As I write this (Wednesday morning) the prediction is that Earl will pass well to the east of us, and our area will have just a damp and cloudy day on Friday, with heavy swells in the Sound. The Labor Day weekend has been saved! Given the reliability of forecasts, however, and that a hurricane’s path and strength are always subject to change, with Hurricane Fiona close behind, we are reviewing our emergency planning and preparing for problems.

We don’t need our garbagemen signing a pledge, enforcing their commitment to collect our week’s trash. Probably don’t need an activist group calling on our postmen not to illegally read our mail. We don’t need a group calling for action to do your job the way you are generally expected to do it. That is, unless you’re a New York politician.

The analogy might prove informative. It is said that those who ignore the lessons of history are bound to repeat past mistakes. |
