‘It took us back’
To the editor:
We enjoyed Dennis Minsky’s essay, “Peculiar and Superior,” in the first issue of the Independent. It took us back to our year-round days, ’72 to ’75.
He wrote that he became a year-rounder in ’05, but Dennis was there all winter in ’72. He got us there, saying, “Great apartment at 606, but you need to take it by tomorrow morning.” I don’t know if we would ever have made the move without that kick in the pants, arriving in the dead of February.

Scooping the Post
To the editor:
Elspeth Hay [“Danger Blooms in Cape Cod Ponds,” Aug. 9] beat the Washington Post on the climate change story and cyanobacteria, which the Post reported on Aug. 13 in “2°C: Beyond the Limit.”

Nice
To the editor:
I just did the crossword and read “The Year-Rounder.” Really nice writing. Looking forward to enjoying more of it.
Kudos for the enterprise!
—Sue Post, Truro
