Saturday walk

 Sunny and warm this afternoon, perfect time for a walk. 

We’ve now reached that time of year where I carry a bottle of water with me just to walk around the neighborhood for an hour. 

The planes were flying low today.

As you know I live in Levittown, close to the border with Hicksville.  When I walk north into Hicksville really can’t tell where the border is, because all of the houses on both sides of the border were built by Levitt & Sons.  But there are differences — Levittown gets its municipal services from Town of Hempstead, Hicksville is Town of Oyster Bay, so different public facilities, tax rates, school districts, etc.

Which makes for some weird situations.  How would you like to be in a different school district than your next-door neighbor?  How about if your house was the only one on your street that was in a different town?

Spindle Road runs east/west in Hicksville.  Potter Lane starts in Hicksville and runs south into Levittown.   The house on the southeast corner of Spindle and Potter faces Spindle and is clearly in Hicksville.  The house on the southwest corner, 2 Potter Lane, is in Hicksville. But 4 Potter Lane is in Levittown.  There’s even a road sign marking the border, erected between the two houses.  They usually don’t put those signs on side streets, so I imagine there must have been some sort of issue …

2 Potter has only one neighbor — corner lot, abutting a county storm drainage basin.

Hicksville schools apparently do not hand out graduation signs. I didn’t see a single sign when I walked around Hicksville.

I did see some lovely flowers, though.

And this cutie

Home sweet home.

Yes, we are letting our colors fly!

Yankees took the first game Friday night. (Boo, hiss) Saturday afternoon?  Bottom of the  9th,  Mets leading 3-2, two out.  Edwin Diaz strikes out Aaron Judge, and the Mets win!

They play again tonight …
