Board: [WWIVnet] General Chat Subject: Re: Marriage From: Jimmy Mac #1 @707 To: Jahmas #29 @707 Date: Sun Jul 05, 2026 12:52 J> Yesterday my wife and I drove out to Barnstable Village on Cape Cod to J> enjoy the local 4th of July Parade. Parking is an ordeal so I woke the J> wife at 6am so she could have her morning coffee and wake up time. We J> would leave the house about 8 to just travel a few miles and park just J> outside the village and hike in. Not a big trek, perhaps 10 minutes on J> foot. Well when we started walking, my wife says that she is still in J> wake up mode, she needs to have some quiet while getting acclimated and J> basically implied that I was not to speak :O I respected her AM wishes J> and after about five minutes she broke the silence and said, "How long J> are you growing your hair?" I looked at her directly and said something J> like, "I thought you wanted me to be quiet!" And then I got that "fuck J> you" look from her. Overall, it was a great parade! Kind of like J> Mayberry. We were up on a hill on the front lawn of the courthouse, J> under the shade of a giant tree, overlooking Main St. USA. Everything J> was perfect! I've been there! Must have been a nice day. Fortunately for us, the city I live in holds a jubilee at the community center l iterally three short blocks away. Foods, live music, tons of games and events for the kids, and even a full (limited) bar. I didn't want to go, but Julie talked me into it, amd as soon as the cuntry music sweill started blaring from a radio station booth near the food trucks, I nearly bolted but we were able to escape that assault on our senses and relaxed to a pretty good general 80's rockcover band .. <--> The Blood Stone BBS - Telnet & HTTP www.bsbbs.com <--> \/ WWIVnet Node 1@707 - Sonoma County California \/ .
