The Jewish Massacre in Australia, Rob Reiner and his wife get murdered , The Brown University Shooting and the ISIS ambush in Syria that killed 3 Americans. Just hope it's not Terrorism. The Brown University Shooter shouted some things before shooting.
I often thought more Met Fans were Jet fans and more Yankee fans were Giant Fans because those 2 football teams played in those 2 stadiums with the Mets and Yankees. Am I right ?
Haven't been a baseball fan since Covid 19 , salaries have gotten out of hand. I'll go to a Chinese Buffet and watch...
State Aid pays 2/3's of the taxes up there. Newsday had a feature article about the unequal state aid distribution that heavily favors Upstate NY. When you call the Police Upstate, more often than not you'll see a State Trooper or Conservation Officer Respond.
NY has some of the cheapest land in the East. It's why NY has the fastest Amish population growth in the country. The weirdest thing passing an Amish Buggy on a NY road!
Is there any hunting there ? Drove down that loop many times over the years. I wonder if there are Turkey there ? They could easily have a Shotgun Season there for Deer if they stopped people going over the bridge during weekdays. Just allow the Coast Guard and State Workers .
Why can't they have online learning starting in 10th grade for certain courses?
Senior Citizens should be exempt from property taxes and they should pay an income tax instead. A minimum property tax or an income tax wouldn't raise Long Island property taxes, they'd make others around the state...
Actually there was a Company that sold one recently. Kingston Arms up in Liberty NY sold one a couple of years ago for about $600. It was a full sized gun and had a Ruger 10/22 magazine . Looked really cool and then the company went out of business ? Saw one on Gunbroker and the current bid is...
The WW2 Destroyer USS Baldwin ran aground off Montauk in 1961 while being towed to Philadelphia and the Navy towed it 65 miles offshore and scuttled it and sank it just past the Continental Shelf drop off and it's in 1000 plus feet of water. They say 1000 plus feet of water, but why is the wreck...
Did you fish the wreck on a Party Boat ? The Andrea Doria, the 570 Foot Republic Ocean Liner , The USS Spikefish WW 2 Submarine and another Big Freighter aren't too far away.Just looked at a map of the area. Twin engines are needed for a trip like that ! I could see that wreck being good for...
I read it's just rocks now . 16 fathoms , the 16 Fathom Reef. They should sink one barge/ ship /rock pile after another in a big long straight line instead of in a big giant lump they do now. But outside 3 miles the reef will have Lobster Pots and we all know how irritating they are with all the...
I just think there should be a minimum property tax everybody in NY has to pay so it evens things out a bit. Newsday had an article years ago about the crazy state aid distribution in this state that heavily subsidizes counties upstate. Both Nassau and Suffolk Counties should have an income...
State School aid plays a big role in how much a school district taxes are. Southampton school salaries are just as high as school salaries in Nassau County, what Southampton has more of are migrant workers who work the farms out there and the summer residents out in Southampton have lobbied the...
The whole point of a minimum property tax Would be to even out the tax burden and get a tax reduction in downstate NY. More State Aid would come our way and school taxes would go down. My property taxes upstate are half school and half county and local, both tax bills are about the same amount...
This isn't political .
I look at my Long Island Tax bill and it's $14,000 a year and I look at my Chenango County Property Tax bill and it's under $700 a year ( both school and county/local tax) taxes on a property that's 11 1/4 acres and has a small cabin. I could live there full time and send...
Guess who was the last U Boat Captain to die ? He sank the British Tanker Coimbra and the Norwegian Tanker Norness in January 1942 off Long Island. His name ? He died in June 2018 at the age of 105.
Went out for Bass today Thursday 11/20 because it was flat calm except in the inlet where there were rollers you were always looking over your shoulder at.Big fleet of boats chasing birds , a lot of wakes, rocking back and forth. Saw a fish here and there caught , didn't look too big . Pain in...
Any danger from radiation ? Did your dad eat that Mako Shark ? I remember catching my first shark in 1973 off Montauk . Do you remember what Merrick was like in 1964 ? , I was born that year. The marsh went right up to Merrick Road , they illegally pumped sand from Merrick bay to fill in the...
