No shit. Had great uncle in So. Wellfleet, he moved there in 1938. Was a plumber/caretaker of many properties on the Lower Cape (never understood that crap???). Anyway, being from NJ, we visited him for two weeks every summer growing up. My Dad was a wood shop teacher. He invited his buddy, another wood shop teacher, same school district, and his family to vacation with us in 1979. Needless to say, he was a big NJ surf fisherman, fell in love with the Cape, quit his job, built a house and moved his family there same year. My great uncle was a reknowned bass surf fisherman. He passed shortly after my mom in 2000. Anyway, the other teachers son and I have kept up over the years. There were only a few years I did not visit during my parents divorce, and at 19 I visited by motorcycle and camped. Again returned almost every year, until I finally pissed off his GF with my annual pilgrimages (apparently he drinks too much when I visit?!?). Last visit 2010. Last two years his parents snowbird at my house in Hernando Beach, and made their reservation for this Feb last week!!! Round world. Oh, BTW, one of my favorite GD songs is Stagger Lee! ;-D
