ON A CLEAR DAY

                              I SAT IN THE LIFE GUARD'S CHAIR AT 7PM AND WAITED FOR THE SUNSET.  THLIFE GUARDS LEAVE AT 5 OR 6.  SOON THERE WILL BE NONE BECAUSE THEY HEAD BACK TO COLLEGE NEXT WEEK.  IT WAS VERY CLEAR AND FRESH AND VERY  STILL.  A FEW PEOPLE WERE SWIMMING IN THE CALM WATER.  FISHERMEN AND A WOMEN WERE ON THE ROCKS TRYING TO CATCH A FISH IN THE HIGH TIDE.                 
              I WAVED AT A HELICOPTER FLYING TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD.  THE PRESIDENT IS VACATIOING THERE WHILE TRIPOLI IS BEING BOMBED BY NATO AND THE REBELS ARE TRYING TO TAKE CONTROL.  GADAPHI IS IN HIDING OR HAS DISAPPEARED A LA OSAMA BIN LADEN.  GADAPHI'S SON REPUTEE TO BE CAPTURED APPEARED AT THE PRESS HOTEL TO SHOW HE WAS STILL ALIVE AND VOWING TO WIN.  THE US HAS SUPPLIED DRONES TO PINPOINT THE GOVERNMENT FORCES.
                      THANK HEAVENS THE PRESIDENT HAS GOOD WEATHER ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD.  OVERTAKING A CRAZED DICTATOR IS NOT AN EASY PROPOSITION.  THE PRESIDENT ADVISED HIM TO GIVE UP TO AVOID FURTHER DESTRUCTION OF TRIPOLI.  THE OTHER NIGHT THE PRESIDENT WENT TO A PARTY FUNDRAISER AT A PROFESSOR'S HOUSE IN OAK BLUFFS.  IT LOOKED LIKE A SIMPLE LITTLE CAPE COD HOUSE.   IT WAS VERY HOT SO HOPEFULLY THE PROFESSOR HAS AC. 

MARTHA'S VINEYARD

                     TODAY I WENT TO TOWN TO THE BANK AND THE LIBRARY.  IT WAS GREAT WALKING IN THE FRESH AIR.  THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH WAS PREPARING FOR LOBSTER ROLLS ON THE LAWN AT 5P.M..  I WENT HOME INSTEAD.  I DID GO TO THE MUSEUM ON THE GREENS' BOXWOOD GARDEN.  THE ROSES WERE VERY PINK AND BLOOMING.  THE YELLOW MUMS HAD BLUE BACHELOR BUTTONS WITH THEM.  ANYWAY IT WAS A PPERFECT NEW ENGLAND DDAY AS I PASSED THE CONGREGARTIONAL CHURCH WITH A PAUL REVERE BELL AND KATHERINE LEE BATES THE AUTHOR OF AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL AS A FORMER PASTOR.
