As I am getting ready for work I can't help but be excited for this day. It's going to be a beautiful one. Long Island in August; What could be better? I'm thinking that I might head out east this weekend to pick some blueberries. Maybe I'll go to the beach the next day. Or I'll walk through one of our beautiful state parks. Or I'll watch the surfers in Long Beach. Or I'll go clamming on the north fork. Or go for a wine tasting. Or I'll I just sit outside in this beautiful weather and read a book. I love waking up on Long Island!

Yep, it's absolutely perfect weather. No mall today. This is a great day to take the ferry to Ocean Beach .
Thanks for writing a positive post.

Late summer days like these in NY always remind me of 9/11. The news of increased threats doesn't help either.

Most people are worrying how they are going to pay their taxes and survive.

I love waking up, period. It's so much better than the alternative.

Funny, I thought the same thing this morning!

I love summers on Long Island-- yesterday I was driving during sundown, and the sky looked so pretty. I wish I had I good camera on me.

I agree that taxes can be a burden, but everything I listed with the exception of the blueberries is free. Of course, you have to drive to these places. I worry about bills as well, but if you worry and pay your taxes you might as well enjoy what you're paying for.

That's very nice. Some can't afford to pay their taxes. They have to live with that everyday and are not able to enjoy the free blueberries.

Mike, it's much too beautiful a morning to be entertaining such pessimism-- ignore the debbie downers.
