Oh, I hear ya Bill! Those are some of the worst aspects of
life on Long Island. It's those things that I don't miss at
all. I recently had a costly "Long Island lapse" but fortun-
ately they're few and far between. I must say that growing up
there did make me rather thick skinned though. "The first
person to nowhere", ah that captures it! Still part of me
longs to go back there, probably because life was simpler
as a kid, even though life there was on the crazy side.I
remember kids used to even deride the Ice Cream truck guys,
with slogans such as "Bungalow Bar tastes like tar,the more
you eat it, the sicker you are.", and "Good Humor gives you
a brain tumor". Yup, a crazy place it was, and probably
still is. So do you take Southern state pkwy, Merrick Rd.
or Sunrise Highway to get to your parent's places? -Bob
