Living In A Fog

It isn’t talked about much, but fog, here, rivals our reputation for light. The reputation for light was made public by artists who painted it. Our reputation for fog was not developed in the same way. People who like fog gravitate to its muted offerings of color, sound and distance. These types are not the kind who promote or capture; they prefer to hide. So, many of the public, and even people who buy a property here, haven’t been told that fog, and not coveted light, is our predominate weather. In Sagaponack, a land fog rises up to meet the ... 17 May 2022 by Marilee Foster

The First Words

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Those are the first words in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. There shall be no law respecting the establishment of religion — those wise men knew what they were doing. The founders knew their history, and they knew that Europe had suffered badly from religious wars in the past, which was not distant from them. The wars began with the Protestant Reformation and Martin Luther and culminated in the Thirty Years’ War, which took place mostly in Germany and killed one-third of its population. That’s twice the kill ... by Anthony Brandt

Still Out There

A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court involving a longtime Suffolk County person, Bill Baird, was at the base of its subsequent Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion in the United States. Now, Roe v. Wade is likely to be overturned by a court majority. A draft opinion leaked to Politico, written by Justice Samuel Alito, sets the stage for it. And Baird, long a resident of Centerport in Huntington Town, who, after death threats and the firebombing of one of his birth control/abortion clinics on Long Island, has lived in another state, was expressing his outrage to me ... by Karl Grossman

Just Keep Planting

Once again, the earliest plantings are up but nearly idle. They were planted on a promising day in early April, but the first month of spring then brought little warmth. May, too, was more like March, with a dry, harsh wind blowing across the land. Were any warmth to build, this wind works to scuttle it. I haven’t taken the soil’s temperature, but I can tell from the light green look of peas, beets and carrots that it is cold, stunningly cold. The direct-seeded crops are much smaller than they should be, and there is nothing I can do about ... by Marilee Foster
