Every December the Montauk Fire Department makes sure that Montauk's Senior Citizens are not left out of the holiday celebration and feasting, by serving dinner

Every December the Montauk Fire Department makes sure that Montauk's Senior Citizens are not left out of the holiday celebration and feasting, by serving dinner "from soup to nuts"....traditionally inside the firehouse. Because of the pandemic, this year's format was grab 'n go, like last year. Seniors had the choice of driving through the parking lot to pick up their goodie bag, or, if they were unable to get there, dinner was delivered to their homes. Above Edna Steck. RICHARD LEWIN

The Doldrums

Out of the cover and onto the concrete farm yard come a covey of curious quail. They sidle forward; clown-like, they bump into each other. They select shadows and duck beneath equipment as they make their way toward the barn door and some spilled barley. Here is where the forklift carries sacks and totes, and grain gets sprinkled around and even crushed by the tires. Blue jays, sparrows and doves are regulars, not quail. Someone’s tame escapees for sure. The little game birds are shy but assertive, watching us as they close in on the source. Imagine the life they ... 5 Nov 2024 by Marilee Foster

Instead, I was stuck in a storm that struck Kansas City and its surroundings. Ah, the glamorous ... by Tom Clavin
