    Operation Pastorious - What really happened out there on Amagansett Beach

    Operation Pastorius Part 3 : U 202 sailed away about 4 in the morning. It dumped nearly all the fuel overboard and couldn't go very far. For the next 10 days or so the U boat went silent. They probably went out to the Hudson Canyon Area and sat on the bottom waiting for a milch cow ( German word...

I read Spy George Dasch's 1959 book about the landing and 4 or 5 other books that got information from the National Archives...

    Offshore Wrecks

    U156 laid the mine . U156 also took part in the infamous Black Sunday Coastal raid that sank numerous vessels off New Jersey. 35 years ago I was shopping in a Nautical Antique/Museum shop out in Suffolk and they were selling Ammo Clips they recovered from the USS San Diego. Maybe $15 each. Wish...

    NY Mets

    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...

    Should NY have a Minimum Property Tax that homeowners have to pay ?

    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.

    Should NY have a Minimum Property Tax that homeowners have to pay ?

    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!

    Feeding after the rain

    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 .

    Should NY have a Minimum Property Tax that homeowners have to pay ?

    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...

    I hope a Gun company makes a full size 22 caliber M1 Garand someday.

    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...

    Offshore Wrecks

    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...

    Offshore Wrecks

    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...

    Offshore Wrecks

    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...

    Should NY have a Minimum Property Tax that homeowners have to pay ?

    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...

    Should NY have a Minimum Property Tax that homeowners have to pay ?

    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...
