Yes, Virginia, there is a Florida in Massachusetts...


....and a few days ago, on our trip to the Williamstown Art Conservation Center, it looked like this.....Previously called "Bernardston Grant" or "Zoar", it might have named by town fathers upon its incorporation about the time the US bought the future home of the Dolphins and your parents' retirement condo.

Your daily Bible history - Zoar
was a city near Sodom and Gomorrah, and in the destruction of those cities it was preserved to "afford shelter to Lot." Lot, on a low-sodium diet, forsook his wife and produced two children from dalliances with his own daughters. These strange offspring were hard-rocking Moab and cool-blowing Ammon. So be it.
