Yestertday, during the height of a July 4th Cape commute, some well intentioned soul(kidding!) going off Cape drove over the center line of the Sagamore bridge causing a multi car pile up. The bridge was closed for hours. The traffic coming on Cape was backed up for ten miles!

We that live on the Cape know that we take our lives in our hands as we travel on Cape roads at this time of year. We do love the tourists...of course. But; THEY are on vacation and are "entitled" to get where they want to go as quickly as possible. And...the children are entitled to get where they want as fast as possible, as evidenced by the wine bottle knocked over at a table next to me at a local restaurant as the adorable little tike ran to the restroom, carreening into a diners table.

Well; we do love them and need them; so all we can do is exercise caution and patience as we go about our daily business. Watch out for the speeding cars; the cars taking left hand turns in front of you; the cars fighting you for a parking space; and the flying umbrellas on the beach that are improperly anchored in the sand before they become life threatening weapons.

There is one plus here. I am the first Vice President of Outer Cape Health Services. This summer, in conjunction with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, we launched Urgent Care services at out Provincetown and Wellfleet clinics. We anticipate being quite busy.

The summer is here. Take a deep breath, be careful and wear your seatbelt!
