I have never met anyone in the USA who so completely

My photos from Oyster Bay yesterday.
























































Cool breeze in the late afternoon yesterday. Hopefully in a few years the museum will have the steam engine cosmetically restored.

I had to drive the Long Island Expressway once or twice when I
was trucking, back in the day. This looks much more relaxing!
