About 9:15 p.m. firefighters were on the move again to 10A Bradford Street where flames were lapping up the side of a cottage dangerously close to a larger house. Another aggressive attack quickly doused the flames. (Story and photos by Tim Caldwell). Editors note: As the situation in Provincetown appears, unfortunately, to be escalating I want to make one point clear. Cape Wide News is working very closely with local authorities to INFORM not alarm the public. An informed and vigilant public may be the town's best chance of catching this perpetrator before someone gets hurt or worse-TC. Correction: Staph infection in Sandwich is not MRSASANDWICH - Cape Wide News has learned a male student at a Sandwich school has come down with a staph infection. However, Interim Principal Jeffrey Dees at the Oak Ridge School here on Quaker Meetinghouse Road told WQRC News it was not the MRSA "superbug" that has been making national news lately.
Our Troops Must Leave Iraq
As for the Courics, Williams, whatever is on ABC and the dregs from cable. Go to hell you spineless worms. You're worthless. Yes, indeed, bring the troops home, and send them to D.C. –to evict these bastards. (since voting won't do it anymore) .
No simple fix for Pungo road war
There's a bit of road rage in Pungo, and it needs to stop before somebody dies. Cyclists who have experienced a euphoric, fast spin along 30 miles of farmland and backwoods — but endured harassment and honking from drivers — cannot understand why drivers won't yield some space on the road. Motorists who have driven a winding road behind a pack of 30 cyclists, waiting for a chance to pass safely and watching as the two-wheelers blow past a stop sign, can't fathom why cyclists can't just hop on a sidewalk and leave the road to vehicles. The standoff is nothing new in cities across the country. Vitriol has increasingly replaced civility between drivers and cyclists on the roads of San Francisco, Seattle, New York City and even Vail, Colo. But in Pungo, still the safest place for Beach cyclists to ride 20 or 50 miles, there's no room on the roads for rudeness.
Mother Earth Mother Board
Over the course of two months, photographer Alex Tehrani and I hit six countries and four continents trying to get a grip on this longest, fastest, mother of all wires. I took a GPS receiver with me so that I could have at least a general idea of where the hell we were. It gave me the above reading in front of a Chinese temple around the corner from the Shangri-La Hotel in Penang, Malaysia, which was only one of 100 peculiar spots around the globe where I suddenly pulled up short and asked myself, "What the hell am I doing here?" You might well ask yourself the same question before diving into an article as long as this one. The answer is that we all depend heavily on wires, but we hardly ever think about them. Before learning about FLAG, I knew that data packets could get from America to Asia or the Middle East, but I had no idea how.
