andrew hosmer is the kid to the left of 'dio' (andrew diodati) at the center of the photo




and he is to the right of 'pokes' (chris pelletier)


...


andrew lost a state senate seat election in new hampshire as a democrat by 17 votes in 2016 and is now the mayor of laconia, new hampshire







- ballotpedia



which means there is more drama to this pic than we see at first sight, because 'dio' and probably by extension his closest friend 'pokes' were staunch conservatives during jeff and my senior year playing baseball with both of them



jeff's girlfriend sue edited the school paper where dio had written a scathing but quite humorous political article sue published that made a nasty but but quite funny joke about sue dating jeff




until recently, jeff had lived in kennebunkport




probably because of sue, jeff, an honors student, self identified as a democrat and he did not appreciate what he felt was an insult to his girlfriend and was about to engage in violence with dio one day at practice after the article came out, when pokes stepped in front of him and shoved jeff...




...it would have been a great fight both jeff and pokes were about 6'1" 220-230 and both were stellar atheletes




...but i would have felt bad for each of them, if one of them lost, so i stopped their fight - then i realized the fight should have taken place in the school newspaper...




dad had told me as sports advice not to talk about religion or politics...




which works for most people 




but the guy who said 




- all it takes for evil to win is slackers to stay off the field -




was warning us of what happens because of the guy who said 




- power is ever stealing from the many to the few -




...and America, the very first liberal nation in the world, the nation that ended slavery with the great awakenings, the nation that went to the moon 65 years after the first flight at kitty hawk, the nation that invented comic books, $5 hot & ready pizza, cell phones and rock & roll - is worth fighting for

  qb coffee corner 6 “That was a Malibu beach house, and it was too expensive to run and the business didn’t really work,” says Perry, who runs the facility with addiction specialist Earl Hightower. (Malibu rehab centers like Promises can run up to $80,000 per month.) “So we’re looking at smaller places in Santa Monica and Studio City. I’m keeping the business going because I like it; it’s a good way to help alcoholics.” It’s that mission of helping alcoholics that was the focus of Perry’s recent interview with  THR  inside The Phoenix House , a residential treatment facility in Venice.' - the hollywood reporter  2015 - wiki - rolling stone - memory chimes thought so ! the perrys gave me a  scholarship  : edward m perry lived on latham street which led to the taconic golf course cpd&c alton l's obit who was edward ? - imdb - rolling stone 1 day ago ' In 2013, the star transformed his house in Malibu into “the Perry House,” an  addiction treatment center  for men

  - Dave Simonds is a very skillful film maker from Williamstown. 'Today's U S Defence Readiness Condition: 'DefCon 3' ' There is a growing problem nationally and internationally. Because of all of the wars throughout the world nations have stockpiled billions of tons of ordnance. It is very dangerous to store explosives and rocket fuel, and they are most often stored underground. I found out something terrifying about Loring Air force Base which is above Van Buren here in Maine that needs to be addressed, but I am not sure who to tell. There are Air Force and military bases spread throughout America, and each nation in the world. We came upon this problem researching a possible perchlorate caused cancer cluster at our high school that is located at a former World War 2 era air field which in recent years was also the site of our town's fireworks displays. As we researched perchlorate we discovered most ground water perchlorate contamination comes from milita
