    St Johns Basketball

    St. John's might fall out of the Top 25 and Seton Hall gets in the Top 25. Very depressing they haven't beat a top 25 team this season with all that talent. Team hasn't meshed yet , I hope they turn this season around. No doubt they'll blow Seton Hall away .The team is demoralized with no...

    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.

    Operation Pastorious - What really happened out there on Amagansett Beach

    Read about that landing for the last 42 years, ever since I bought my first Loran C I've been reading about shipwrecks and the German Spies who landed on Amagansett Beach. 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...
