For your weekend enjoyment, explore all that Trail Mix has to offer. In our little corner of the "internets" we not only debate politics, we have some fun too. These links are always available on this page -- see the left sidebar under Trail Mix Links. But I wanted to give them an extra plug today:

Trail Mix is out to sea this weekend, enjoying the 25th Annual Schooner Festival in Gloucester, MA (Cape Ann). Last night we marveled at the Parade of Lights fireworks show over the harbor (almost upstaged by the brilliant moon rise). Today is the Mayor's Race for the Esperanto Cup, Ned Cameron Trophy and Betty Ramsey Trophy off Eastern Point.

Not even having to boil our water to ward off coliform bacteria (thought to be caused by a DAMaged beaver DAM) has DAMpened our holiday spirit. Here's wishing all Trail Mixers a welcome break.
