. And of course Provincetown, oooo don't go down there[]

Okay I know this is is bad taste, but did you hear about the guy who visited Provincetown? He dropped his wallet and kicked it all the way home.

BTW, President Obama is in! I'm so happy, I was crying. As for Baltimore, many pronounce it Bawlmore. It's weird in Berlin, NH, they pronounce it BER-lin and in Lebanon it's Lebanin, and in Charlotte Vermont it's called Char-Lot. Not Indian, but still interesting.

Things I'll never forget were i was when they happened. John Lennon, John Henry Bonham, the birth of the babygirl, two Space Shuttle fubar's, 9/11, and now the swearing in of the first black President. A monumentally momentous occasion. A truely wonderful day!

Within 5 miles I have Moxahala, Shawnee and Saltillo, and here in town we have Oxawoosie Creek. Most people around here say Moxie instead of Moxahala (hayla), Shawnee is an easy one, and Oxawoosie Creek is now called sulphur creek, as the mining destroyed it.
