They are awesome! Just lost a bunch of people to various crimes. so they’re trying to get the word out using video.  maybe that got their attention.

Wow. 
I hope it changes some minds.

You Belong With Me

You Belong With Me

Songwriters: Liz Rose & Taylor Allison Swift
Sung by Taylor Swift
You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, she’s upset
She’s going off about something that you said
‘Cause she doesn’t get your humor like I do
I’m in the room, it’s a typical Tuesday night
I’m listening to the kind of music she doesn’t like
And she’ll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She’s Cheer Captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can’t you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn’t this easy?
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you’re fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She’s Cheer Captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I’m the one who makes you laugh when you know you’re ’bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me ’bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it’s with me
Can’t you see that I’m the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can’t you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me

Good morning! 63 sunny – great for working outside!  Off to RI to get supplies.  Hope you have a satisfying Saturday!

9:06am Phil
You too. Hoping to get lots more done in my yard.

8:01pm
Looked like you got lots done out back.  Such a stud you are, doing all that!  I had a crazy day – drove to Providence and back, hauled supplies around for our event, then took Mom to a housewarming, then to Gloucester again for another amazing dinner at the Rudder.  That place restores my soul!
