Summer, I’m sorry I doubted you. I knew that you would come eventually. And with this lovely weather I hear that you are bringing a quite special political family with you. The island is such a buzz, even the shops are preparing early for an Obama-rama.
There’s hardly a day that goes by where I don’t here some new tidbit about the first family’s vacation at the end of August. First they were going to rent a house in Oak Bluffs near the police barracks (smart idea!), and now they are renting out a farm in Chilmark for a mere $32,000/week. That sounds like tax dollars well-spent!
When the Clintons came to Martha’s Vineyard, they always stayed at a friend’s house, more often than not that of Robert McNamara, who recently passed (and was almost pushed off a ferry by a man angry about Vietnam). Cost: free!
