About a week ago, some Coastie on Cape Cod shot two female Coasties and a cop at condo complex, killing one of the females. People were advised to “shelter in place”, while the perpetrator was on the loose. He was taken, uninjured unfortunately, and faces mental evaluation. In this case it really was “workplace violence”. He had a thing for one the females. BTW, there are a lot of retired military on the Upper (western) Cape, and a lot of them are gun owners, so don’t go all unarmed sheeple on me. (Upper Cape, because old navigational charts were “west up”, hence Maine was “Down East”.)
What makes you assume that I would ‘ go all unarmed sheeple ‘ on you? Hell I live in a NYC burb and there are not as many unarmed sheeple here as one might think.
BTW another report has the guy in possession of a number of bombs.....wonder what that's all about?
Can you be clearer on how the term “down east” came into use.
I had a wonderful romance in our New Jersey High School with a girl who preferred ‘Going Down Maine” to me. She is still in Maine, I am in Florida, happy but still wondering!
Really?
Never could understand that strange expression.
