Need for Speed

We see lots of fancy cars in summertime, but the fall is when they really peak. Whether you like cars or not, you’ll find yourself stunned, slack-jawed, as one after the other a roaring blur of outrageous colors goes past. Noisier, faster and more expensive than a carnival ride, these cars both incite and satisfy, for almost anyone, a childlike thrill of fear and delight. Stand near the rumble of a powerful motor and you’ll feel it consume your own heartbeat. These cars, though many are modern, have history here. The spectacle of road racing belies the humble farming roots ... 27 Sep 2023 by Marilee Foster

Next Logical Step

It would seem to be a no-brainer: a Suffolk County “Law To Establish Requirements for Automatic Irrigation Systems,” as it’s titled. Who hasn’t had the experience of driving in Suffolk County on a rainy day and encountering a sprinkler system spraying water into the air even though it’s raining? The bill authored by Legislator Al Krupski of Peconic begins by declaring that “Suffolk County’s aquifer system is not infinite and is the only source of water available to meet the needs of the county’s population.” And, it continues, “according to the Suffolk County Water Authority, approximately 70 percent of the ... by Karl Grossman

On the Wing

As a tractor rattled past, a flock of turkeys, all male, raised their heads. Hidden in the long grass, the turkeys had been otherwise concealed, until now. They lift and look like bright pink sock puppets holding impossibly still. They watch me as I go. I stare back. Turkeys are more overtly comical than most birds. Size helps. When a flock of turkeys runs away, they hop and weave and take heavily bodied flight only when seriously harassed or inspired. But here, in morning’s pink light, disturbed from grazing, the alert, pink faces, their decorative waddles, bespeak royal pigment as ... 19 Sep 2023 by Marilee Foster

COVID Lessons

After writing about COVID since the pandemic began, I got it. A medicine called Paxlovid, taken in pill form, moderated the severity of the infection. One hundred years ago, an aunt, my father’s sister Alice, died of an illness that, as my father would say, could have been cured with “three dollars worth of penicillin.” Her death impacted the family deeply and was considered part of the stress contributing to my grandfather dying. But penicillin only began being used in medicine decades later. With all the faults in society, the response to the COVID pandemic — the rapid development of ... 18 Sep 2023 by Karl Grossman
