Re: Boston, I love that dirty water...

Here's the kicker: The former Governor of Massachusetts, William Weld is maybe running against Senator Hillary Clinton in NY State. Wikipedia says he's running for Governor. He came from Smithtown! Out on the isle of Long! His family owned the now Suffolk County Blydenburgh Park on the lake in Smithtown I used to camp by with Explorer Post 222 of Lake Grove (we used to meet in the Wing Street School, since renamed). It was then called, The Weld Estate, (recently found with West Nile virus sites, a friend lives on it watching it and doing some archaeology stuff for the County. His Dad worked in Smithtown Highway for many years got sick of plowing snow, retired to Florida). Governor Weld stepped down from office under President William Clinton to be the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, thought to be a no-brain nomination. Senate up and balked and bawled. Weld no longer Republican Governor, now not Democrat President Ambassador to Mexico. No no no we can't have that! So he works too, in NYC (as does Prez Clinton him in Harlem, Weld on Wall St.?) They donated the Weld Estate I think to Suffolk County, I think more likely, maybe taxes. He's under investigation for being on the board/running a high-priced vocational school, like $29,000 a year gets you a good tech job in St. Louis, Missouri. Bologna! It was a little water-powered industrial mill once, run by Blydenburghs? I took out a rowboat there once. My former alumni archaeology employer had their archaeology lab there after the Social Science Building opened at Stony Brook University, moving the Anthropology Dept. out of Graduate Chemistry and they weren't given any room for Long Island Archaeology I think.
