How come, at various times, depending upon the tone of your text, I see one or two more "!"s after Carpe erratum!! Is it my imagination?

well, anyone from New York or Ct, or Vermont, or whererever, when they say I'm going to the cape, they are talking about the lower more easterly cape.

Granted Cape Ann is a great place and a great habitat for many species of birds and water fowl...not to mention the historic homes and communities, but we're getting the larger crowds and being destroyed faster than "Ann" So...there!

Yes. It is your imagination.

True. We tend not to talk about ourselves. Keeps us from getting large crowds and being destroyed.
