Well, I don’t know how to go west tonight
My neighbors are in such a plight
We’re so scared to venture out on the street
And we’re wondering what traffic we’ll meet
Highway to the left of us
Hill Street to the right
Here we are, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, we’re stuck in the middle with you
And we’re wondering what it is we should do
It’s so hard to go out for an errand
If we need to go between 5 and 7
Highway to the left of us
Hill Street to the right
Here we are, stuck in the middle with you
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see, it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to let the highway flow
’Cause all else will move so slow
Highway to the left of us
Hill Street to the right
Here we are, stuck in the middle with you

A Brilliant LightThe village was quiet last Thursday on the morning of a beautiful day, the beginning of many more. People were scattered on benches resting and talking; reading The Press, or rising reluctantly to go about mundane errands. I sat savoring...
Budgeting 101A simple fact about the SALT deductions is being obscured with Nick Lakota’s statements in the news. If the 2017 tax rules expire, residents will once again be able to deduct 100 percent of their state and local taxes. If...
Backroom DealsWho is Jose Reyes? This question seems, by their reactions, to be the most important matter the Southampton Town Democratic Committee has to deal with. For me, and many voting citizens of Suffolk County who contact me, the question isn’t...
Under SiegeOur Sag Harbor park tennis courts are under siege. There are eight clay courts and two hard courts. Information was just given at the start of the season that the hard courts will be given over to pickleball, as they...
Not the Best DaySo, the person who concocted the recent traffic experiment says it was “the best day yet” [“After Southampton Traffic Experiment Victory Lap, Talk Turns to Long-Term Possibilities,” 27east.com, May 7]. Obviously he didn’t drive anywhere between 3 and 7 p.m....
