Too Many Daves
by Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel)
Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave
Had twenty-three sons and she named them all Dave?
Well, she did. And that wasn’t a smart thing to do.
You see, when she wants one and calls out, “Yoo-Hoo!
Come into the house, Dave!” she doesn’t get one.
All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run!
This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves’
As you can imagine, with so many Daves.
And often she wishes that, when they were born,
She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn
And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim.
And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey.
And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.
Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin O’Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff.
One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.
And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.
And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.
And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Zutt
And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt
And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate …
But she didn’t do it. And now it’s too late.
Well, here it is another November 9th which is the day I celebrate the “birthday” of the Huletts Current. It’s now been exactly seven years since my first post in 2008.
I love hearing from everyone with story ideas, news and community “goings-on.” It gets a little slow during the winter and when I’m busy with other things I can’t update the blog as much as I would like. However, I enjoy hearing from you and sharing your thoughts and pictures about Huletts. Here is an email I recently received which demonstrates how certain posts trigger other memories.
I want to thank you for having this blog available to read. My family (parents and 6 kids) spent 2 weeks every summer from about 1962 to around 1980 at Huletts Landing. We stayed in the cottage called DelNoce. We were there the year the Mohican sank. Mr. Eichler asked all the Dad’s to drive the folks from the ship over the mountain to Whitehall (It was a church party). My Dad tells stories about how much fun these folks were as he drove them to Whitehall.
Thanks again,
Kevin Burns

California Rep. Adam Schiff and New York Rep. Steve Israel made a wager on the Mets-Dodgers NLDS. Schiff wagered gourmet popcorn from California while Israel wagered New York bagels. The loser was also required to make a one minute speech on the House Floor praising the winning team.
The NY Mets went on to beat the Dodgers in five games. Schiff made good on losing the bet by singing “Meet the Mets” on Friday afternoon.
For all of our Mets fans – enjoy!
The children’s costume parade has become an annual tradition during the Columbus Day weekend.
Many thanks to all those volunteers who made the Columbus Day weekend so spectacular. From the children’s parade, the festivities in the Casino, to the birthday party for Ed and all the other “goings-on” around the Landing, this was certainly a Columbus Day to remember. The colors just began getting vibrant as the weekend ended. So please consider this a heartfelt goodbye until we see each other again in 2016! Please stay healthy as the weather starts getting colder.
The trees on top of the mountain reflect autumn’s brilliance.
We will have a surprise birthday party for Ed in the Casino on Saturday.
Everyone is welcome to stop by the Casino on Saturday afternoon around 1:00 pm for a surprise birthday for Ed.
Please do not say anything to him so that it will be a surprise.
Ed’s birthday is a big one this year – involving an 8 and a 0, but you’d never know it by how hard he works!
Please stop by and wish him well!!
Looking for some volunteers who aren’t scared to act scary for the first ever haunted Casino on Saturday after the children’s parade.
Doctor and nurse, severed head, multiple zombies and Dracula. The characters can be played in shifts. No need to be there the entire 2 hours.
It will be fun. If interested, see Andrew & Amanda at the Casino.

Andrew and Amanda wanted everyone to know the Casino will be open on Friday and Saturday nights thru Columbus Day.

A re-creation of the Star Trek Enterprise bridge is one of the things tickets can be purchased for at a fan inspired Star Trek conference that will take place this upcoming weekend in Ticonderoga.
The first Star Trek event in Ticonderoga (billed as Trekonderoga) will take place over the Labor Day weekend.
Original Star Trek guest stars from the 1960’s show visiting the event include Sally Kellerman (second Star Trek pilot), Don Marshall (Lt. Boma in the episode “The Galileo Seven”), Barbara Luna (Marlena Moreau in the all-time classic episode “Mirror, Mirror”), Louise Sorel (Rayna Kapec in “Requiem for Methuselah”) and Sean Kenney (Captain Christopher Pike in the two-part Star Trek episode, “The Menagerie”).
Also, the original 1966 Batmobile will make an appearance in Ticonderoga on Saturday, September 5th only.
The “Star Trek” fan fest was the idea of James Cawley, a Ticonderoga native and Elvis Presley impersonator. The entire Enterprise set from the original show has been recreated in a building in Ticonderoga to use in production of fan created web episodes of the beloved show.
Consider buying some tickets and heading to Ticonderoga for a great idea this upcoming weekend!
