Just a reminder (sorry for the caps, Cap) - the Middletown Town Council meeting is tonight, Monday, June 7th at 7:00 PM at Middletown Town Hall on East Main Road (just down the road from the Job Lot Shopping Center).

Any support by showing up would be appreciated - there really is strength in numbers. Any Middletown residents are strongly urged to attend (I'm a Newporter, Upper Fifth Ward to be precise) and voice their objections to the parking ban on Tuckerman Avenue which will be a de facto closure of TWO public ROW's

. This is all as a result of a petition filed by an attorney for a couple of carpetbaggers who bought a piece of the waterfront.

So what, they bought a piece of the rock - hey, enjoy the view, have a good life, now leave us the hell alone, we ain't botherin' ya in the first place.

Hope to see some of ya there - maybe we can hit the Coddington for a short rinse afterwards and a brief war council between us rock-hoppers on future threats to access - keeping them open is a whole lot easier than trying to re-open them once they've been shut down. I might just be drinking sodas, depending on how long a day today is, or I might break down and have ONE bloooberry.

Anyway, please try to show if you can - I'll be more than happy to return the favor with this old carcass anywhere in RI if you'll let me know about it.

Thanks, men -

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
