When I was talking about Natick Mass the other day and the MG
raking the reviewing stand incident, they are sooo left coast that
they complained that the USAF fighters, bombers etc were orbiting
around the town on the 4th of July waiting for their que to head into
Boston (17 miles away) for the end of the 1812 Overture played
by the Boston Pops at the Esplinard on the Charles river every year!
