Thanks! Happy new year to you, too!
Happy New Year everyone! May 2020 recede in the rear view mirror as quickly as possible.
I’m sorry about the suspension of the Essex ferry. I hope it will be resumed soon. And kudos who thought of the boat parade to honor the decades of creations by Pete Hornbeck. But we’re all laughing at the guy who plunged through the ice of Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, managed to save himself with textbook ice-rescue techniques, and never lost his cup of coffee. We’re glad he’s OK, but it was absolutely hilarious!
