Provincetown, MA
image

Provincetown is the gayest place in the world. There is also tasty food.

image

I feel bad for all the families on vacation that must have thought it was not so queer.

I am glad we aren't staying here. Everything is tourist priced. (e:matthew) ordered scallops for like 17 bucks.

image

Terry and I got the lunch special for 7.95 which was really bad. White bread, mayonaisse, white fish and canned clam chowder. Yuck. Total: 43.00 for not so tasty food.

It was called the mayflower family diner on commercial street. This town is definately a capitalist mecca.

Everybody in Provincetown seems into the Atkins [inlink]paul,519[/inlink] diet. Notice this sign from a soda-pop machine.

Warmes Wasser
The water is very warm on the bay sidde of the cape. We got to see hermit crabs and little regular crabs all over the place. The water is that perfect mix of shallow and warm, like on the gulf of Mexico. I assume the other side will be colder.

We were wondering who lives here year round and how much a home costs. I would move here for sure, at least for summers. The only problem is there are really somany tourists, including us.

We Arrive in Cape Cod
We are offcially on the cape after crossing a big iron bridge. The traffic leaving the island is insanee. It looks like a 4 mile long traffic jam. I would be so mad if I lived in one of these tourist areas.

Last night we met the laundromat woman, who came from Martha's Vineyard. She said she never goes back cause it's to hard with all the tourists.
That must be so strange to have you hometown tranformed into a tourist trap. I bet the people in Sedona, AZ feel the same.

On another note, I am having this crazy mobileexperience right now where I am mediating the capture of a silverfish in my bathroom at home over IM while traveling at 70 mph across cape code.

My brother (e:mike) is trying to battle it. I suggested a glass and a piece of paper to cover to open end. He is taking more drastic measures I believe.

His away message now says:
WalBumbalo: [AWAY] in the battle of my life with a silverfish in the bathtub, only one of us is coming out of there alive....probably the bug. Now all I need is some alcohol, a lighter, and a fuse......

I hope I see him again and that my house doesn't burn down!

I Need A Quick Cash Job
I am in desperate need of money so if any of you know of a nice PHP web job or something please send it my way. I need about $2000 and can program just about anything for the web, of course, including database intergration.

Right now I am working on making the journal community system click-install ready, so that anyone can use it for their own group. Does anyone know of an organization that would be interested in such a system and could perhaps pay me for support?

Cooking Up Plans
So, I went out to lunch with Josephine Anstey to discuss doing some 3D modelling work for her interactive Virtual Reality Drama The Trial the Trail

Here is my scratch pad with all the work I have to do. It reminds me of fall when I was very busy. I am also living off of macaroni and cheese again.
