Meet Esek Hopkins. He lives in the park at the foot of my hill.

Once, he was the first commander-in-chief of the US Navy. The first to fly the "Don't Tread On Me" flag designed by and presented to him by Christopher Gadsden.

Now his job is to hang out in the park and point to my house. "Weasel?" he says, "right over there."

Nice guy.
