MARTIE'S CLIPPER SHIP What started out as an abbreviation of "Web Log" grew up to be the notorious "Blog".  Like its cousin, Rumor, its favorite food is Opinion, and Fact often is nowhere to be seen when Blog is around.  Wouldn't it be better to call such writing "Tattle"?  That's an acronym for "Truth According To The Log Editor".  Anyway, this blog brings you things the way I see them.  Like a clipper ship sailing from port to port and bringing mail and news and anything else you can get onboard, this blog tries to bring to all of you any local news that might interest you or affect your vacation  (like when Wellfleet closed the boat launching ramp for repairs in 2005, or that our end of the Cape Rail Trail is closed to bikers and walkers until next spring).  There's also information you might need, like local dial up numbers for your laptops and links to newspapers around the country.  And pictures of the Cape just to get you wishing you were already here, together with what to do if you ARE here and your refrigerator dies.  Please take a look; it's still under construction, and probably always will be, because life changes with every breath we take.  Read it like a magazine, or refer to it as a guide.   There's some downright useful information and some fun stuff, too!    Just click here:         Martie's Clipper Ship (Note:  For anyone who may have bookmarked the blog, this is a new address.  In its former location, the blog was succeptible to problems caused by Windows XP security upgrades.)
