The Guest That Wouldn't Leave

Over the weekend the city of Boston was visited by the great aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy. The JFK is scheduled to be decommissioned later this month in Florida, and then it will be stored in Philadelphia until they decide what to do with it.

I have heard some suggestions that since its namesake was born right here in the city of Brookline, that maybe Boston should become its permanent home as a museum. I think that’s a great idea and I’m onboard with it (pun intended). Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen, or maybe it is.

This ship was supposed to leave on Monday afternoon, however a mechanical malfunction delayed its departure and the ship stayed in port until Tuesday. Yesterday, because of high winds, its departure was delayed for yet another day.

They’ll try to get out of here again today. It looks like today’s winds will not be anywhere near what they were yesterday, but we’ll see what happens.

I think somebody is trying to tell us something, that maybe the idea of the JFK staying in Boston permanently isn’t such a bad idea after all.
