Hippie 
Huge thanks to Colleen Wall for putting this together, she picked the perfect Spiritual Rez song and captured the day nicely.
There’s only one problem, Barnstable is playing Falmouth, Maine. Kind of ironic they would be playing a team from the town of their biggest rival, but a different state huh? Either way, let’s hope Barnstable can beat Maine and take the Cape national!
P.S. We just checked in and Barnstable is winning 2-1 in bottom of the third.

CapeCodMommies.com – As you know Cape Cod Mommies is an Ambassador for Boogie Wipes which are Gentle Saline Wipes for Stuffy Noses!
Right now we are offering a Completely Free Program for Preschools/ Daycares! We are offering to send Boogie Wipes for Free every Quarter for the preschool to use and share with their children’s families. Having a Boogie Wipes “Save the Sleeve Station” in your classroom is very helpful!
So if you have a child in a Preschool or you teach/work at a Preschool Daycare or know someone who does, please use the link below to sign up for this Free Program. Or respond to this and I will help you get signed up – or bring samples to the school for them to see, touch and feel.
First off, I don’t read the Cape Cod Mommies blog everyday, someone emailed this to me. Seriously, I swear.
Anyway, this one got me thinking. If we can get this program for our pre schools, maybe we could have Boogie Wipes donated to all the town halls on Cape Cod so all the whiny people and Fun Police can wipe their noses when they come crying about train whistles, noisy music, or skydiving.
How great would it be if as soon as one of these busy bodies started complaining about the height of their neighbors fence, someone immediately walked over to them with a box of boogie wipes?
I started researching how to contact the CEO to see if they would be interested in my promotional program, and in what is possibly one of the greatest turn of events in the entire history of The Real Cape, a few minutes of research revealed one of the single most ironic and hilarious things I’ve ever come across in all of my days. The CEO of Boogie Wipes? Her name… is Julie PICKENS!
Sometimes the blogging gods just smile and send you down a gift that warms you right to the bones. Julie frickin’ Pickens.

CapeNews.net – An outdoor entertainment space, complete with a clamshell amphitheater, has been proposed for the former freezer building property next to the Cape Cod Canal.
Town officials began going over the proposal for 20 Freezer Road at a July 9 site plan review meeting. Artist’s conceptions of the project were provided to the Sandwich Economic Initiative Corporation at its meeting Monday.
The conceptions list a target date of summer 2015.
Mark Manning, a longtime Boston restaurateur, is the primary developer on the project, according to project spokesman Paul Cleary.
As currently conceived, the “Cape Cod Clam Shell” amphitheater would be placed on the western side of the 1.19-acre parcel that fronts the Sandwich Marina. A large bank of solar panels would be installed along the western edge.
Restaurants and bars with outdoor patios would be built on the southwestern and southern sides of the parcel on either side of a large entry plaza at the southwest corner.
A large grassy lawn would cover most of the rest of the parcel.
People sitting on the lawn looking at the amphitheater would see NRG Energy’s Canal Electric plant to the left and the Sagamore Bridge to the right.
Everyone remembers The Real Cape Fun Police test right? If it is wicked fucking awesome, then they will come out in force to stop it? Well this, my friends, could not be any more wicked fucking awesome. This would be the best thing to happen on Cape Cod since they started selling beer on Sundays so I am 197% sure the Fun Police will come out in droves to fight against this project.
When it comes time for these people to get permits, we need to rally the silent majority and fight the Fun Police like we’ve never fought them before! We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Sandwich, we shall fight on the Canal and Bay, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Peninsula, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the bridges, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the bogs;
We shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Peninsula or a large part of it were subjugated and starving for fun, then our brethren beyond the Canal, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, younger people, with all their power and might, step forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old grumpy bastards on Cape Cod.
P.S. Free T-Shirt to the first person to comment with the name of the person I just blatantly plagiarized.
P.P.S. How awesome is going to feel when this finally opens 18 years from now and it’s nothing but Michael Bolton and Barry Manilow concerts and shit?

wggb.com – Robert Kennedy Jr. and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress Cheryl Hines are now husband and wife.
The couple married Saturday before family and friends gathered at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod.
The 60-year-old Robert Kennedy is an environmental lawyer and activist who lives in New York. He is son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the late Sen. Edward Kennedy. It is his third marriage.
Can I ask a question? Who gives a shit? Do we still care about The Kennedy’s? There used to be some pretty bad ass Kennedys, but they are all gone now. I’m sure there are some doing good things for society and all that jazz but the cool factor flew out the window with John Jr. right? I know RFK Jr. is a lawyer doing good for the environment, but Cheryl Hines? You’re a a god damn Kennedy, act like it and get some Marilyn Monroe level tail.
Maybe there’s a 16 year old Kennedy out there ready to restore Camelot? One of them banged Taylor Swift right? Is that the same one that chatted for a while with the guy looking for Katy Perry? I don’t want to give up on the dream, there just may be a Kennedy out there snorting coke off a starlets ass being groomed for greatness. But until then, give it a rest with the whole calling every Kennedy under the sun a celebrity if they haven’t done a thing to earn it.

Boston Globe – Researchers tagged a great white shark this week off the coast of Cape Cod, the first of the season to be marked for tracking in the area and one of only a few sightings of the massive predator.
The shark, nicknamed “Avery” by officials with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, was identified as a female estimated at around 12 feet. It was tagged by the Massachusetts Shark Research Program off of Chatham.
Hey, no big deal right? Sharks don’t eat people, they only eat seals. Just don’t swim near the seals they say. Well I watch this unreal video from WHOI and tell me “Avery” won’t eat the wrong thing by accident…
FUCK THAT SHIT I AM DONE! That shark attacked a yellow piece of metal! You’re telling me that if there was a delicious Italian blogger such as myself doing the backstroke around “Avery”, that she would just let me swim by because I’m not a fucking seal? That beast would snack on my ass faster than you can say salami.
Nope, sorry. All done. Sending Mrs. Hippie to Wal-Mart for a kiddie pool as we speak, if you need me I’ll be splashing around in it on my front lawn. Ocean is all you Avery.
thanks to Ben for the tip

ABCnews.com – Ryan Perez might look back someday and say having Tommy John surgery on his right arm was the best thing that could have happened to his left.
That’s right, his left.
The 20-year-old from tiny Judson University in Illinois is one of baseball’s rare ambidextrous pitchers. He’s been all the rage in the prestigious Cape Cod League since he touched the low 90s on the radar gun — with both arms — in last week’s All-Star game.
He came on in the third inning and struck out the first batter left-handed, the second right-handed and the third left-handed.
“Didn’t see that coming,” Perez said.
Neither did the announcers on the regional telecast, fans in the stands and even some of his teammates who were doing double-takes in the field as he flipped his custom-made, six-fingered glove from one hand to the other. The 18-pitch performance earned him the West team’s MVP and left all to ask themselves, “Did he really just do that?”
Excuse me? Did I read this right? While I was reading this article I checked the date three times to make sure it wasn’t April 1st. Then I checked every closet in my house for Ashton Kutcher to make sure I wasn’t getting punked. This dude struck out 3 people, in 18 pitches in the low 90’s, using both of his arms, in one inning, in an All Star game. There is only one thing in the world I can do with both arms, and supposedly that makes you go blind.
P.S. I’m still not 100% sure that Orson Welles didn’t write this article.
