Glimmer Glass before the storm

The Smithtown Bay looked like glimmer glass today. It was so calm and quiet I sat on a rock for 15 minutes and did NOT HEAR A SOUND. How is this possible on Long Island? It's a miracle! You would think there would have been some noise as people prepare for Sandy. In other news...

my boat is gone. My new stair case is in danger of washing away even before I can put it in place unless the Hulk shows up tomorrow to help me lift it to safety. Otherwise, I plan to just tie it to a tree as best I can. Damn! I would have been a great partner for Tom Hanks when he was a castaway on that island, don't you think?
