Over The Cliff: Aerial views of Cape Cod home lost to ocean erosion from NotAdrone on Vimeo.
The music makes me want to punch myself square in the nuts, but other than that this is a really cool video. If this dude can shoot this with his remote controlled drone thingy then I’m pretty sure the government knows what you had for breakfast this morning.

CCT – NANTUCKET, Mass. – 1969 – Hippies can walk Nantucket beaches barefooted this summer but they may have to wear sandals or shoes to eat.
The Board of Selectmen disclosed Wednesday it has recommended to the forthcoming annual town meeting three bylaws designed to discourage hippies from mixing and mingling on this sedate resort island off Cape Cod.
One recommendation would prohibit bare feet in a restaurant, drug store, public dining room or bar. The penalty would be a $25 fine.
The selectmen would also ban: Sleeping at night in a boat or on a float in Nantucket and Madaket harbors without a permit, and sleeping on beaches or on other certain public and private property between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. without permission of the owner.
Well I certainly hope they’ve repealed these laws by now. I don’t know about you but if I spent a weekend on Nantucket and didn’t break every single one of them I would consider the trip a failure. I mean what true Cape Codder hasn’t woken up buck naked on an inner tube floating around Nantucket Harbor with a $753 bar tab from the Chicken Box duct taped to their forehead? If you haven’t then you are doing Nantucket wrong.

CapeCodOnline.com – A new “Carib Tails” international citizen science effort has begun to track humpback whale seasonal migrations between Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary and marine sanctuaries in the Caribbean, according to recent materials released by Stellwagen Bank officials.
Boaters are asked to photograph the tails of humpbacks they encounter at sea to support ongoing research on the approximately 1,000 humpbacks that migrate between Stellwagen Bank and its Caribbean partners.
The photographs will be matched with existing entries in the North Atlantic Humpback Whale Catalog and could be added to the collection – particularly if the humpbacks are previously unknown or unphotographed.
Oh look at that an “international citizen science effort” and they want Cape Codders to photograph whale tales from their boats. Well if they can get people to do all of their work for them and add to their picture collection then so can we.
The Real Cape would like to announce our “Cape Cod citizen science effort” where we ask all of you Cape Codders to send US your photos of whale tales in their natural habitat as well. Only we don’t want pics of Moby Dick, we are looking for submissions of a slightly different type of whale tale.
So remember Cape Cod, have your cameras ready at all times. You never know when a whale tale might just pop out of nowhere. We will do our part and “study” every photo we get… you know, for science.

CapeCodOnline.com – BREWSTER — It’s a question of seeing the forest through the trees for opponents of a solar energy project that would require clear-cutting sections of woodland off Commerce Park Road.
The area is already home to industrial activity, including a half-dozen businesses and an existing community solar project. But the backdrop for those businesses is an important ecological resource in the form of a 100-year-old pine-oak forest, according to two men fighting a 4.6-megawatt solar energy project planned for the area.
“Personally, it’s a mind-blowing idea, in 2014, that they would cut down a forest to put up a solar array,” said Paul Gasek, an Emmy Award-winning producer and a former senior science editor for The Discovery Channel who lives in town.
Gasek and Christopher Powicki, a vocal supporter of renewable energy who has nonetheless sparred with the cooperative over specific projects and policies, argue that the potential benefit from the solar project at Commerce Park wouldn’t outweigh the detriment of the nearly 29 acres of clear-cutting necessary.
Fucking Hippies. They want nothing more than to end our reliance on fossil fuels by using alternate sources of energy but when we want to build a solar array they whine about cutting down a few pine trees. Listen guys we aren’t talking about the rain forest here, these aren’t 1,000 year old Redwood trees. These are pine trees growing out of a big fucking sand bar. I’m pretty sure the world’s oxygen supply won’t be at risk if we chop down a few trees in Brewster.
Everybody on Cape Cod is an environmentalist these days and wants renewable energy right up until the point when they actually start building the facilities. Windmills cause vertigo and ruin water views! Solar panels take up space that could hold an organic garden! Nuclear plants can melt down killing tens of thousands of people and scorching the earth! Wah!
Make up your minds and either stop complaining about all these alternative energy projects or keep your mouth shut when my friends and I are re-enacting the Zoolander gas fight while we fill up our 8 mpg trucks.
P.S. Yes my name is Hippie, no it was not given to me because I smoke weed and hug trees all day, but that is a story for another time. Yes I do like the environment but I also dislike “environmentalists”. I know… I’m so mysterious.

These guys really love cock!
So this was apparently taken on something called Dynamite Day which is on January 5th. These guys start drinking at 7 a.m. and don’t stop until 2 a.m. I guess? Yeah, my friends and I have a name for that as well, we call it Saturdays. Bottom line though is if you send us a photo of an eight foot dick we are publishing it 12 times out of 10.
Next time could you at least pee “The Real Cape” into the snow or something, or even better you could invite us to Dynamite Day. I just can’t promise that we would stop drinking at 2 a.m. though, that seems a little early.

CapeCodOnline.com – FALMOUTH — A 33-year-old Falmouth man pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon at his arraignment in Falmouth District Court on Wednesday.
Dana O’Keefe, of Braeside Road, allegedly threatened to kill a man with an ax, records show. The dispute was allegedly over a girlfriend.
Hey Falmouth, chill out. It seems like every story about whacked out Cape Cod criminals lately is coming out of there. It’s like Falmouth is trying to take Hy-Town’s crown as the ghetto of the peninsula. You’ve got dudes slanging guns, chicks sucking on Reddi Whip cans in supermarkets and now Paul Bunyon here is avenging his girlfriend’s honor with an ax?
What happened to the good old days when Hyannis was where the lunatics roamed and Falmouth was just known as that cute little place that discovered the Titanic and sues itself because its windmills cause AIDS?

FALMOUTH — A 32-year-old Falmouth man was arraigned Monday after police said he was in possession of a semi-automatic handgun without a firearm identification card.
Robert Madigan, of Eric Clauson Lane, was arrested Saturday and later released on $2,500 bail.
Earlier in the day, police said, Madigan called friends and said he had something to show them at his house.
Madigan allegedly pulled a black semi-automatic handgun out of his pants and described it as a Ruger, telling his visitors he had more of the guns and was interested in selling them for “$250 a pop,” police said.
I just want to give this dude a quick piece of advice and I’m gonna make it short and sweet. If you invite your friends over in the morning to show them your sweet new Ruger and you end up in jail on weapons charges before lunch is ready? I think it’s time to think about getting some different friends.
I guess it’s true what they say, you really find out who your real friends are when you’re selling unregistered firearms.
