Apparently, profanity is no longer considered socially offensive language. It's everywhere. This departure from once revered tenets of communication seems to be gaining popularity among politicians, celebrities and media platforms. A sure tactic for gaining public notoriety, undignified language, submits to the old adage of "bad publicity is better than no publicity." While curse words may have a shock value to some, others may embrace the pop culture trend of vulgarity as an insignificant and meaningful emphasis on point. As society evolves so does decorum; so it seems. FTW or WTF, it's here to stay.

Presidential Motorcade Sighted in Chilmark
Woohoo!!! Having tired of sharing my bedroom with carpenter ants over the last three weeks, the exterminator kicked us out of the house for a couple of hours today. I dropped the blogson at Alley's General Store to hang out with Coco, and continued up island to Aquinnah.
On the way back, I stopped in Menemsha.
Knowing the First Family was staying off of South Road, I took that route home and was the first car stopped by the Chilmark Police about 500 yards before Blue Heron Farm. As the line of traffic grew behind me, I knew the motorcade must be approaching. Sure 'nuff. I took this video, but cowered a bit with the policeman giving the the evil eye.
The only political statement I notice throughout the day's journey was this frequent signage peppering South Road.
