That skit's funny. It's true that people who both speak English sometimes can't understand each other. There are a lot of Jamaicans on Cape Cod, as well as many other places across the US, but some of them speak with such a strong accent, I really don't understand what they've said. Most of the ones I converse with have been here for years so I figure they've gotten their green cards.

I can usually tell if someone's from Boston. An exaggerated example of Boston speak is to make sure you use your blinkah when making a turn in your cah.

Over recent years, maybe the last 10 or 15 or so, regular tourists and people getting their summer homes ready for the season start arriving in mid-April and their numbers usually pick up all the way through Memorial Day. This year that hasn't been the case. From Memorial Day weekend on the Cape is bonkers with people until about two weeks before Labor Day when people start returning home to get their kids ready for school or when students leave to get ready for the upcoming school year or people go back from their summer vacations to get ready for work. Tourists still come here in considerable numbers through Columbus Day weekend because the fall season here weather-wise is just outstanding.

But I think it's going to be a down tourist season overall this year. Many Canadians have stated that they won't be making their annual visits to the US in reaction to Trump's bluster. And I think a lot of Americans are concerned about the economy and their personal financial situations so it looks like this year Cape Codders will be able to enjoy the area more to ourselves than usual.
