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
