South Dennis. Take exit 9A. Head south on Rt. 134 about two miles to Route 28. Look across the intersection to your left and there's Kream 'N Kone.

Heed the words of The Cod. Especially the exit notes for 9B.

So sayeth The Cod....

FYI:
Some Cape radar hot spots.
Route 28 southbound after the Otis rotary from the rotary to the Brick Kiln Road exit. They hide on the left. It's spotty but they are there when you least expect it.
Route 6 eastbound about 1 mile past exit 6 they hide on the right behind some bushes at the top of the hill.
About 1 mile past that spot there is a rest area. They hide on the right behind some bushes.
Route 6 eastbound on the long straight stretch just past exit 8. They hide in various spots on the left and sometimes, but rarely another half a mile up on the right about 100 feet after you go over Bass River.
Route 6 anywhere from the Orleans rotary to Provincetown. The speed limits are 40 and 45 mph. The Eastham, Wellfleet and Truro Police Depts. have a gold mine here. They are all over the place. Do not go more than 5 mph over the limit here. There have been so many horrific accidents here over the years and they lowered the speed limits and patrol religiously. It has helped tremendously with the accidents because of their diligence.


At exit 9A you are automatically directed onto Route 134 south. This is the only clover leaf on Cape Cod. Fortunately it’s only a mile from my home so I get to hone my right handed driving skills on it regularly. For some fun take exit 9B at a brisk pace, merge onto Rt. 134 north and stay in the right lane getting on the big curved on ramp at warp speed to Rt. 6 west, stay in the right lane, go under the bridge with the windows open and hear the supercharger whine and take the exit ramp at speed and end up on Rt. 134 south where you were headed anyway. If there’s no traffic in front of you this little detour is a nice g-force kick in the pants

I think I now know where to burn off those extra miles before I hand it in for an oil change! Much better than the fresh pond traffic circle.

Keep your windows up. The air is heavy with nitrous fumes.

I ran across this piece by John Cleese that, although somewaht dated, it still funny as hell. Stop me if you've seen it before...

Other Axis of Evil Wannabes

By John Cleese

Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil", Libya,
China, and Syria today announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as
Evil", which they said would be more evil than that stupid
Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of
the Union address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as
having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are Just as
Evil...in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
"Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil...we're the
best."

Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded,
although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil.
"They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"An Axis can't have more than three countries", explained Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II
you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So, you can only have
three, and a secret handshake. Ours is wickedly cool."

International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as
within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations
rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical
chairs.

Cuba, Sudan and Serbia said they had formed the "Axis of Somewhat Evil",
forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the "Axis of
Occasionally Evil", while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the
"Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally Disagreeable".

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling
up...Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the
"Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host
the Olympics".

Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations That Are
Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About
America," while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the "Axis
of Countries That Should Be Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick."

"That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do", said
Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making
fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axis, although he
rejected the establishment of the "Axis of Countries Whose Names End in
Guay", accusing one of its members of filing a false application.
Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but
privately, world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.

This really p*ss*s me off. They'll give that scum bag pr*ck ex preist Geoghan a funeral but not a gay man? What a bunch of sh*t heads.

[MaxaMini]

As a long standing "Mackerel Snapper" and a survivor of ten years of parochial school I must agree.

A man goes to his Catholic Church and asks about a funeral service for his now deceased dog.
" We don't hold funerals for pets!" the priest answers.
The man goes on to ask where he might go for help in the arrangements.
"You might try the Baptist down the block" he is told.
The man thanks him and adds. "I would like to make a contribution to the minister for the service. Do you think $10,000 would be sufficient?"
"Well why didn't you tell me the dog was Catholic? says the priest.

Devout agnostic here I do not have enough faith to be an atheist
all faiths seem to be very heavy in the hypocrisy game... with the possible exception of the Unitarians where the prime tenant of faith seems to be a belief that deep down there just might be a god and she might care... but they do not seem to be very in your face about it

...and this just in... The DaVinci Code is a work of fiction..!

Got my free new windscreen installed. The markings on it are different, it still says MINI and it's still a Sekurit by St Gobain, but the other numbering etc is different, hopefully this newer version is better than the last. Man, that old one was sooooooooooo pitted, I'd forgotten what clear glass looks like (or rather doesn't look like, so to speak). I'm afraid to turn on my wipers, I don't want to muss it up, it's still all shiny and perfect. And they even swapped my VT inspection sticker from the old glass to the new one, which is handy.

Oh, and while I'm thinking of it;

GO CATS! WOO-HOO!

Sorry, we're just a little excited in these parts 'bout beating 'Cuse. We're not exactly Duke up here. It amuses me to think of the millions of people whose tourney brackets we just totally F'd up...
