And not just the over served bar patrons arriving home at 2 am.  This is even more annoying: skunks wandering our neighborhoods.
 The skunks are adapting to people- no longer intimidated by those of us who dare to walk in the evening. One crossed the street right in front of me last night- and the odor lingered well after he disappeared behind a house.Â
Tip: avoid walking on the sidewalks adjacent to heavily landscaped yards- I often walk to the right of the bike lane, and appreciate the extra visibility from the street lights.
 The vacant lot on the corner of 96th Street and Third Avenue will forever be known as the “Shelter Haven” property.  The overgrown bay side lot has been an eyesore for several years- waiting for the owner/developer to begin the new project. 
 The Memorial Day parades and ceremonies in Avalon and Stone Harbor were a coordinated effort with the local American Legion- Stephen C. Ludlum Post 331.
Summer Weather
Glad I closed up the house before I left (the downpours were torrential by mid-morning).  I even turned on the air conditioning- painful for frugal me!
The sun is back out this afternoon- a wild day of weather at the shore.
