Hmmm...let me try to unravel this

So is it just the town trying to eliminate parking to shut the place down - a la Middletown with the Clambake Club. That still makes it a de facto closure -

I dunno, somebody help the dizzy old bastard out here

I'm not that familiar with the most recent particulars, I guess...

You know, if you had a pro bono guy to do the lawyering, I think a lawsuit against the Town of Bore-ington would be in order if it hasn't already been done.

God, the idiots in that town are unbearably bourgeois - classic old-line Republican types. Guess they just don't want to allow seemy fishing people there - unless, of course, they're using a long wand.

I'm telling ya, biggest group of pretentious hypocrites I've ever known in my dealings with them - completely dry town, more clinical closet alcoholics than any other place in the state

	"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.
