Why Do We Love Pirates So Much?

A bit of randomness, but I was at boston common, and there was a guy dressed up like a colonial person, and he was wearing a tricorn hat. I wanted to yell hey that's Jack's hat!!

I'm so jealous..I would love to be in Boston and be able to see the Common....my husband is originally from Boston and I haven't been there is quite some time. Lovely, lovely place...I love New England

I was thinking about my trip to Williamsburg, Virginia and few years back just before I saw POTC for the first time, and I would have gone crazy seeing all the Bristish Soldiers cuz they would have reminded me of Port Royal......I bought my little boy a tri-corner hat at one of the gift shops and he was adorable in it..I still have it! but it's not quite like Jack's, it's colonial style.......

We made tri corner hats in junior school, mine was pink.

more thoughts from Tx. ah, why pirates--can't have 'em--stands to reason that human nature thang that drives us all-- 😕 it's freedom, it's the cool talk and by all I hold dear--it's the RUM. Whatever else would make you want to be away from all you hold dear, computers, indoor plumbing, creature comforts so many I can't list--chocolate icecream, for sweet Mary's sake.

Of course, there's that feeling...if you've ever ever even once been on a boat with the movement of the water and the smell and the taste,oh yes the taste--of the sea, fresh water is good, but salt water, caresses and buoys you and dreams you--it's the soup of life from whence we all came. It's always good to go and visit your mother (ocean). In a nutshell, it's can't have 'em, wanna be 'em, and the blessed, beautiful and blue ocean. Yeah, oh, and the rum 😄
ta darlin's gotta go to Port A and check friend's boat--keep a weather eye.... 🤘
