Now N Then

We take the Throgs Neck Bridge

And from the Throgs Neck just to the west you can see the Whitestone Bridge and if you look close beyond that is the skyline of NYC

Cross Bronx bumper to bumper. At least going the other way

SUNY Maritime College. My nephew goes there.

The toll booths. EZ Pass is a wonderful thing.

The Hudson from the Tappan Zee

I should have added that the Name Tappan Zee comes from the name of the Tappan Indian Tribe that lived in the area and the Dutch word for wide expanse of water  “Zee”

Some time ago I had pictures of Terns which I called Turns. Since I was taught spelling by nuns it was probably their fault. The good news is that a member of that same order gleefully brought the misspelling to my attention.

We took 17 south to the Thruway. There was a steady stream of garbage trucks presumably going to our home town dump in Perinton. Keeps our taxes down.

Sticker shock just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge. Saw diesel at $4.75 on Long Island.

We called them fastmovers. F-4 Phantoms

Look at all the nesting material in this Robin’s mouth
