The Sandy Hook memorial playground in West Islip, NY

Leave a comment

I took these shots yesterday of the Sandy Hook memorial playground in West Islip, New York, just past the marina and nestled against the Great South Bay.  This particular playground is dedicated to a little girl named Madeline Hsu.

It’s one of 26 such spaces in the tri-state area dedicated to the 26 victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Noo Yawk.

Where the girls wear miniskirts through the week of Christmas.

Where pizza costs seven dollars a slice.

Where you have time to snap precisely ONE picture before your train leaves.

Where there’s no train to Manassas, but there is a train to Manhasset.

Where a walk down the street reminds you of “Blade Runner.”

Known also as the praying mantis.

We’ve got ’em in New York.  But they are both larger and far more numerous in Virginia.

Apparently, the ancient Greeks regarded them as magical creatures who could tell lost travelers the way home.

“Ebola New York.” Those are three words I’d never thought I’d have to google. :-(

This piece from the Washington Post is somewhat more reassuring than the headlines I’ve scanned at the supermarket.
