mik3capI'm very sad to hear about Senator Kennedy, and I wish the best for him.
I will say this though: it further affirms my belief that Cape Cod is a toxic place. The air, the water, the whole environment; I don't know what the particulars of the toxic quality are, I don't know what factors cause it. But it's just not a place where people should live long term. Terrible things happen to children there... breathing difficulty, disorders of all sorts, autism, infant mortality - these things happen there all too frequently.
Maybe it's the revenge of the native whale-hunting Americans who were wiped out. Maybe Lovecraft was right about Innsmouth...
