Benvenuti, Bienvenue, Bienvenida, Hos geldin, مرحبا بكم, ברוכים הבאים, Welcome!

Hi there,

Welcome to my little corner of the planet. It may change physically, but my life is always evolving and things are always happening; sometimes hysterical, sometimes heart-wrenching, but never, ever dull. Masallah!

Life in a small town or...

...thank God it's only this sort of thing.

From this morning's police blotter:

7:55 a.m. – A homeowner on Orienta Avenue came outside to find a strange man curled up sleeping on his porch. Police arrived to take the man home to his own bed.


And we wonder why our taxes are preposterous?

3:20 p.m. – A snapping turtle who lost it’s way was discovered on a boat ramp at Harbor Island Park. Although a local trapper was unable to transport the animal, police kept watch until the turtle eventually found it’s way back into the water.

Who said we're having a recession or depression?

8:01 p.m. – A person driving a 2008 Land Rover and backing out of a spot in front of 322 Mamaroneck Ave., struck a 2006 Porsche that was stuck in traffic. The person driving the Land Rover left the scene; there were no injuries.

Well, perhaps we are. Older model vehicles.

And what about this: 6:05 p.m. – An ambulance driver struck a stone wall on Greacen Point Road when he made a sharp right turn out of a driveway. The right side of the ambulance and a side mirror were damaged.

This road near me has a home on the Market for 13 million usd. No joke.
