Trashy Bayside and Meteor Shower

January 2-8, 2011

What a funny week, Bayside. Everything seemed to have an ironic bent, especially . Let's review, shall we:

1. Bayside was , as the Department of Sanitation was so busy playing catch up on snow removal, that they suspended trash pick-up, which hadn't happened since before Christmas, until Jan 4.

2. I spy an alleged Sanitation slowdown. Mayor Bloomberg announced this week that he has emplaced plows to monitor their movement on city streets. This before another snowstorm was set to hit, which turned out to be a dud.

3. Saturday Night Live did an opening sketch that satirized Bloomberg's response to the blizzard. It was 4 plus minutes of side-splitting, head-shaking funny.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
