DID PLUM ISLAND LOSE A GUEST?
AND
WE QUOTE:
At the Plum Island
Animal Disease Center, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has an important job.
We work to protect farm animals, farmers and
ranchers, the nation's farm economy and export markets... and your food supply.
Plum Island is located off the northeastern tip
of New York's Long Island. USDA activities at Plum Island are carried out by
scientists and veterinarians with the department's Agricultural
Research Service (ARS) and
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS).
We're proud of our role as America's first line
of defense against foreign animal diseases.
FOR YEARS THE LOCALS HAVE SPECULATED ON WHAT REALLY
HAPPENS ON THE ISLAND...WELL MAYBE NOW WE KNOW, MEET THE:
MONTAUK
MONSTER
MOVE OVER NESSIE, FUGEDDABOUDIT SASQUATCH, JERSEY DEVIL YOU AINT
NUTHIN! FINALLY WE HAVE OUR VERY OWN UNEXPLAINED MONSTER. UNLIKE THE
REST OF THEM WE A C T U A L L Y HAVE A
BODY.
JULY 13 WHATEVER THE BEAST IS WASHED UP ON THE
BEACH AT MONTAUK NOT FAR FROM CREW HQ. WHY IT HAS TAKEN THIS LONG FOR THE
STORY TO BREAK NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN BUT THE TIME LAPSE SURE MAKES IT EVEN
MORE MYSTERIOUS.
A DEAD DOG? EVER SEE A DOG WITH A BEAK? A
TURTLE THAT LOST ITS SHELL? TURTLES DONT JUST WALK OUT OF THEIR SHELLS!
LIZZIE GRUBMAN? NO SHE IS STILL ALIVE.
SO WHAT IS IT? AND A BETTER QUESTION, ARE THERE MORE OF
THEM? WE DOUBT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE A RELATIVE AT "PETLAND
DISCOUNT" ANYTIME SOON.

VISITING NYC THIS
SUMMER?
NO TRIP TO THE
BIG APPLE WILL BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A STOP AT CREW HQ.
HERE IS THE
DEAL. COME AND SEE US WE WILL TAKE YOU TO THE "BEAST"
www.brooklynbeast.com
IN BROOKLYN FOR: LUNCH/DINNER OR BRUNCH, VOTED BROOKLYN'S BEST
BRUNCH, WHATEVER WORKS.
THEN ON TO THE
NEWEST ATTRACTION TO HIT GOTHAM IN MANY YEARS:
Want
to look down on the rich and famous? Go eye to eagle-eye with a winged predator?
See the sun rise over Queens? How better to do this than from a balloon 30
stories above Central Park?
The
opportunity HAS ARISEN, so to speak, aS A private company HAS
BEGUN offering rides over the 843-acre park VIA
BALLOON .
Other
than the wicker basket accommodating a pilot and four passengers, there's not
much to suggest the Jules Verne classic, "Around the World in 80 Days." No
roaring flame providing hot air; instead the balloon is filled with helium, an
inert, nonflammable gas. And no soaring for miles; the 45-foot-diameter envelope
is tethered to the ground and raised and lowered by a winch for a 10-minute
hover above the park.
"Get
a spectacular daytime view of Central Park and bustling streets, or wait until
sundown and float above dazzling city lights," says the AeroBalloon Web site..
But it adds that the best time is early morning, "when the winds are most calm
and the sunrise view is extraordinary."
The
flight will also offer a panorama of posh hotels and luxury high-rise apartments
that border the park, not to mention celebrities walking their
dogs.
The
purpose of the rides is to mark the 150th anniversary of Central Park, the
nation's first major urban park, created by architects Frederick Law Olmsted and
Calvert Vaux and opened to the public in 1858.
Their
original 10 foot-by-5 foot "greensward plan," as it was called, is mounted on
the wall of the headquarters of the Central Park Conservancy, which manages the
park.
"This
is a historic event - it gives people a chance after 150 years to see the real
greensward plan, not just the paper version," said Doug Blonsky, the
conservancy's president. "We all get to experience the wonders of Central Park
on the ground, and now from above."
SO
CMON OVER... LETS EAT AND LETS FLY!
