       Well, what to do today.  It's the 400th anniversary of the founding of Ville de Quebec up there north of here in Canada, and is the 21st birthday of a friend of mine on the Vineyard, Martha's Vineyard, at the Oak Bluffs.  And I'm here in Swansea.  OB is a long way to go and Quebec City, or Ville Quebec is even further.  And i'm sitting here in my library, the air conditioner is blowing on me and it's cool, im facing east, or at least towards the river which is easterly of here.

     I have enough money and a car to get to the boat, get to the vineyard and then get back here.  Where to stay at night?  Well, I don't know, and the last boat leaves out of there at 8pm back to new bedford.  things seem complicated and confusing.  to go all the way to the vineyard for a few hours and come back in the same day.  what a mad rush.  but then i'll have gone on a boat ride, gotten out of here and gone somewhere for the day. will cost me about a hundred dollars for the day.  if i take the 130pm boat then i get to vineyard haven at about 230pm.  schedule says 225pm.   then i can go see a few accounts we have a the vineyard haven.  my dad more has the accounts at the vh, i think the town's name is tisbury.  my accounts are in edgartown.  that's a far ride from tisbury, but it's where i'm headquartered in.  is also the shire town for duke's county.  i don't have any accounts in bristol.  i do have accounts in plymouth.  and in barnstable i dont have any accounts as far as i know.  i dont have any accounts in boston either, i think that the suffolk county is headquartered in boston.  and taunton i dont have any accounts in either as this is the shire town of the bristol county in massachusetts where i'm from.  and then there are branch shire towns such as fall river, new bedford, brockton.  i have an account in new bedford but none in fall river or brockton.  keeping track of these accounts is difficult enough for me never mind even getting and keeping new ones, and making a profit from the accounts, this is more the true language of me, whatever true is.  I can go so I mind as well go.  And not even call, just go there.  maybe see you, maybe not, but in any case i get to the vineyard which i really need to because i have quite a few accounts there for a very long time.

     What to do today.  It is the first day of July 2008, summertime.  I am thinking about visiting friends on Martha's Vineyard Island.    To take the New Bedford Fast Ferry is $72 plus gas to drive there.  And to take the Woods Hole ferry is $15 plus gas of 117 miles round trip driving at 17.5 miles per gallon and $4 per gallon this is $26.75 not including wear and tear on the car.   For the $0.52 allowed for business travel, and this is business travel as I have customers in Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, and various other places at Martha's Vineyard Island, 117*$0.52 = $60.84 plus $15 = $75.  I do make more money than the $75 for the travel, figure $100 and I do have this money.
