Not the best time to go to Martha's Vineyard

Hurricane Bill (the windy one, not the Windy One)is due to hit Martha's vineyard at the same time the President is going there on vacation.

Oh well, it could be worse...as every expert of film trivia knows, JAWS was filmed there...

another piece of trivia: at one time, there were many deaf people living on the island, which developed it's own version of sign language. Later, teachers mixed this with French Sign language and it became ASL: American Sign Language.

which is a different language from those descended from British sign language but related to Russian and Dutch sign languages.
