recent appearance in Giants Stadium.
His media pals did the poor Tiki bit. Instead he should have apologized for acting like a jerk to those fans. His media career died as America found out what Giant fans knew earlier Tiki is a self centered jerk. He is not charming like Michael Strahan or modest like Phil Simms or Merlin Olsen. He isn't even particularly knowledgeable like Chris Collinsworth, Dan Dierdorf or Ron Jaworski. About the only thing nice we can say is he is more eloquent than Troy Aikman who needs to get off TV.
Tiki abandoned his model wife while she was eight months pregnant for a skank that does not even look as good as his wife. He is lower than John Edwards and really needs to disappear. Tiki
being Tiki will cry and blame everyone else and his media buddies will try to put some spin on this.
Been there done that.

Taking a break from the political to discuss other topics
I will be continuing to discuss Through the Howling Wilderness over the next few days. I also will be discussing the history of the Oneida and the shameful way America treated its allies. I have read
several accounts of the Battle of Oriskany. Most of them deal with the Oneidas tangentially. They were key participants in the battle.
I will be doing some posts on Forgotten Allies by Glatthaar and Martin at some point. I will also be picking up the biography of Joseph Brandt and a book or two on the French and Indian War.

Amazing but Short Book
Through a Howling Wilderness is a short brisk journey into Benedict Arnold's invasion of Canada via Maine. Arnold was a man of brilliance and courage who unfortunately betrayed his country. In this day and age he would probably run for Senator in MA where this seems to have helped Gomer
Kerry.
The march through Maine is part of my readings on Maine history. I plan on traveling the route of
Arnold along the Kennebec River into Quebec City and the Plains of Abraham where the fate of Canada was decided.

The Call Of Spring
I still have the call of spring in my blood from my time in Northern Vermont. On the first week of spring one takes their car out early into the morning into the unknown. I gather my LT jersey and a box of CDS and hit the road. The car drifts seamlessly across the landscape as exotic scenery passes by.
I can not grasp why but the urge to do this again has hit me strongly. Unfortunately, my nephew needs my car and I will have to settle for less. It has been five years since I went on vacation and my spirit could use some R&R.
I was planning to see route 210 in Maine, but by the time my nephew's classes are over it will be tourist season. I understand the economy is tough and he needs my car more than I do. I miss the days of taking out the car across the North seeking the unknown.
My passport should be there by then but the moment will have passed. It is more important to be a good relative. I will have to settle for adventure closer to home. I will be joining the Guyanese Church trip to Atlantic City. However, that is not exactly my type of fun as I enjoyed the old Atlantic City better. I miss the huge planters Peanut Shop and the amusement arcade and small aquariums.
