Meanwhile on the North Fork...........

Protests at Universities across the fruited plain

Looking back I think that the MIT administration handled those as well as possible. For...

Meanwhile on the North Fork...........
Local WLNG radio news just reported that only a small number of Peconic Bay scallops survived the winter. Spawning will be below normal this year. This fall's scallop harvest season will once again be dismal.
Scientists continue to study the causes of this.

Our neighbor to the right broke his ankle today. He is 11 years older than we are.
Both his daughters are here. The younger one just brought him back from the hospital.
Mrs. V spoke with the older daughter. Neighbor should be OK but for a while he can't go upstairs.
