I've read of lobsters being so plentiful in the old days, that they washed up on shore after a high wind. Kinda like surf clams sometimes do now. Chumming with lobsters seems extravagant now, but there were laws against abusing your servants by feeding them too much lobster!
I'd like to have my present medium setup and surfbag and circumnavigate the Cape on foot. Take a whole Season to do it, just walking and pitching and living off the land. The Cape was still relatively unspoiled when I was a kid. I'd have loved to have seen it untouched.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
