Well well well.  What’s that bumper sticker with a saying that goes something like, “Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill”?

Picture text I got from my bro, showing the fantastic progress my father has made on his turret- I mean lighthouse (through a screen window).

Okay so, if you have been a loyal reader of my blog, you will know that I totally made fun of my Dad for his Armageddon refurbishment efforts of the Hatchville Shipyard. Sure Dad and I don’t see eye to eye politically, but then again I’m just a young and insouciante naval officer, and can’t help but have lefty liberal leanings.

Falmouth water contaminated just switched over no sweat.

Yeah, I know Dad sucks at spelling. He can drive ships, fire cannons and fly planes, but look out if you ever needed a note to be brought into middle school. (PLEEZ EXKYOOZ MAYGEN FRUM KLAS, SHEE HAZ UH DOKTIZ APPOINTMINT TODAE).  I’m not kidding about those notes, but that’s another tangent…

So I go to capecodonline.com and check out the main headline. Sure enough- the state has ordered Falmouth residents to boil their water due to elevated levels of E.coli discovered in the water. Nice.

I’d like to think that I have no problem owning up to the times when I am wrong.  Being from a big family tends to keep your ego in check, or at least allows your sense of importance to be routinely knock the ground by your capable siblings.

So with that said:

Dad, you were right. I was wrong.
