On this day in 1969, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon for the first time and thus today is National Moon Day. (Apparently there are conspiracy theorists who believe this didn’t happen, according to an email in our inbox.) It’s also National Hot Dog Day. So take a
small step to the grill, and a giant leap to fire it up. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

See you in court? Alan Dershowitz is making the circuit again complaining that he is being "shunned" and "canceled" because of his defense of President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Chilmark library director Ebba Hierta says Trump’s comments have prompted her to get hate mail from a Proud Boy member. After Dershowitz issued his threat, the Chilmark library trustees scheduled a meeting that they have since postponed. Editor George Brennan has this story.

You
be the Judge
After releasing a draft management plan that got some pretty feisty feedback from a former superintendent, Trustees officials John Judge and Darci Schofield met with reporter Rich Saltzberg to clarify some points about Over Sand Vehicles and dogs on beaches. They also let the public know that they welcome feedback on the draft plan and pointed to some upcoming sessions where the public can let them know what they think needs to change. Here’s the story.
