Today’s #joinindaily theme from Johnny Wills is “Lighthouses.” Sandy Neck Light, Nov. 2012, after I’d boarded up some of the windows for the winter.

When you think of Nazis, you probably think of uniformed officers. But the Nazis were a political party of everyday people. So also think of a janitor tsk-tsking that someone wasn’t protesting “the right way.” A student at rally applauding him. A judge towing the party line.
No one talks about this janitor, Jakob Schmid. He got a cash reward and a promotion for turning in Sophie and Hans. The University of Munich threw him a celebration. Hundreds of students attended and cheered for him. He thanked them with a Nazi salute.
One day, we were all someone else, waking up in new bodies. The rich became poor; some poor became rich. Strangers became family. Each day it happened again. The world changed quickly after that. The only way to make sure you'd have any power tomorrow was to give it all up today.
Excellent Kee Hinckley Thanks for joining in

Jodi Kaplan It was kind of a gimme. The hard part was deciding which picture!

My favorite fake news featuring the Sandy Neck Light is this Colbert piece about AWOL Afghan soldiers on Cape Cod. See minute 1:30 at http://www.cc.com/video-clips/uc4f7i/the-colbert-report-awol-afghan-soldiers

Wait, after you had boarded up the windows? Story??
Sandy Sutherland We used to board up the windows for the winter (ideally before hurricane season). But storms haven’t been as bad (famous last works, I did run down there once a couple years ago before hurricane and board them up) and windows are stronger.
It also kept out thieves, which was more of a problem when the weather was colder and people seldom went out there. Now there’s rangers, and people spending weekends at nearby houses even in the winter.
Sandy Sutherland In case it wasn’t clear. It’s in a family trust. My grandfather bought it in the 40’s.
So, if the Onion is correct ( 😀 ), the CIA has a file on your entire family!!
