A little something to brighten your day. Oh, and a very Happy Easter to all. And to residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts - a very happy Patriots Day holiday on Monday. And good luck to all the Boston Marathon runners.
BOON ISLAND SECEDES FROM THE NATION
(From SeacoastNH.com)
"Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
I'm going to eat some worms."
Poor Boon Island, the home of Maine's tallest
lighthouse; it's been abandoned by the Coast Guard,
unsupported by the state and shunted back and forth
between unloving towns of Kittery and York Maine.
At last it has been adopted and leased by the American Lighthouse Foundation.
Recently this wild and crazy group created the sovereign
Republic of Boon Island. We were there for the historic
moment, taking pix and eating the free sandwiches.
You too can become a citizen - or even the President.
Then you can levy taxes, declare war and have your own intern.
