The Red Necks Be A Coming, oups, that's the Red Coats

Our heroes wander through Logan airport to the bag pick em up place and Clem hires a feller to fetch theys stuff out to the street where Joe Gomes is gonna pick em up. Clem is a good tipper and gives the feller a ten-doller bill. Joe sees the boys towering over other folks at the street pick up likes theys was Boston Celtic players and honks the horn of his new blue Fod Expedition truk. They shake hands and pile in for the ride to theys hotel. Bubba gives Joe the sack of vittles. Joe ls gonna fling them out the winder into the river as soon as he can get shut of the boys.

The ride to the Long Wharf Marriott Hotel is interesting as there is lots of new construction and the roadways and ramps change location on a regular basis. "The Big Dig" (Largest Urban Highway project in the nation, Bubba tells Clem and Joe, 'member he is reel histery smart) which includes the New 3rd Harbor Tunnel, is in full swing in downtown Baasten. Bubba axes Joe where the old South Church what Paul Bunyon made famous with the three if by land two ifin by sea thing on that mid afternoon ride, is at. Bubba 'members all the names and places in 'merican history. Joe just shakes his head and says he will take them there tomorrow morning. Bubba is a tickled that hes gonna get to see a part of 'merican histery first hand. He wishes old lady Mary Clark, his third grade teacher could see him now. She learnt him to reed the fourth time he was in her 3rd grade class he mastered the goesintos the 3 round of 3rd grade. She liked him the most cause he was the onlyst kid she had in 3rd grade 6 times.

Joe has a bidness meeting that night and he can't ate with the boys. He says that he will pick em up at three-quarters past a seven in the morning for a tour of Baasten. Bubba and Clem is on theys own fer supper. Bubba, is his infinite wisdom, rings up Barbara, the cute yankee woman, and axes her to come over to theys hotel and have supper wid them. She is all excited cause she done took a serious shine to Bubba down in the Delta when theys were there with Captain Tom Rake. Clem is a feeling fancy tonight after his shower and clean underbritches and fresh smellem on, so he axs Barbara to recommend a Eyetalian joint for supper. She says the Italian part of Baasten is called the North End and is full of good eateries and they should go there. Bubba is just glad to see her again and is holding her hand down to the cab pick up place. Clem hails em a cab. They head off and find em a quaint little joint with a name Bubba can't say. Clem knows theys in trouble when he reeds the menue, he ain't never seen such words in all jis life. Him and Bubba ain't got a clue what to order so he does the smart thang and axs Barbara to order for everyone. She is delighted to order Bruchetta Con Pomodoro to start with then Fedelini Aglio-olio and some Risotto Alla Milanese. They have all this great food and Bubba orders a jug of Mogan David wine to go with it. Clem was a telling Barbara how much Bubba hates them guppy like anchovy fish on a pitza when she broke out a laughing. Bubba axs her what's finny and she says you ate anchovys in the Fedelini Aglio-olio. Damn, Bubba laments, he wished she didn't tell him that.

Well Joe picks em up at half past early and theys have a quick breakfast of a half dozen fried eggs each and a pile of crisp bacon and an English muffin, you know that's them round bread that McDonalds puts on theys Egg McNuthings. Bubba knows better than to axe for biscuits and grave here in Baaston, he is a having a reel hard time listening to them Baastenonians talk. Baasten is in 'merica so he wonders why the people here don't talk 'merican.

Breakfast be done so theys load up in Joe's new blue truk and head off to splore Lexington and Concord. Bubba wonders why theys going to Kentucky. It twere here where Robert W Lee shot dead the first red neck, sorry, red coat who wanted to keep the good guys from being free. Clem wondered what kinda gun it twere since they said it twere the shot heard round the world. Bubba, always thanking about feed, wonders where all the grapes is at, it is a called Concord. Theys head back toward Baasten to see the Old Church, and Joe tells Bubba it was Paul Revere on that midnight ride and it was called the North Church. Anyhows it twas a famous place in 'merican history and everyone enjoyed the visit.

Bubba axes Joe to fetch em to the place where that band of them injuns throwed all the coffee in the ocean, the Baasten Coffee Party. Bubba axs if you can dive there and get coffee cans? Joe just wonders how this feller can even get his own britches on in the morning, much less tie his boots.
