Love that title, which it the slogan for Fire Island, NY. Hadn't been on the Island since grade school maybe, but not much has changed. No cars allowed, 8 mph speed limit for bikes. We stayed in Lonelyville, where the streets are boardwalks:

The view from the rooftop deck of the house where we stayed:

We walked to the lighthouse:

The island's essential services:

More Fire Island later. I needed some ".calm" when I accidentally pulled the needles out of my project, 80% done:

I did the same thing two East Coast trips ago, almost to the day. You think I would've learned.

Maybe Marina has put a jinx on you because she’s sorry to be left at home.

That looks/sounds like heaven! Oh I hate it when that happens, although I’ve become quite accustomed to it as it happens nearly every time Django jumps on my lap, at least once a night. He’s so stealthy and big!
