I kept waiting for rain, but the earth was getting drier. I’d keep the late summer cover crop intact until conditions improved, until the wind came out of the east and rain could turn this tan lot to chocolate. But it didn’t rain — and it hurts to set the disk upon the loose and arid surface. What do I mean by “hurts”? Surely, the act could not pinch or punch me. The cover crop — oats, rugged but thirsty — are easily flattened; their incorporation gives me no trouble. What hurts is the sound, the sound of drought, the ...

In the 2024 hurricane season, Long Island dodged a huge bullet of a hurricane. Although we are on the northern part of the Atlantic coast’s hurricane alley, along which the enormous storms often move, we somehow avoided one this year. That is not going to last. This year, instead, terrible hurricanes, somehow, rather than going north and hitting us, struck in the south — most notably, Helene and Milton, which devastated a large portion of the Southeastern United States. Helene on September 26 made landfall in Florida, and just two weeks later, on October 9, Milton also made landfall in ...

When it comes to most Halloween things, I’m a wimp. Ghosts and ghouls give me nightmares. Halloween costumes are slightly traumatic, too. When I was a kid in Niskayuna, New York — a town so far north, summer was just a quick thaw — I had to wear my winter coat over my costume. This was years ago, before global warming. The snows came early to Niskayuna. It was demoralizing to have to explain my costume to every candy-giver. They couldn’t see that I was a tiger, which would have been obvious without my parka. This went on for years, ...
