Action Behind the Scenes!
As a natural consequence of writing this blog, I find myself in the middle of the Patchogue Village Information Chain. I have come to realize that our Village is "very much" a dynamic and vibrant entity. Samuel Morse would be ecstatic if he could see the massive amount of Email, that originates from village groups, and organizations, in response to a subject that needs consideration.

As soon as an issue such as "development of the Swezey Property" materializes, the electrons start flying. Hundreds of Emails are sent creating a massive On-line Colloquium. Arguments both pro and con, start flying back and forth. Computers start to heat-up due to the playful posturing! When the smoke clears, everyone then agrees on a policy or stance to take on a given issue. The Meeting or Conference, is totally over the Internet!

The main point of this article is to bring to your attention, that you have been walking past Patchogue Village, Merchants, Politicians, and Businessman, without having a complete and accurate visualization, of what they are actually about!

I have come to realize, that our Businessman, Politicians, and Neighbors are truly a bright and skillfully discerning group of individuals. I do have confidence in their ability to make valid decisions.

I am very proud to be a resident of Patchogue! The real bottom line is that our constituents really care about the future of our village! Their decisions are indeed made with the best interests of our community in mind.

Please join your friends and neighbors, and become part of the movement to re-vitalize Patchogue. Please make every effort to attend the presentation, on February, 28, 2008, at the Patchogue Theatre. 7:00 PM.

Please forward this Blog and Email notification to everyone that you know in Patchogue Village!

The Raccoon in my Back Yard

The "Neighborhood Raccoon," visits the trash cans, in the back of my house, almost every night! This animal is obviously Italian! He will do anything for some Ravioli, or Manacotti. The "Village Raccoon" weighs about fifty pounds, but don't let his small size fool you! I have personally seen him perform tasks that were truly amazing!

.
The local Raccoon is bringing me to the verge of poverty. As soon as I buy a new Trash Can, the local Raccoon will attempt to pull the cover off of this new container. When all else fails, Mr Raccoon will eat a hole through the cover of the Can, so that he can get his very delicious morsel of Italian Food. I don't blame him! I am now on my Fourth Trash Can, and I am now considering buying a Trash Can that is made of Kevlar; the same material that is used in Bullet Proof Vests!
.
Just when I started to feel that I could somehow co-exist with our nocturnal visitor, I read an article that made my hair stand on end! It appears that our neighbors from the Eastern Towns of Southampton and Hampton Bays have a resident Raccoon of their own! Unlike the "Patchogue Village Raccoon," the "Southampton Raccoon," weighs One Hundred and Fifty Pounds, and has demonstrated that he can bend steel bars with his bare hands!
.
You must read the article about "Southampton's "Godzilla Raccoon!"
(Please click the link below) (Second article down!)

Rumor is that the Southampton "Godzilla Raccoon," actually originates from Maranello Italy, home of the Farrari Sports Car Manufacturing Company. My only fear is that this Raccoon may gnaw a hole, through the Hood of my car, and eat my Automobile Engine!
